Book Description
This book is for anyone who has ever fantasized about hitting the "reset" button on life and starting over as someone else, living somewhere else. Sunset Vertigo is a collection of short stories told by Orlando Braxton, an American expatriate, living in Thailand for more than twenty years. Through mystery, mischief, heartbreak, and endless adventures, Orlando has lived his best second life on the other side of the planet. His stories vividly illustrate that ex-pat life can be extraordinary yet humdrum; surprising yet predictable; exciting yet boring as hell. Orlando is a self-proclaimed "world-class people watcher", and his insight into some of the most unusual people immersed in some of the most bizarre circumstances make his stories come alive. Open this book and escape with Orlando Braxton to a world where everyone is someone other than the person they were back home. And be careful. Sunset Vertigo is contagious.

Book Description
Few contemporary television shows have been subjected to the critical scrutiny that has been brought to bear on David Lynch and Mark Frost's Twin Peaks since its debut in 1990. Yet the series, and the subsequent film, Fire Walk With Me, are sufficiently rich that it's always possible for a close analysis to offer something new – and that's what Franck Boulègue has done with Twin Peaks: Unwrapping the Plastic. Through Boulègue's eyes, we see for the first time the world of Twin Peaks as a coherent whole, one that draws on a wide range of cultural source material, including surrealism, transcendental meditation, Jungian psychoanalysis, mythology, fairy tales, and much, much more. The work of a scholar who is also a fan, the book should appeal to any hardcore Twin Peaks viewer.

Book Description
'I was twelve years old the first time I walked on water . . .' So begins Mr Vertigo, the story of Walt, an irrepressible orphan from the Mid-West. Under the tutelage of the mesmerising Master Yehudi, Walt is taken back to the mysterious house on the plains to prepare not only for the ability to fly, but also for the stardom that will accompany it. At the same time a delighted race through 1920s Americana and a richly allusive parable, Mr Vertigo is a compelling, magical novel - a work of true originality by a writer at the height of his powers. 'A virtuoso piece of storytelling by a master of the modern American fable.' The Independent
