Описание: Winner of the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Fiction One of Granta's Best Young British NovelistsFrom the prizewinning young writer of What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours, a brilliant and inventive story of love, lies, and inspiration. Fairy-tale romances end with a wedding, and the fairy tales don't get complicated. In this book, the celebrated writer Mr. Fox can't stop himself from killing off the heroines of his novels, and neither can his wife, Daphne. It's not until Mary, his muse, comes to life and transforms him from author into subject that his story begins to unfold differently. Mary challenges Mr. Fox to join her in stories of their own devising; and in different times and places, the two of them seek each other, find each other, thwart each other, and try to stay together, even when the roles they inhabit seem to forbid it. Their adventures twist the fairy tale into nine variations, exploding and teasing conventions of genre and romance, and each iteration explores the fears that come with accepting a lifelong bond. Meanwhile, Daphne becomes convinced that her husband is having an affair, and finds her way into Mary and Mr. Fox's game. And so Mr. Fox is offered a choice: Will it be a life with the girl of his dreams, or a life with an all-too-real woman who delights him more than he cares to admit? The extraordinarily gifted Helen Oyeyemi has written a love story like no other. Mr. Fox is a magical book, endlessly inventive, as witty and charming as it is profound in its truths about how we learn to be with one another.

--Book 3 now out in Kindle; paperback out 1st March. "Best sequel ever," 'No one knows what it's like / To be the bad girl / To be the sad girl / Behind blue eyes.' Helen of Troy returns to rewrite history. --With Victoria Embankment in flames and a serial killer on the loose, the killer perfume scare moves to a house in Balham. The dragnet closes on Felicity in Rio, but she escapes into the Amazon. As Blanka despairs, she is summoned to her home in New York, where strange visions ail her kid brother. Taking him to The Met, she meets Helen, now a refugee girl.
To the accompaniment of lyrics from REM, The Who and other rock 'n' roll greats, in TGWF, when the sky comes falling down, 'The Da Vinci Code' meets 'Brave New World, ' 'The Hunger Games' and '1984.'
These edge-of-your-seat, dystopian thrillers plunge you into a labyrinthine wonderland of spying and covert war, and deep inside the souls of a group of A.I.-enhanced women agents, on both sides of the fight, one of them a serial killer on the loose.
At the heart of these tales is the much misunderstood love story of two lovers, from a legendary Bronze Age past, who are reincarnated into a contemporary conflict between MI6, the CIA, the KGB, and a fourth, unknown, force. An alternate reality version of the Western World, TGWF synthesizes new age tech & music, political intrigue & murder, with satire, angels, Auschwitz, and an Einsteinian apocalypse.
-- Blanka was haunted by the death of her young mother, in ways she could barely acknowledge. Waking and sleeping, the vision of a woman plummeting from a castle window into a river consumed her. It was her mother falling from Castle Sant-Angelo--the Vatican Holy Inquisition Headquarters in Rome--into the River Tiber. Then, always, the dream voices chimed in. 'The daughter of Admiral William Virgil Maguire, was thrown in that filthy river like so much stinking garbage, ' a man's voice said. 'Who killed Kitty Maguire, John? MI6?' The voice was Bill Clinton, the American President at the time. In the dream, Blanka was clinging to her mother bobbing up and down in the river, but her mind was far away, obsessed with the voices in her head. 'It wasn't us, ' said another man, 'but it's complicated.' Blanka recognized him as John Deutch, the Director of the CIA. Deutch kept talking, muttering. 'It could have been the Fatima secret, we're not sure. We don't really know how big it was.' 'She is my mother and she's f***ing dead ' she screamed at the voices. 'She took it to her grave, ' Clinton said. Then the voices fell silent, and Blanka was in the muddy water with her mother, desperately struggling to save her. 'I won't let you die, I won't let you die, ' she kept repeating to her. She was holding her, felt the cold of her wet blue dress over her swollen pregnant belly, saw the garrote wound round her throat. 'Ohzone is our program, and Hart is one of the good guys, ' Deutch's voice continued. 'Frankenstein was one of the good guys, ' replied Clinton. 'It's the Ohzone monsters I'm worried about.'

Описание: «What do you think is meant by the term ‘post-racial’ and how far do you think we’ve come, as a country, toward achieving it?» Helen Fox, a white teacher and scholar, asked variations of this question to 87 high school and college students, educators, administrators, community organizers, international visitors, and tribal leaders across the country. Their stories reveal how far we are from a «post-racial» ideal – even in the most liberal of communities. Despite her long experience as an anti-racist educator, Fox was surprised to learn how deeply the lives of people of color continue to be shaped by race, and how hard they have to work to ignore or overcome assumptions, remarks, exclusion, and at times, blatant hostility from whites. The kinds of racism they experience depend on their gender, their religion, their geographical location, their skin tone, their forms of speech and expression, their socioeconomic class, their aspirations, their determination to be outspoken or stoic, the kinds and amount of contact they choose to have (or can’t escape having) with whites, and of course, their ascribed race. Despite our nation’s «post-racial» climate, racialized assumptions, beliefs, and denials affect everything, from the reach of the national media down to the smallest community: the street where one lives, the friends one attempts to make, the social club, the study group, the classroom. As an art educator remarked, «The ‘post-racial’ reminds me of the post-modern – the fracturing of things. It’s not like our society has finally come together – unless we’ve come together as a fractured society and we’re feeling the prickliness of the broken shards.»
