Diamond Hill - Kit Fan - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

''A rapid-fire debut with a cinematographer''s eye for detail... Fan strikes a deft balance between agile set-pieces and lingering beauty.'' Naoise Dolan ''A vivid, powerful portrait of a vanishing world.'' David Nicholls ''Do you know what it was like here? You wouldn''t believe the glamour. We had our own film studio, redbrick houses for the stars, even Jackie Chan. Now look at us - the Hollywood of the Orient will soon be gone altogether.'' 1987, Hong Kong. Trying to outrun his demons, a young man who calls himself Buddha returns to the bustling place of his birth. He moves into a small Buddhist nunnery in the crumbling neighbourhood of Diamond Hill, where planes landing at the nearby airport fly so close overhead that travellers can see into the rooms of those below.As Buddha begins to care for the nuns and their neighbours, this pocket of the old city is vanishing. Even the fiery Iron Nun cannot prevent the frequent landslides that threaten the nunnery she fights for, and in the nearby shanty town, a faded film actress who calls herself Audrey Hepburn is hiding a deep secret and trying to survive with her teenage daughter who has a bigger fish to fry.But no one arrives in Diamond Hill by accident, and Buddha''s ties to this place run deeper than he is willing to admit. Can he make peace with his past and survive in this disappearing city? Beautifully written and utterly compelling, Diamond Hill is a gorgeous love letter that perfectly captures a lost place, filled with unforgettable characters. If you love books by Hanya Yanagihara, Colm Tóibín and Ocean Vuong, you''ll adore this haunting and evocative novel. What people are saying about Diamond Hill : '' The best debut I''ve read in ages ... A glorious luminosity to the writing and the reading experience is rather like looking into a kaleidoscope and giving it several twirls.'' Cathy Rentzenbrink ''A gripping and highly accomplished debut... A thoroughly enjoyable and profound exploration of powerlessness, identity and the evolution of a city.'' Guardian ''Fan is an exuberant chronicler of a lost time and place... It''s a timely consideration of Hong Kong''s recent past.'' The Times ''An exhilarating and original tale, Diamond Hill marks award-winning Fan as a writer to watch.'' Cosmopolitan ''Fan creates a textured, unsettled portrait of a territory facing a decisive ending... The dark drama that unfolds is an elegy to that vanished vanishing world.''

Before We Were Trans - Dr Kit Heyam - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

A History Today Book of the YearFinalist for the Lambda Literary Award ''A beautiful, brilliant, lively book that weaves together fascinating and moving examples with thoughtful analysis. Both heartfelt and rigorous, entertaining and scholarly, Before We Were Trans invites us to expand our sense of communities - past and present - in welcoming ways, rather than contracting them and policing their borders'' MEG-JOHN BARKER, author of Gender: A Graphic Guide ''Celebrates trans history, whilst acknowledging the reality of what it means to live within our community with joy and kindness. In-depth research and personal stories tie Before We Were Trans up into a true treat for the mind'' JAMIE WINDUST, author of In Their Shoes Across the world today, people of all ages are doing fascinating, creative, messy things with gender. These people have a rich history - but one that is often left behind by narratives of trans lives that focus on people with stable, binary, uncomplicated gender identities. As a result, these stories tend to be recent, binary, stereotyped, medicalised and white. Before We Were Trans is a new and different story of gender, that seeks not to be comprehensive or definitive, but - by blending culture, feminism and politics - to widen the scope of what we think of as trans history by telling the stories of people across the globe whose experience of gender has been transgressive, or not characterised by stability or binary categories. Transporting us from Renaissance Venice to seventeenth-century Angola, from Edo Japan to North America, the stories this book tells leave questions and resist conclusions. They are fraught with ambiguity, and defy modern Western terminology and categories - not least the category of ''trans'' itself. But telling them provides a history that reflects the richness of modern trans reality more closely than any previously written. Before We Were Trans is a history and celebration of gender in all its fluidity, ambiguity and complexity.

The New Negotiating Edge - Gavin Kennedy - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

From the bestselling writer on negotation, this is the first book to cover the real-world fundamentals of negotiation. Gavin Kennedy aims to go beyond tough guy tactics to reveal how people actually negotiate. This text is not about what people ought to do, rationally or otherwise - it is about how people really behave and what you can do about it. His thesis is that the two usual modes of negotiating behavior should be blended. The "red style" is the use of manipulative tactics and aggressive ploys, whilst the "blue style" is the antidote to this, suggesting the use of principled negotiation and rational problem solving prescriptions. Kennedy presents his "purple style," which says: "give me some of what I want ("red style") and I will give you some of what you want ("blue style")." "Red" is taking behavior, "blue" is giving behavior, and "purple" is trading behavior. "Purple" behavior deals with people as they are, and not how you assume them to be. It is biased towards how negotiators behave and prefers the evidence of their behavior to affirmations of their good intentions, but it is not a rationale for cynicism. Purple behavior responds to and nurtures reciprocated purple behavior and play strict tit-for-tat behavioral strategies that are open, learnable, certain and "nice." The author sets-out a simplified, 4-phase process of this theory - prepare, debate, propose, and bargain - and applies the behavioral insights gleaned from his vast real-life experience to provide a universal tool-kit for those who negotiate worldwide.
