The Cyclist Who Went Out in the Cold: Adventures Riding the Iron Curtain
by Tim MooreTim Moore and a rickety metal steed are back together—riding the entirety of the Iron Curtain, where history, mechanical failures, physical endurance, and humor come together for "the Bill Bryson on two wheels." Not content with tackling the Italian Alps or the route of the Tour de France, Tim Moore sets out to scale a new peak of rash over-ambition: 6,000 mile route of the old Iron Curtain on a tiny-wheeled, two-geared East German shopping bike. Asking for trouble and getting it, Moore sets off from the northernmost Norwegian-Russian border at the Arctic winter’s brutal height, bullying his plucky MIFA 900 through the endless sub-zero desolation of snowbound Finland. Sleeping in bank vaults, imperial palaces and unreconstructed Soviet youth hostels, battling vodka-breathed Russian hostility, Romanian landslides and a diet of dumplings, Moore and his ‘so-small bicycle’ are sustained by the kindness of reindeer farmers and Serbian rock gods, plus a shameful addiction to Magic Man energy drink. Haunted throughout by the border detritus of watchtowers and rusted razor wire, Moore reflects on the curdling of the Communist dream, and the memories of a Cold War generation reared on the fear of apocalypse—at a time of renewed East-West tension. After three months, twenty countries and a fifty-eight degree jaunt up the thermostat, man and bike finally wobble up to a Black Sea beach in Bulgaria, older and wiser, but mainly older.

by Robert RankinJonny Hooker has been picked as a WINNER! and all he has to do to claim his prize is to solve the Da-da-de-da-da Code. Jonny knows that beat; it always turns up in popular music - like 'Waltzing Matilda', or the National Anthem. And it has something to do with the Devil's Chord. And with Robert Johnson (who sold his soul to the Devil), whose blues influenced a generation of musicians. And it definitely has something to do with Elvis, who is still alive and rocking (of course). And with the Secret Parliament of Five, who meet in Gunnersbury Park to dictate world affairs. And when he solves the Da-da-de-da-da Code, Jonny will also discover why all the most famous rock musicians die aged twenty-seven, the truth about raising an ancient god, and the destruction of the world. It's all right there in the music. All Jonny has to do is to crack that code. Before he dies on Monday.

The Daily Don Pandemic Edition: From Impeachment to Imbleachment
by Jesse DuquetteThe NEW Daily Don Pandemic Edition, political cartoon skewers the 45th with brilliant comic satire that covers the (hopefully) final two years of the Trump presidency. With the.daily.don&’s Instagram followers reaching 80,000, Jesse Duquette proves his brilliant cartoon accounts of the brutal Trump administration hit home. It began in the wake of the first Trump press conference that gave us the first &“Alternative Fact&” about inauguration crowd sizes and has continued daily, acting as a bizarre history, illustrating each daily outrage by Donald Trump. Picking up where the first book—The Daily Don: All the News that Fits into Tiny, Tiny Hands—left off, The Daily Don Pandemic Edition takes us from Trump&’s blatant attempt to cover up Russia&’s involvement in the 2016 election to his recommendation that Americans ingest disinfectant to cure coronavirus, and beyond. While Trump continues to shock and horrify on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis, Duquette keeps up with the outrageous sputter that shoots out of the president&’s mouth and perhaps other orifices with scathing satire that&’s both hilarious and, well, sad. This Pandemic Edition pulls together selections from Trump&’s (hopefully) last two-years in office and acts, again, as a semi-accurate record of what these strangest of strange times were like for those of us who were there and lived to tell the tale. Because there is still no better method to record a cartoon presidency than with colored pencils and markers.
The Daily Don: All the News That Fits into Tiny, Tiny Hands
by Jesse DuquetteThe Best of “The Daily Don,” political cartoon that documents all the covfefe of the administration of Donald Trump.The Daily Don is the best of artist Jesse Duquette’s fabulous Instagram gallery of political cartoons relating to the Trump administration. It began in the wake of the first Trump press conference that gave us the weird and unnecessary lie about crowd sizes. Right then, Jesse thought, if this was Day One and the lying was already this casual and obvious, what did this mean for Day 2? or Day 100? He drew his first picture: Sean Spicer delivering his line (“Period.”), added a quote from Orwell’s “1984” that seemed particularly relevant, and posted it to Instagram with the caption that he was going to attempt to document every day of the Administration until the end—a vow that he was maybe 35% serious about. But he has not missed a day and is still going strong. These drawings are the perfect antidote to the cries about “Fake News!” and “Build a Wall!” They help us all stay sane and smile (however nervously) through these strange times. This book pulls together selections from the first nearly-two-years in office—from Muslim bans to Melania jackets and all the beef-tweeting covfefe in between—and acts as a semi-accurate record of what these strangest of strange times were like for those of us who were there and lived to tell the tale. Because what better method to record a cartoon presidency than with colored pencils and markers?

The Dalkey Archive
by Flann O'BrienA fantastical caper—and the final novel—from the acclaimed twentieth-century Irish writer praised as being imbued &“with the true comic spirit&” by James Joyce. No one would think that the end of the world would begin in the small town of Dalkey, twelve miles south of Dublin. Doomsday is the furthest thing from the minds of humble civil servant Mick Shaughnessy and his friend when they come across an injured swimmer near the sea. Helping the man back to his house, they discover their new acquaintance is a theologist and physicist who claims the impossible: not only can he control time, but he&’s developed a chemical compound that eliminates oxygen from the atmosphere. To stop humanity&’s demise, Mick takes matters into his own hands, embarking on an outrageous adventure that has him meeting Saint Augustine in an underwater cave, recruiting a policeman who believes in a &“Mollycule Theory&” that has people turning into bikes and vice versa, and ferreting out the presumed-dead author James Joyce in a nearby resort town. Only time will tell if Mick can save planet earth . . . &“The Dalkey Archive is witty, sly, outrageous, and the characters remind one at times of Nabokov or De Vries.&” —Texture &“The undoubted humor of [The Dalkey Archive] derives as much from Mr. O&’Brien&’s facile use of language as from the play of his fertile imagination. . . . Not to be missed.&” —Library Journal
