An exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family, from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney. Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common. Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties—successful, competent, and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father’s death, he’s medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women—his enduring first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke. Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined. For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude—a period of desire, despair, and possibility; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.

Sa nobelang ito nasubok kung may mga bagong talinghaga pang makakatas sa metaratibo at realismo ng daigdig ng subaltern. Ang daigdig na ito ay ang iba’t iba at pinagsama-samang impiyernong pinangyarihan ng sari-saring kahayupan—Dreamland, Red Butterfly, talahiban ng Hagonoy, at kung saan-saang pribadong espasyo. Ang mga impiyernong ito ay nagpaparusa nang perpetuwal at paulit-ulit sa mga tauhan. Ang mga ito ang kani-kanilang selda. Itinuturo sa atin ng nobela kung paano takasan ang mga impiyernong ito. Ang pag-alpas ay nagmumula sa sariling pagkukusa, tulad ng katarsis ng isa sa mga tauhan, nang maisip niyang, “Ang lansang namamayani sa solo kong selda'y walang dudang sa'kin nagmumula.” - Mark Angeles, Patikim, Emotero, Threesome Pagkatapos basahin, sunugin ang librong ito. Kumuha ng gasolina, ibuhos sa mga establisyimento't institusyon, at ibato ang sumiksiklab na nobela sa bunganga ng awtoridad. - Albert Cornejo, FEU Writers Guild Pipi raw ang subaltern, sabi ng intelektuwal na si Spivak. Ngunit sa unang nobela ng Ungazpress, makikitang napino na ang artikulasyon ng bokabularyong 'looban.' Maraming aalma sa dahas at karumal-dumal na kadugyutan nito. Ngunit may sakit ang lipunan, at narito ang ilang sintomas. - John Levi Masuli, Pedantic Pedestrians

When the scientist Victor Frankenstein attempts to create life in his laboratory, he sets in motion tragic forces beyond his control and faces losing everything he loves. No reader in the grip of Mary Shelley’s novel, with its mythic-minded hero and its highly sympathetic monster who reads Goethe and longs to be at peace with himself, can fail to notice how much more excellent the original is than all the countless adaptations, imitations, and homages which have followed in its ample wake. In her first novel, written at the instigation of Lord Byron and published in 1818 (and revised in 1831), the teenaged Shelley managed to produce English Romanticism’s finest prose fiction. This edition reproduces her original 1818 text.

The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and—above all else— realizing that you are enough. Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age—making you want to pick up the phone and tell your best friends all about it. Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true, Everything I Know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its terrifying and hopeful uncertainty.
