Home Grown - Joan Smith - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

What do the attacks in London Bridge, Manchester and Westminster have in common with those at the Charlie Hebdo offices, the Finsbury Park Mosque attack and multiple US shootings? They were all carried out by men with histories of domestic violence. TERRORISM BEGINS AT HOME. Terrorism is seen as a special category of crime that has blinded us to the obvious - that it is, almost always, male violence. The extraordinary link between so many tragic recent attacks is that the perpetrators have practised in private before their public outbursts. In these searing case studies, Joan Smith, feminist and human rights campaigner, makes a compelling and persuasive argument for a radical shift in perspective. Incomprehensible ideology is transformed through her clear-eyed research into a disturbing but familiar pattern.From the Manchester bomber to the Charlie Hebdo attackers, from angry white men to the Bethnal Green girls, from US school shootings to the London gang members who joined ISIS, Joan Smith shows that, time and time again, misogyny, trauma and abuse lurk beneath the rationalizations of religion or politics. Until Smith pointed it out in 2017, criminal authorities missed this connection because violence against women is dangerously normalised. Yet, since domestic abuse often comes before a public attack, it''s here a solution to the scourge of our age might be found. Thought-provoking and essential, Home-Grown will lift the veil on a revelatory truth.

''Powerfully entertaining. A true thriller of resilience and defiance'' JANELLE MONÁE ''Tanya Smith''s story is unbelievably bold, captivating, and moving. Never Saw Me Coming is a wild ride from start to finish. She is my hero'' ISSA RAE The true story of how a middle-class Black girl from Minneapolis became one of the single biggest threats to the United States banking system. Tanya Smith fancied herself a folk hero, a kind of Robin Hood, using her powers of persuasion to buck the system and help the poor and needy.It started innocently enough, with calls to celebrities'' houses with her teenage twin sister. Soon, Tanya realised she could convince utility companies to amend the balances of her friends and neighbours, clearing their overdue electricity bills with a single phone call. Eventually, as she tested the limits and realized she could get past any gatekeeper, she began to understand the power of money and what it could do. Over the years, Tanya ''confiscated'' some $40 million in cash and commodities from US banks, using hacked wire transfers. It didn''t take long before the FBI was on her tail. But when interviewing her, they made clear that they were using her to get to the person actually running things - clearly, she wasn''t smart enough to do this on her own (Black people she was told, rob people, they don''t hack computers). Thus began a cat and mouse game with the authorities that would drive her to unthinkable limits, breaking the hearts of her parents and putting Tanya''s life in jeopardy before finally sending her to Federal prison (where she escaped twice) with the longest sentence ever given for a white-collar crime.In the spirit of true crime narratives like Catch Me If You Can , Molly''s Game, and Ben Mezrich''s Bringing Down the House , Never Saw Me Coming is also the deeply personal journey of a young Black woman finding her way in a world that underestimated her brilliance.

''Everyone who met him commented on the arresting power of Lawrence''s bright and sharp blue eyes, and the beard he later grew would be as red as a fox''s brush, but it was not his appearance that Ford was describing.

The stories in this collection are about what the characters know and do not know - about themselves, one another, and the circumambient universe.

Portrait Of A Man - Georges Perec - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Gaspard Winckler, master forger, is trapped in a basement studio on the outskirts of Paris, with his paymaster''s blood on his hands. The motive for this murder? A perversion of artistic ambition. After a lifetime lived in the shadows, he has strayed too close to the sun. Fittingly for such an enigmatic writer, Portrait of a Man is both Perec''s first novel and his last. Frustrated in his efforts to find a publisher, he put it aside, telling a friend: "I''ll go back to it in ten years when it''ll turn into a masterpiece, or else I''ll wait in my grave until one of my faithful exegetes comes across it in an old trunk." An apt coda to one of the brightest literary careers of the twentieth century, it is - in the words of David Bellos, the "faithful exegete" who brought it to light - "connected by a hundred threads to every part of the literary universe that Perec went on to create - but it''s not like anything else that he wrote".

The Man Who Loved Siberia - Roy Jacobsen - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Siberia, to me, is a fairy-tale land. Fritz Dörries set out on his first trip to Eastern Siberia in 1877, when there were still blank spaces on maps of the world. Travelling alone or with his brothers, he climbed mountains, traversed great rivers, explored remote islands and crossed treacherous lakes of ice, always with one purpose: to augment man''s knowledge of the natural world. Bears, tigers, vipers, bandits, stormy seas, frostbite, ice chasms fathoms deep - every danger was faced head on and overcome. And yet he remained defenceless against the charms of the landscape, and the animals, birds and butterflies he found there.Through his twenty-two years in Siberia, Dörries collected a wealth of essential material for scientific institutions, fundamental to our understanding of fauna and flora. This account of his adventures, set down for his daughters in his ninetieth year, and adapted for publication by Roy Jacobsen and Anneliese Pitz, is his second great legacy.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - James Joyce - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

'' A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man begins with one of the most arresting opening sentences in literature'' Patrick McGuinness, from his Preface. A Portrait first appeared in instalments in the modernist magazine The Egoist in 1914, before it came out as a book in 1916, the year of the Easter Rising against British rule in Ireland. An autobiographical ''coming of age'' story, A Portrait is Joyce''s first novel. Many elements of Joyce''s own life - his Catholic schooling, his family circumstances and his father''s financial difficulties, as well as his sexual, political and artistic awakenings - are fictionalized and in it he skilfully extend the English language, as it opens with a child''s voice rendered by a third-person narrator, and closes with the mature Stephen''s first-person reflections.

All the Hollow of the Sky - Kit Whitfield - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Jedediah''s father walked out of his life forty years ago. Now he''s back. He won''t apologise, he doesn''t explain - and, impossibly, he hasn''t aged a day. If you asked the folks of Gyrford, they''d tell you Jedediah Smith looked up to his father. After all, Corbie Mackem was the Sarsen Shepherd: the man who saved the Smith clan from Ab, the terrifyingly well-meaning fey who blighted a whole generation with unwanted gifts. Corbie was a good fairy-smith. And if he wasn''t a good father, well, that isn''t something Jedediah likes to talk about. Especially since no one knows where Corbie''s body lies: the day of his son''s wedding, forty-odd years ago, he set off to travel and was never seen again.These days Jedediah is a respectable elder, more concerned with his wayward grandson John than with his long-buried past, and he has other problems on his mind. There''s the preparations for Saint Clement''s Day, and the odd fact that birds all over the county have taken to hiding themselves, and the misbehaviour of Left-Lop the pig - which has grown vegetation all over its back, escaped its farm and taken to making personal remarks at folks in alarmingly alliterative verse.But then disaster strikes. Ab is back. And Corbie, thought long dead, returns to Gyrford - younger than his son . . . "Prepare to be utterly enchanted!" Alison Littlewood, author of The Crow Garden
