Book excerpt: Julius Winsome, ki sam s psom živi v odročni koči sredi gozda, spominja na pusto zimsko pokrajino okrog sebe: odmaknjeno, izpraznjeno, zagonetno. Ko lovci ubijejo njegovega psa Hobbesa, z neprevidnostjo - ali morda brezsrčnostjo? - nesluteno razburkajo Juliusovo nestalno nrav. Izguba ga odpahne v samost, ki se potlej preobrazi v otožje, maščevalnost in (nekoč) nasilje. Navidez suh jezik mojstrsko (iz)pisanega romana strga z grenkega dna. Pisateljeva nit previdno podrhteva - mikavno čudaška senzibilnost in le težko oprijemljiva sestavina vznemirjene duševnosti gradita dih jemajočo atmosfero.

Book excerpt: Best-selling books such as Freakonomics and The Undercover Economist have paved the way for the flourishing economics-made-fun genre. While books like these present economics as a strong and explanatory science, the ongoing economic crisis has exposed the shortcomings of economics to the general public. In the face of this crisis, many people, including well-known economists such as Paul Krugman, have started to express their doubts about whether economics is a success as a science. As well as academic papers, newspaper columns with a large audience have discussed the failure of economic to predict and explain ongoing trends. The emerging picture is somewhat confusing: economics-made-fun books present economics as a method of thinking that can successfully explain everyday and "freaky" phenomena. On the other hand, however, economics seems to fail in addressing and explaining the most pressing matters related to the field of economics itself. This book explores the confusion created by this contradictory picture of economics. Could a science that cannot answer its own core questions really be used to explain the logic of everyday life? This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Economic Methodology.

From Azerbaijan to Bavaria, passing through Moscow and Portugal, Sapin tags along on a wild ride, creating a faithful portrait of a man full of contradictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: »Winter in Maine: Das Buch des Jahres – ein meisterhafter Roman.« Aus der Begründung der Jury zum Buch des Jahres 2008 Der Winter in den Wäldern von Maine ist kalt und einsam. Bisher hat das Julius Winsome nicht gestört, er lebt schon lange allein, und er hat einen treuen Gefährten, seinen Pitbullterrier Hobbes. Als sein Hund eines Nachmittags offenbar absichtlich erschossen wird, bricht Julius’ Welt zusammen. Und er fasst einen erschreckenden Entschluss ... Julius Winsome lebt zurückgezogen in einer Jagdhütte in den Wäldern von Maine. Der Winter steht vor der Tür, er ist allein, aber er hat die über dreitausend Bücher seines Vaters zur Gesellschaft und vor allem seinen Hund Hobbes, ein treuer und verspielter Pitbullterrier. Eines Nachmittags, als er gerade vor dem Feuer sitzt und liest, hört er einen Schuss. Eigentlich nichts Besonderes, denn es ist gerade Jagdsaison. Dennoch wundert sich Winsome, weil der Schuss ganz in seiner Nähe gefallen ist, zu nahe. Als er vor die Tür geht, entdeckt er, dass Hobbes erschossen wurde – offenbar mit Absicht. Der Verlust trifft Julius mit ungeahnter Wucht. Er denkt an all die anderen Verluste in seinem Leben: die Mutter, die er gar nicht kannte, weil sie bei seiner Geburt starb, den Vater, der nie wieder heiratete, der ihn allein großzog und ihm die Sprache Shakespeares beibrachte und jetzt auch schon zwanzig Jahre nicht mehr da ist, an Claire, die einzige Frau in seinem Leben, die ihn einen Sommer lang liebte und dann wieder verschwand. Und jetzt Hobbes, sein letzter wahrer Freund. Am nächsten Tag holt er das Gewehr seines Großvaters aus der Scheune und zieht los, um seinen Hund zu rächen. Er macht Jagd auf die Jäger. Und obwohl diese Rache ebenso sinnlos ist wie die Tat, die ihr zugrundeliegt, verstehen wir diesen einsamen, verzweifelten Mörder, werden seine Komplizen in Eis und Schnee.

Book excerpt: When Jessica’s partner disappears into the dark Tasmanian forest, there is of course the mystery of what happened to him—the deserted car, the enigmatic final image recorded on his phone. There is the strange circle of local women, widows of disappeared men, with their edgy fellowship and unhinged theories. And the forest itself: looming hugely over this tiny settlement on the remote tip of the island. But for Jessica there is also the tight community in which she is still a stranger and Matthew was not. What secrets do they know about her own life, that she doesn’t. And why do they believe things that should not—cannot—be true. For her own sanity, Jessica needs to know two things. Who was Matthew? And who—or what—has he become? Krissy Kneen is the award-winning author of memoir—Affection—and fiction: An Uncertain Grace, Steeplechase, Triptych, The Adventures of Holly White and the Incredible Sex Machine, as well as the Thomas Shapcott Award-winning poetry collection Eating My Grandmother. She has written and directed broadcast documentaries for SBS and ABC Television. ‘At once a supernatural thriller and a sharp meditation on the legacy abusive men leave behind.’ Readings ‘Kneen’s writing, by turns playful and elegant, is never less than stimulating, in the literal and figurative senses of the word.’ Stella Prize 2017 Judges’ Report ‘Endlessly curious and inventive, provocative and inspiring.’ Sydney Morning Herald ‘[A] taut new novel...Wintering uses [a] closed community to examine some disturbing aspects of Australian culture: parochialism, machismo, an unwillingness to face up to the past...Kneen also finds room for strength and kindness in this sleek and gripping novel.’ Australian ‘This book is a surprise, [with] drama and twists that leave you exhilarated...Kneen has jumped, unafraid, into many shades of rough territory.’ Courier Mail ‘Thought-provoking...satisfying and compelling.’ Herald Sun ‘One of Australia’s hidden literary gems. With each new book, I find myself hoping that readers will finally discover her quirky, sexy and incredibly beautiful writing.’ Books+Publishing ‘Highly unusual, very ambitious...but I think Krissy Kneen achieves it.’ Radio New Zealand
