London, 1968: Farewell Transmission are an up-and-coming rock band when the mental deterioration of their singer leaves them stranded. As the Swinging Sixties slowly make way for an altogether darker, more cynical era, drugs, a loose sense of morality and unclear relationships are all aplenty. Trying to navigate difficult and often hostile band dynamics through the years, keyboarder Will has a front row seat to everything.

This is for anyone who has ever felt lost in life, and thought they were the only one. The only one not knowing what to do. The only one struggling to choose a path. The only one behind in life. Because I have lost count of the many times I have felt this way in my 20s, only to find that the people around me were feeling the same. Over the past decade, I have lived in seven cities across three continents and changed careers from politics to tech and journalism. Farewell to my 20s is a collection of intimate stories and conversations with friends that offer a window into the different lives I have lived, and what I have learnt along the way: from leaving home to choosing a path and finding the courage to change when your present no longer fulfils you. I hope this book will remind you that being yourself is the most inspiring thing you can do, and that it is never too late to pursue the things you truly want to. Because it always seems impossible, until it's done.

Mommy issues? Check. Eine Prise Sarkasmus als Verarbeitungsmechanismus? Check. Chaos aus Englisch und Deutsch, Prosa und Gedicht? Check! Wenn wir mal ehrlich sind, tragen wir fast alle Trauma mit uns herum. Leider ignorieren wir es sehr oft und wollen uns selbst lieber nicht ins Gesicht schauen weil es nicht perfekt, nicht sinnvoll, nicht schmerzlos sein wird. Aber wir alle verdienen es, alte Wunden vorsichtig zu öffnen und ebenso vorsichtig zu versorgen, Jahr für Jahr, und Stich für Stich. Join me on a lyrical adventure through unsent letters, angry verse and an attempt at healing. Stay safe (:

The space between us, once warm and fuzzy and full of our emotions, turned cold as soon as I entered the bus that took me away from you. Now it is just grey and full of all these unspoken words that I wish I had said. Maybe goodbye letters can bridge the silence. Maybe they make leaving just hurt a little less.

Hailed by Frank O’Connor as one of “the greatest living storytellers,” J. F. Powers, who died in 1999, stands with Eudora Welty, Flannery O’Connor, and Raymond Carver among the authors who have given the short story an unmistakably American cast. In three slim collections of perfectly crafted stories, published over a period of some thirty years and brought together here in a single volume for the first time, Powers wrote about many things: baseball and jazz, race riots and lynchings, the Great Depression, and the flight to the suburbs. His greatest subject, however—and one that was uniquely his—was the life of priests in Chicago and the Midwest. Powers’s thoroughly human priests, who include do-gooders, gladhanders, wheeler-dealers, petty tyrants, and even the odd saint, struggle to keep up with the Joneses in a country unabashedly devoted to consumption. These beautifully written, deeply sympathetic, and very funny stories are an unforgettable record of the precarious balancing act that is American life.

In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.
