Antiquities
by Cynthia OzickFrom one of our most preeminent writers, a tale that captures the shifting meanings of the past, and how our experience colors those meanings.Lloyd Wilkinson Petrie, one of the seven elderly trustees of the now defunct (for thirty-four years) Temple Academy for Boys, is preparing a memoir of his days at the school, intertwined with the troubling distractions of present events. As he navigates, with faltering recall, between the subtle anti-Semitism that pervaded the school's ethos and his fascination with his own family's heritage--in particular, his illustrious cousin, the renowned archaeologist Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie--he reconstructs the passions of a childhood encounter with the oddly named Ben-Zion Elefantin, a mystifying older pupil who claims descent from Egypt's Elephantine Island. From this seed emerges one of Cynthia Ozick's most wondrous tales, touched by unsettling irony and the elusive flavor of a Kafka parable, and weaving, in her own distinctive voice, myth and mania, history and illusion.

Antiquity: A Novel
by Hanna JohanssonElegant, slippery, and provocative, Antiquity is a queer Lolita story by prize-winning Swedish author Hanna Johansson—a story of desire, power, obsession, observation, and tabooOn a Greek island rich with ancient beauty, a lonely woman in her thirties upends the relationship between a mother and her teenage daughter. Lust and admiration for Helena, a chic older artist, brings Antiquity&’s unnamed narrator to Ermoupoli, where Helena&’s daughter, Olga, seems at first like an obstacle and a nuisance. But the unpredictable forces of ego and desire take over, leading our narrator down a more dangerous path, and causing the roles of lover and beloved, child and adult, stranger and intimate to become distorted. As the months go by, the fragile web connecting the three women nears rupture, and the ominous consequences of their entanglement loom just beyond a summer that must end.With echoes of Death in Venice, Call Me by Your Name, and The Lover, but wholly original and contemporary, Antiquity probes the depths of memory, beauty, morality, and the narratives that arrange our experience of the world.

Antitauromaquia
by Manuel Vicent El RotoEl escritor Manuel Vicent y el ilustrador El Roto embisten contra una costumbre que despierta pasión y odio por igual en este alegato antitaurino. Esta Antitauromaquia es algo más que una diatriba contra la fiesta nacional. La costumbre primitiva de sacrificar toros en público y convertir esa muerte en una ceremonia moral ha perdido ya toda su estética. La corrida ha quedado solo en un residuo de aquella España negra, zaragatera y triste en la que la crueldad con los animales no se distinguía de la violencia social y política. El espectáculo de la muerte festiva de un toro supone una agresión a la sensibilidad humana. Este es un alegato contra todos los tipos de violencia que se expresan en la fiesta taurina, una liturgia de la tortura que algunos pretenden elevar todavía al rango de cultura porque creen que en España o eres toro o eres matador. Esta Antitauromaquiaes un aviso para que no te toreen. Reseñas:«Su gusto por el detalle no disminuye la contundencia gráfica. Cuando Vicent habla de algo lo ofrece abierto en la mesa de quirófano.»David Trueba, Babelia «El Roto tiene una eterna capacidad de señalar el punto más vulnerable de nuestra sociedad, de acertar siempre con sus demoledoras críticas.»Papel en Blanco

Antkind: A Novel
by Charlie KaufmanThe bold and boundlessly original debut novel from the Oscar®-winning screenwriter of Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Synecdoche, New York.&“A terrific debut novel that makes Gravity&’s Rainbow read like a Dr. Seuss story . . . a masterwork of postmodern storytelling.&”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, neurotic and underappreciated film critic (failed academic, filmmaker, paramour, shoe salesman who sleeps in a sock drawer), stumbles upon a hitherto unseen film made by an enigmatic outsider—a film he&’s convinced will change his career trajectory and rock the world of cinema to its core. His hands on what is possibly the greatest movie ever made—a three-month-long stop-motion masterpiece that took its reclusive auteur ninety years to complete—B. knows that it is his mission to show it to the rest of humanity. The only problem: The film is destroyed, leaving him the sole witness to its inadvertently ephemeral genius. All that&’s left of this work of art is a single frame from which B. must somehow attempt to recall the film that just might be the last great hope of civilization. Thus begins a mind-boggling journey through the hilarious nightmarescape of a psyche as lushly Kafkaesque as it is atrophied by the relentless spew of Twitter. Desperate to impose order on an increasingly nonsensical existence, trapped in a self-imposed prison of aspirational victimhood and degeneratively inclusive language, B. scrambles to re-create the lost masterwork while attempting to keep pace with an ever-fracturing culture of &“likes&” and arbitrary denunciations that are simultaneously his bête noire and his raison d&’être. A searing indictment of the modern world, Antkind is a richly layered meditation on art, time, memory, identity, comedy, and the very nature of existence itself—the grain of truth at the heart of every joke.
