  • Whit
  • Banks Iain
  • Жанр: Современная проза
  • A little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing…Innocent in the ways of the world, an when it comes to pop and fashion, the Elect of God of a small but committed Stirlingshire religious cult: Isis Whit is no ordinary teenager.When her cousin Morag - Guest of Honour at the Luskentyrian's four-yearly Festival of Love - disappears after renouncing her faith, Isis is marked out to venture among the Unsaved and bring the apostate back into the fold.

  • White Noise
  • Делилло Дон
  • Жанр: Современная проза
  • Amazon.com ReviewBetter than any book I can think of, White Noise captures the particular strangeness of life in a time where humankind has finally learned enough to kill itself. Naturally, it's a terribly funny book, and the prose is as beautiful as a sunset through a particulate-filled sky. Nice-guy narrator Jack Gladney teaches Hitler Studies at a small college. His wife may be taking a drug that removes fear, and one day a nearby chemical plant accidentally releases a cloud of gas that may be poisonous. Writing before Bhopal and Prozac entered the popular lexicon, DeLillo ...


  • White Teeth
  • Smith Zadie
  • Жанр: Современная проза
  • Zadie Smith's White Teeth is a delightfully cacophonous tale that spans 25 years of two families' assimilation in North London. The Joneses and the Iqbals are an unlikely a pairing of families, but their intertwined destinies distill the British Empire 's history and hopes into a dazzling multiethnic melange that is a pure joy to read. Smith proves herself to be a master at drawing fully-realized, vibrant characters, and she demonstrates an extraordinary ear for dialogue. It is a novel full of humor and empathy that is as inspiring as it is enjoyable.White Teeth is ambitious in scope and artfully rendered with a confidence that is extremely rare in a writer so young. It boggles the mind that Zadie Smith is only 24 years old, and this novel is a clarion call announcing the arrival of a major new talent in contemporary fiction. It is a raucous yet poignant look at modern life in London and is clearly the book to read this summer.

  • Who Are You?
  • Каван Анна
  • Жанр: Современная проза
  • Depicting the hopeless, emotional polarity of a young couple, this novel follows their doomed marriage spent in a remote, tropical hell. She—described only as “the girl”—is young, sophisticated and sensitive. He, “Mr. Dog-Head,” is an unreconstructed thug and heavy drinker who rapes his wife, otherwise passing his time bludgeoning rats with a tennis racket. Together with a visiting stranger, “Suede Boots”—who urges the woman to escape until he is banished by her husband—these characters live through the same situations twice. Their identities are equally real—or unreal—in each case. With slight variation in the background and the novel’s atmosphere, neither the outcome nor the characters themselves are quite the same the second time. The constant question of the jungle “brain-lever” bird remains unanswered: Review

Lacking a squad car, they have to cajole a local cabbie into taking them to the scene of the crime. Their superiors are indifferent; the commanding officer of the air base stands in their way; but Silva and Lituma are determined to uncover the truth. Who Killed Palomino Molero, an entertaining and brilliantly plotted mystery, takes up one of Vargas Llosa's characteristic themes: the despair at how hard it is to be an honest man in a corrupt society.

  • ?wi?skim Truchtem
  • Fabicka Joanna
  • Жанр: Современная проза
  • ?ycie pi?tnastoletniego Rudolfa G?bczaka nie jest ?atwe: zawody mi?osne, afery polityczne, romansuj?cy ojciec, matka feministka, niezdyscyplinowana babcia, rodacy niezdecydowani, czy wej?? do Unii… Polski kuzyn Adriana Mole`a radzi sobie z tym wszystkim z w?a?ciwym sobie wdzi?kiem. Z filozoficzn? zadum? (niekiedy tylko przechodz?c? w panik?) przyjmuje otaczaj?cy go chaos i kompletny brak zrozumienia. Najwa?niejsza jest wszak wierno?? artystycznym aspiracjom – nawet gdy na ich drodze staj? zbli?aj?ce si? egzaminy do liceum, wci?? krzywy zgryz i kompletny brak zainteresowania polskiej kinematografii m?odymi geniuszami aktorskimi. Pe?na humoru i trafnych obserwacji opowie?? z ?ycia wsp??czesnego nastolatka to zabawna (i pouczaj?ca) lektura r?wnie? dla dzieci nieco starszych, a nawet zupe?nie doros?ych. Wsp??czesna polska rzeczywisto?? okazuje si? czasem jeszcze bardziej zwariowana ni? Rudolf…

  • Wife 22
  • Gideon Melanie
  • Жанр: Современная проза
  • Maybe it was my droopy eyelids. Maybe it was because I was about to turn the same age my mother was when I lost her. Maybe it was because after almost twenty years of marriage my husband and I seemed to be running out of things to say to each other.But when the anonymous online study called 'Marriage in the 21st Century' showed up in my inbox, I had no idea how profoundly it would change my life. It wasn't long before I was assigned both a pseudonym (Wife 22) and a caseworker (Researcher 101).And, just like ...


  • Wild Ginger
  • Min Anchee
  • Жанр: Современная проза
  • At once a coming-of-age tale and a heart-rending love story, Wild Ginger explores the devastating experience of the Cultural Revolution, which defined Anchee Min"s youth. The beautiful, iron-willed Wild Ginger is only in elementary school when she is singled out by the Red Guards for her "foreign-colored eyes." Her classmate Maple is also a target of persecution. The novel chronicles the two girls" maturing in Shanghai in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Chairman Mao ruled absolutely and his followers took up arms in his name. Wild Ginger grows up to become a model Maoist, but her love for a man soon places her in an untenable position – and ultimately in mortal danger. This slim and powerful novel "examines the fragile sensibilities and emotions of an entire generation of Chinese youth" (Washington Post) and brilliantly delineates the psychological and sexual perversion of those times.
