Book Description
Simon and Auden Triller are twins whose only similarity is the surname they share. From an early age, Simon’s life is filled with academic and athletic accomplishments, friends and adults who admire him. As he grows older, his determination to succeed and passion for life are matched only by his unshakable devotion toward his brother, who is unappreciative to the point of contempt. Auden’s life, on the other hand, is as sparse as Simon’s is full. Wanting nothing more than to live on his own unambitious terms, in a world free of comparisons to his twin, he can’t seem to manage the smallest demands without having them turn into desperate predicaments requiring his brother’s help. Satirical, self-eviscerating and world-weary, Auden’s voice guides the reader back and forth in time and place. Gradually and painfully, Auden realizes the solitude he’s chosen for himself is less peaceful than insanity-making. When, finally, he loses his grip on reality, his actions precipitate a tragedy that threatens to permanently sever his fraternal bond, just when he needs Simon most.

Book Description
Following the violent death of his father, Gershwin Burr descends into a seemingly inescapable depression until, not-so-accidentally, he discovers a remedy for his condition: he steals a book and finds his mood has lightened. Before long, he’s stealing indiscriminately while refining his skills as a professional thief and amassing a small fortune. Despite mounting pressure from his wife to go straight and from his own tortured conscience, he can’t find the desire or motivation to change. Uncertain about how to proceed, the matter is taken out of his hands when his secret is betrayed by someone whose identity is a mystery to him. Arrested, charged, convicted and jailed, his search for repentance and for the identity of the person responsible for his demise, leave him in a state of perpetual unrest. That is, until the final day of his sentence, when the answers he’s been seeking are at last revealed to him. Beautifully written and evocative, this novel contrasts the reverberations of trauma with long-held, often misguided, notions of who is, and is not, worthy of redemption.

Book Description
In these exquisitely rendered poems, people fall in and out of love, in and out of religious belief and in and out of accepting the distance between their imagined lives and the lives they live. They look back as much as forward and pick mercilessly at the open wounds of failed relationships. They inhabit geographies that are both their emancipators and captors. And they find joy, or succumb to sorrow, amid life’s inescapable ephemerality and fragility. Breathtaking in its range of styles, Body of Winter, at its heart, is a vivid reflection of the best and worst of us all.

Book Description
At the centre of this unusual novel of chapter-long sentences lies an unusual protagonist. The survivor of a near-catastrophic fall, he finds himself possessed by peculiar, residual behaviours, the most peculiar of which is a compulsion to expel every drop of pleasure from his life by filling it with repetitive tasks and activities. When an abnormally large, abnormally cruel red butterfly enters his apartment and torments him to the point of delusion and insomnia, he realizes the only way to free himself from its grip is to leave home for an extended period of time and do what is most abhorrent to him: be among people. Wandering the streets, mistaken for the perpetrator of a violent assault by a compassionate university student who takes him in and seeks to rehabilitate him, he remains entirely and infuriatingly resistant to change. Throughout, like a hurricane of events around a static eye, what an intoxicating ride - what a grand experiment – his story is.

Book Description
Assembled from a series of newspaper articles first published in the newspaper *Morning Chronicle* throughout the 1840s, this exhaustively researched, richly detailed survey of the teeming street denizens of London is a work both of groundbreaking sociology and salacious voyeurism. In an 1850 review of the survey, just prior to its initial book publication, William Makepeace Thackeray called it "tale of terror and wonder" offering "a picture of human life so wonderful, so awful, so piteous and pathetic, so exciting and terrible, that readers of romances own they never read anything like to it." Delving into the world of the London "street-folk"-the buyers and sellers of goods, performers, artisans, laborers and others-this extraordinary work inspired the socially conscious fiction of Charles Dickens in the 19th century as well as the urban fantasy of Neil Gaiman in the late 20th. Volume I explores the lives of: the "wandering tribes" costermongers sellers of fish, fruits and vegetables sellers of books and stationery sellers of manufactured goods women and children on the streets and more. English journalist HENRY MAYHEW (1812-1887) was a founder and editor of the satirical magazine *Punch.*
