Paperback. Condición: Good. Winner of the 2016 Herralde Prize?I don?t expect anyone to believe me,? warns the narrator of this novel, a Mexican student called Juan Pablo Villalobos. He is about to fly to Barcelona on a scholarship when he?s kidnapped in a bookshop and whisked away by thugs to a basement. The gangsters are threatening his cousin?a wannabe entrepreneur known to some as ?Projects? and to others as ?dickhead??who is gagged and tied to a chair. The thugs say Juan Pablo must work for them. His mission? To make Laia, the daughter of a corrupt politician, fall in love with him. He accepts. . . . though not before the crime boss has forced him at gunpoint into a discussion on the limits of humour in literature. Part campus novel, part gangster thriller, I Don?t Expect Anyone to Believe Me is Villalobos at his best. Exuberantly foul-mouthed and intellectually agile, this hugely entertaining novel finds the light side of difficult subjects?immigration, corruption, family loyalty and love?in a world where the difference between comedy and tragedy depends entirely on who?s telling the joke.Praise for Juan Pablo Villalobos:'Funny, convincing, appalling.a punch-packer.' Ali Smith'Savagely funny.' Lili Wright, New York Times.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Dropout Neville Lister accompanies acclaimed photographer Saul Auerbach for a day, to learn a lesson for life. They play a game: from a hill above Johannesburg they pick three houses and decide to knock on their doors in search of a story. Auerbach?s images of the first two will become classic portraits, but soon the light fades. Lister only reaches the third house decades later, returning to post-apartheid South Africa and a Johannesburg altered almost beyond recognition. How to live when estranged from your birthplace? What do you lose when you are no longer lost? Double Negative is a subtle triptych that captures the ordinary life of Neville Lister during South Africa?s extraordinary revolution. Ivan Vladislavi? lays moments side by side like photographs on a table. He lucidly portrays a city and its many lives through reflections on memory, art and what we should really be looking for.…
