Winner of the Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award, this is one of the defining books of the 1970s, an experimental novel about a young journalist trying to navigate life in America. When Speedboat burst on the scene in the late ’70s it was like nothing readers had encountered before. It seemed to disregard the rules of the novel, but it wore its unconventionality with ease. Reading it was a pleasure of a new, unexpected kind. Above all, there was its voice, ambivalent, curious, wry, the voice of Jen Fain, a journalist negotiating the fraught landscape of contemporary urban America. Party guests, taxi drivers, brownstone dwellers, professors, journalists, presidents, and debutantes fill these dispatches from the world as Jen finds it. A touchstone over the years for writers as different as David Foster Wallace and Elizabeth Hardwick, Speedboat returns to enthrall a new generation of readers.

There is another world out there, a world of Magic and Demons, a world that I am still learning about. I’m a new Lamiahaem Demon, I wasn’t always like this. Before my change I was a Witch who could read minds. I have recently found out that my sister Taylor and I come from a long line of Witches, it’s in our blood. We have been told it goes back seven generations; maybe even further. We are different from other Witches and Warlocks, we don’t use spells. Taylor and I discovered a lot of information about our family and our childhood. We didn’t remember much, because our Nanna Elsie had played with our memories. She erased memories of a childhood full of Demons that had threatened us. We both know that our grandmother and our parents had all the best intentions, but ever since they did this I’d been having nightmares every night. A lifetime of nightmares, no wonder I was always tired and occasionally a bit irritable. I have three human children, children that have remained with me. They live with their Demon great grandfather, Pops. There not really children, they’re young adults now. They’re all mind readers, Dillon is much stronger, he can ‘hear’ a lot further, James has visions in his sleep and Nikki has started to learn that she has a bit of magic in her as well. They get their abilities from my side, my ex husband had been an average human, just a very violent man. I’m also going to be a grandmother, not something I was very happy about in the beginning. Dillon’s fiancée Kylie is pregnant; she has the ability to calm a room full of angry thoughts. James’s girlfriend Suzanne is also pregnant; Suzanne is able to see the story behind the spoken word. I woke from my second sleep in January, that was just over four months ago, I’m a little different to the rest of our species. Where they all have abilities like tasting relationships, seeing visions or feeling illnesses and injuries, I have kept my magic which was something else that wasn’t normal. To keep my magic strong I need to sleep, this was according to my new father in law Simon. This is because all my magic comes from my mind, and not spells, so I need to be rested and in a good frame of mind. The only mind I could still hear was my husband’s. We also discovered that when I looked in a mirror I would see how one would look if they hadn’t been changed. My mother in law, Julie, is 407 years old it wasn’t a pretty picture, so I no longer looked in mirrors. Looking out of my own eyes though, she looked normal, not a walking skeleton. My new husband is a 134 year old Lamiahaem and is my soul mate. We married 14 months ago after a whirlwind romance. Jack is a mind reader he can hear everybody. He has unofficially adopted my children, changing their names to Carter like ours, they think he is the best and Jack returns the sentiment. Jack has a brother Jonathon who is married to Tania and a sister Charmaine who is married to Tony, they are all Lamiahaem Demons, and they all have different abilities. There is an uncle who is a Vampire, Jones; he is a brilliant loving man, he’s married to my sister Taylor, she’s a human and has recently found her magic. We all live together, it makes for interesting times. To pass the time we like to play practical jokes on each other, brothers versus sisters. At the moment, the sisters are in front. All of my family supports the Guard. The Guards, whose sole purpose is to protect humans, from being indiscriminately eaten or drank by Demons of any kind. We aren’t full time Guard, we are on call, and when they call my family goes without question. The Guard are run by The Elders, Jack’s grandfather Pops, is one of the founding members, and he is still in charge. There are other Demons that are in the Guard. Jorgenhan, that could tell straight away if you were lying or not. Siren’s, who were perfectly stunning women who could make most men do their every bidding, Casanova’s who did the same to w
