To be a journalist is to tell the truth. Here is Russia as it really is.Part memoir, part collection of Elena Kostyuchenko’s fearless reporting, I Love Russia introduces us to places we’ve never seen and to people who’ve been systematically, brutally erased from view by Putin’s regime. We enter secretive state-run facilities for disabled people, abandoned buildings haunted by suicide and violence, and a schoolyard marked by unacknowledged massacre. We meet village girls recruited into sex work, queer people in the outer provinces, and patients and doctors on a Ukrainian maternity ward.The result is a singular, uncompromising, and profoundly humane portrait of a nation – and of an extraordinary woman who refuses to be silenced.

How do we write about the singular experience of parenthood? Written in a ‘state of attachment’, or ‘under the influence’ of fatherhood, Childish Literature is an eclectic guide for novice parents, showing how the birth and growth of a child changes not only the present and the future, but also reshapes our perceptions of the past. Shifting from moving dispatches from his son’s first year of existence, to a treatise on ‘football sadness’, to a psychedelic narrative where a man tries, mid-magic mushroom trip, to re-learn the subtle art of crawling, this latest work from Alejandro Zambra shows how children shield adults from despondency, self-absorption and the tyrannies of chronological time. At once a chronicle of fatherhood, a letter to a child and a work of fiction, Childish Literature is the latest, virtuosic addition to the oeuvre of one of the most exciting Latin American writers in recent decades.

An anthology that celebrates the power of culture in Palestinian resistance, with selections of memoir, short stories, essays, book reviews, personal narrative, poetry, and art.Includes twenty-five black-and-white illustrations by Palestinian artists.The Arabic word sumūd is often loosely translated as “steadfastness” or “standing fast.” It is, above all, a Palestinian cultural value of everyday perseverance in the face of Israeli occupation. Sumūd is both a personal and collective commitment, people determine their own lives, despite the environment of constant oppressions imposed upon them. This anthology spans the 20th and 21st centuries of Palestinian cultural history, and highlights writing from 2021–2024. The collection of writing and art features work from forty-six contributors from Hossam Madhoun, co-founder of Gaza's Theatre for Everybody, as he survives the post-October 2023 war on Gaza,Novelist Ahmed Masoud with “Application 39,” a sci-fi short story about a Dystopian bid for the Olympics,Sara Roy and Ivar Ekeland with “The New Politics of Gaza as Prologue,” an analysis of Israel’s divide and conquer policies of fragmentation,Historian Ilan Pappé with a review of Tahrir Hamdi’s book, Imagining Palestine, in which he unpacks the relationship between culture and resistance,Essayist Lina Mounzer with “Palestine and the Unspeakable,” an offering on the language used to dehumanize Palestinians,And poetry by the next generation of poets who have inherited the mantle of the late Mahmoud Darwish (1941–2008).The essays, stories, poetry, art and personal narrative collected in Sumū A New Palestinian Reader is a rich riposte to those who would denigrate Palestinians’ aspirations for a homeland. It also serves as a timely reminder of culture’s power and importance during occupation and war.Allison Epstein combines cleverly constructed plot with unforgettable characters in this exuberant historical page-turner, intercut with fractured retellings of traditional Eastern European folk stories that are equal parts deadly dark and slyly illuminating. Vividly written and emotionally intense, Let the Dead Bury the Dead reminds us that the concerns of the past aren't quite as far behind us as we like to believe.

A wild, sweeping novel that imagines an alternate secret history of Korea and the traces it leaves on the present—loaded with assassins and mad poets, RPGs and slasher films, pop bands and the perils of social media.March, 1919. Far-flung Korean patriots establish the Korean Provisional Government to protest the Japanese occupation of their country. This government-in-exile proves mostly symbolic, though, and after Japan’s defeat in World War II, the KPG dissolves and civil war erupts, resulting in the North-South split that remains today.But what if the KPG still existed now, today—working toward a unified Korea, secretly harnessing the might of a giant tech company to further its aims? That’s the outrageous premise of Same Bed Different Dreams, which weaves together three distinct narrative voices and an archive of mysterious images and twists reality like a kaleidoscope, spinning Korean history, American pop culture, and our tech-fraught lives into an extraordinary and unforgettable novel.Early on we meet Soon Sheen, who works at the sprawling international technology company GLOAT, and comes into possession of an unfinished book authored by the KPG. The manuscript is a mysterious, revisionist history, tying famous names and obscure bit players to the KPG’s grand project. This strange manuscript links together figures from architect-poet Yi Sang to Jack London to Marilyn Monroe. M*A*S*H is in here, too, and the Moonies, and a history of violence extending from the assassination of President McKinley to the Soviet downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007.Just as foreign countries have imposed their desires on Korea, so too has Park tucked different dreamers into this sprawling bed of a novel. Among them: Parker Jotter, Korean War vet and appliance-store owner, who saw something--a UFO?--while flying over North Korea, Nora You, nail salon magnate, and Monk Zingapan, game designer turned writing guru. Their links are revealed over time, even as the dreamers remain in the dark as to their own interconnectedness. A thrilling feat of imagination and a step forward from an award-winning author, Same Bed Different Dreams begins as a comic novel and gradually pulls readers into another dimension—one in which utopia is possible.

From one of contemporary literature’s most exciting new voices, a haunting story centered on the Hungarian polymath John von Neumann, tracing the impact of his singular legacy on the dreams and nightmares of the twentieth century and the nascent age of AIBenjamín Labatut’s When We Cease to Understand the World electrified a global readership. A Booker Prize and National Book Award finalist, and one of the New York Times’ Ten Best Books of the Year, it explored the life and thought of a clutch of mathematicians and physicists who took science to strange and sometimes dangerous new realms. In The MANIAC, Labatut has created a tour de force on an even grander scale.A prodigy whose gifts terrified the people around him, John von Neumann transformed every field he touched, inventing game theory and the first programable computer, and pioneering AI, digital life, and cellular automata. Through a chorus of family members, friends, colleagues, and rivals, Labatut shows us the evolution of a mind unmatched and of a body of work that has unmoored the world in its wake.The MANIAC places von Neumann at the center of a literary triptych that begins with Paul Ehrenfest, an Austrian physicist and friend of Einstein, who fell into despair when he saw science and technology become tyrannical forces, it ends a hundred years later, in the showdown between the South Korean Go Master Lee Sedol and the AI program AlphaGo, an encounter embodying the central question of von Neumann's most ambitious unfinished project: the creation of a self-reproducing machine, an intelligence able to evolve beyond human understanding or control.A work of beauty and fabulous momentum, The MANIAC confronts us with the deepest questions we face as a species.

From Hanif Kureishi, author of The Buddha of Suburbia, a memoir about the accident that left him paralysed‘A few days ago, a bomb went off in my life, but this bomb has also shattered the lives of those around me. My partner, my children, my friends.’On Boxing Day 2022, in Rome, Hanif Kureishi had a fall. When he came to, in a pool of blood, he was horrified to realise he had lost the use of his limbs. He could no longer walk, write or wash himself. He could do nothing without the help of others, and required constant care in a hospital. So began an odyssey of a year through the medical systems of Rome and Italy, with the hope of somehow being able to return home, to his house in London.While confined to a series of hospital wards, he felt compelled to write, but being unable to type or to hold a pen, he began to dictate to family members the words which formed in his head. The result was an extraordinary series of dispatches from his hospital bed – a diary of a life in pieces, recorded with rare honesty, clarity and courage.As Hanif wrote, early on: ‘A few days ago, a bomb went off in my life, but this bomb has also shattered the lives of those around me. My partner, my children, my friends.’This book takes these hospital dispatches – edited, expanded and meticulously interwoven with new writing – and charts both a shattering and a reassembling: a new life born of pain and loss, but animated by new feelings – of gratitude, humility and love.

Empecé a escribir este libro poco después de la muerte de Ernesto Guevara. Solo yo sé todo lo difícil que esto fue para mí, en ese mismo momento, cuando su muerte nos parecía mentira, igual que a millones de personas en todo el mundo.RICARDO ROJOMarea Editorial presenta la edición definitiva de Mi amigo el Che. Escrito por Ricardo Rojo meses después de la ejecución del Che en La Higuera, Bolivia, el 9 de octubre de 1967, se trata del primer libro testimonial sobre Ernesto Guevara. El libro se publicó en 1968 a partir de una idea del editor Jorge Álvarez, fue difundido en todo el mundo y colaboró a forjar el mito del Che.Rojo fue testigo privilegiado de las circunstancias más importantes de la vida de Guevara. Lo conoció en Bolivia en 1953 cuando ambos eran unos jóvenes en busca de la “experiencia latinoamericana”. A partir de entonces entablaron una fuerte amistad que incluyó a Celia, la madre de Ernesto. En México asiste a su deslumbramiento con Fidel Castro y los revolucionarios cubanos. Luego del triunfo de la revolución lo visita en la isla en 1961, cuando, ya convertido en el Che, era ministro de Industrias. Rojo gestiona el mítico encuentro con el presidente argentino Arturo Frondizi. Actúa como abogado de varios sobrevivientes de la guerrilla de Jorge Masetti y más tarde de Ciro Roberto Bustos, compañero del Che en Bolivia, lo que le permitió conocer en detalle las circunstancias de la muerte de su amigo Ernesto.Rojo, de origen radical, tuvo una vida política muy intensa que lo acercó al peronismo y lo instaló como articulador del pacto entre Perón y Arturo Frondizi. Desarrolló vínculos con otros líderes e intelectuales latinoamericanos, como Fidel Castro, Arturo Jauretche, Salvador Allende, John William Cooke y Raúl Alfonsín.Esta nueva edición incluye un prólogo de su amigo Daniel Divinsky y un epílogo revelador de su hija, Alejandra Rojo, en el que rescata el espíritu de la época en fotos, documentos y cartas entre Rojo y el Che publicados por primera vez en esta edición.Ha sido un verdadero placer su lectura. Esta relación histórica complementa admirablemente el contenido del “Diario del Che Guevara”. Sin cuanto usted nos informa de su paso por el Congo y muchas otras circunstancias, no sería fácil comprender que un hombre ya fogueado y experimentado en la guerra de guerrillas se haya encontrado en Bolivia en una situación tan precaria de medios y preparación.JUAN DOMINGO PERÓN, carta a Rojo del 2 de agosto de 1968Mi amigo el Che le dio a Ricardo Rojo renombre internacional, ya que se lo tradujo de inmediato a quince idiomas y figura entre los más vendidos de autores hispanoamericanos.ROGELIO GARCÍA LUPO, Página/12, febrero de 1996Cuando acometí en esta oportunidad la relectura de Mi amigo el Che, con vistas a escribir estas líneas, temí que los años hubieran sido implacables con esta obra que devoré en el momento de su aparición, hace nada menos que cincuenta y cinco años. Sin embargo, este libro es de los que no envejecen nunca, se resignifican y se revitalizan con el tiempo.DANIEL DIVINSKY, del prólogo a esta edición
