Safe Mode
Fiction. SAFE MODE is Sam Riviere's first book-length prose text. Framed as an 'ambient novel', a term coined by the American writer Tan Lin, SAFE MODE abandons the traditional novel's temporal logic in favour of spatial and atmospheric dispersal, combining intensely personal material with unacknowledged appropriated content to explore the narratives made possible by mood, or the moods made possible by narrative. Which is which? Does it even matter?
Standard Twin Fantasy
Sam Riviere follows up his state-of-the-nation collection 81 Austerities with an elliptical amuse-bouche served up with no blurb, biographical note or anything else by way of authorial explanation. The text, too, is much like being at a party where you know no one and no one bothers with introductions. A woman called Kimberly is weighing a marble egg while harpsichord music plays, Veronique fiddles with a remote control, and Bathsheba complicates the shadows of a fern.
A Primer for Cadavers
One of the most widely celebrated artists of his generation, Atkins makes videos, draws and writes, exploiting and subverting the conventions of moving image and literature. A Primer for Cadavers collects his fictions for the first time.
Two Twin Pipes Sprout Water
"Two Twin Pipes Sprout Water brings together five discrete sequences of poems and poem-stories. Moving through different voices and times, landscapes and interiors, Lila Matsumoto's new collection offers a sense of the world as an observed tableau, inviting the reader to participate in the creation of a strange yet familiar world full of ordinary-extraordinary moments." -- back cover.
Humbert Summer
Poetry. Young Adult. HUMBERT SUMMER is a book about the febrile matter of fantasy in its rawest form alternately subversive, awkward, romantic, and unsettling. Written between the ages of sixteen and twenty-three, the poems in A.K. Blakemore's debut full-length collection navigate the challenging space between adolescence and adulthood in a culture quick to dismiss, commodify, or fetishise the female body and imagination."
Dead Souls
'Mordant, torrential, incantatory, Bolano-esque, Perec-ian, and just so explosively written that I had to stop and shake the language-shrapnel from my hair and wipe it off my eyeglasses so I could keep reading' Jonathan Lethem 'Full of clever postmodern flourishes, self-referential winks and riotous set pieces. It's funny, smart and beautifully written' Alex Preston, The Guardian 'I absolutely adored Dead Souls. Reading it felt like overhearing the most exhilarating, funny, mean conversation imaginable--which is to say it made me extremely happy and I dreaded it ending' Megan Nolan, author of Acts of Desperation 'I first heard about Solomon Wiese on a bright, blustery day on the South Bank.....
Oliver Reed
Poetry. Fiction. Hybrid Genre. Women's Studies. Art. "In Hannah Regel's brilliant collection, OLIVER REED, the figure of the horse becomes an object for language's brutality and the all too familiar subjugation of women's voices, bodies, and labour. An impressive hyperbolic pastiche of pleasurable misbehavior guides a girl named Sorry through her own undoing while naming new tools for calculated resistance. 'Kill the language. Kill it. Get the shovel. We're making a belt.' I would gladly do whatever she tells me to do and wouldn't think of doing otherwise. Regel creates a new order for the ecstatic wreckage of obedience."--Cassandra Troyan
