Book excerpt: The Dwarves of Death is a hilarious black comedy by Jonathan Coe William has a lot on his mind. Firstly, there's The Alaska Factory, the band he plays in. They're no good, and they make his songs sound about as groovy as an unimpressed record. In fact they're so bad he's seriously thinking of leaving to join a group called The Unfortunates. Secondly, there's Madeline, his high-maintenance girlfriend whose idea of a night of passion is an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical followed by a doorstep peck on the cheek. Maybe they're not soulmates after all? Lastly, there's the bizarre murder he's just witnessed. The guiding force behind The Unfortunates lies bludgeoned to death at his feet and, unfortunately for William, there aren't too many other suspects standing nearby. . . 'It's about being young, poor, confused and in love. It's also very funny. . . sharp, lucid and witty' Guardian 'Notable for its fresh, contemporary flavour and its bristling intellectual energy. Coe has huge powers of observation and enormous literary panache' Sunday Times Jonathan Coe's novels are filled with biting political satire, moving and astute observations of life and hilarious set pieces that have made him one of the most popular writers of his generation. His other titles, The Accidental Woman, The Closed Circle, The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim, The House of Sleep (winner of the 1998 Prix Médicis Étranger), A Touch of Love, and The Rain Before it Falls, are all available in Penguin paperback.

Book excerpt: William ist ziemlich frustriert: Weder aus seiner beruflichen Karriere als Jazzpianist wird etwas, noch aus der Beziehung mit der attraktiven, aber eher unterkühlten Madeline. Und seine Band The Alaska Factory ist auch nicht gerade der Hit. Als ob das alles nicht reichen wüde, wird William Zeuge eines bizarren Mordes... Dieser rasante Roman von Jonathan Coe, Autor des Bestsellers Allein mit Shirley", bewegt sich durch die Welt der Londoner Bars und Musikclubs – und endet in einem ebenso atemberaubenden wie verblüffenden Showdown.

Book excerpt: Envision a naive young man beguiled, robbed, and ridiculed by a beautiful sorceress. Imagine the young man became the greatest assassin that ever lived. See in your mind's eye an assassin consumed by hatred of all things Magick and committed to their destruction. Visualize the creation- through the power of a Wish- of an artifact of great power to assist his quest. Picture the assassin's second Wish- a Wish for more time and a labyrinth to keep his treasure forever secure from any that might seek the artifact. Realize the consequences of the imperfect Wish- albeit difficult, a path to the assassin's treasure, the Death of Magick. Envision the struggle across space and time between a just and powerful sorceress with rainbow tresses and a demon of timeless evil. The sorceress must seek the weapon created to bring about her destruction.The strongest and wisest of two very different worlds attempt to unravel the mysteries of ancient parchments and devise a plan to defeat the demon threatening both worlds. A new generation of Donothor and Parallan- empowered by Light, Dark, and Illusory Magick- accepts the challenge and assists their king and mentors. What roles have a beautiful mysterious red-haired elf, the bloodline of an enemy, and an artifact of evil? Will the sacrifices of generations be for naught? If they find the Death of Magick, will the weapon destroy them before they face the demon?

Book excerpt: Ever hiss did the blade twist up from the boggy marsh and the feeling did pass. Swords and great spears kissed the blue streets, thrown or dropped as the broken stuck from out the ice held path and roadways along their fallen tribesmen. A light not meant for old men gave the shadow its course to glint and then fade away. This ripple of blue fluttering thought was far better or worse than any ghost between his father's cryptic speeches and like that nothing that always listened to such order was the thought back to his sunflowers and Edmund would be his hope this day. Only her dreams held electric to the fading wind, such to foretell the fog of this simple farmer and his path as it set before them only to the roaming road of the old marsh, far from those dreadful graves of this dying land. Sorrow into the one day in a dying eye of the sparrow and Edmund would promise to never take from this again as such innocence held to experiment, he knew well what he did to this tree.

Book excerpt: The essays in this collection challenge conventional ideas about consumption and consumerism: they consider if the inundation of Western consumer goods have created identity confusions among the affluent in Asia, and if the expansion of consumer culture really does threaten the stability of politically anti-liberal states in Asia. This is the first book to analyse in detial consumerism in the region, and will be valuable reading for students and researchers in Asian studies, economics, politics and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Understanding Jonathan Coe, the first full-length study of the British novelist, Merritt Moseley surveys a writer whose experimental technique has become increasingly well received and critically admired. Coe is the recipient of the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, the Prix Medicis, the Priz du Meilleur Livre Entranger, the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prizes for Fiction, and the Samuel Johnson Prize for Nonfiction. His oeuvre includes eleven novels and three biographies—two of famous Hollywood actors Humphrey Bogart and Jimmy Stewart and one of English modernist novelist B. S. Johnson. Following an introductory overview of Coe’s life and career, Moseley examines Coe’s complex engagement with popular culture, his experimental technique, his political satire, and his broad-canvased depictions of British society. Though his first three books, An Accidental Woman, A Touch of Love, and The Dwarves of Death, received little notice upon publication, Moseley shows their strengths as literary works and as precursors. In 1994 Coe gained visibility with What a Carve Up!, which has remained his most admired and discussed novel. He has since published a postmodern take on sleep disorders and university students, The House of Sleep; a two-volume roman-fleuve consisting of The Rotters’ Club and The Closed Circle; a touching account of a lonely woman’s life, The Rain before It Falls; a satiric vision of a misguided life, The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim; and a domestic comedy thriller set at the 1958 world’s fair in Brussels, Expo ’58. Moseley explicates these works and discusses the recurring features of Coe’s fiction: political consciousness, a deep artistic concern with the form of fiction, and comedy.
