An Area of Darkness - V. S. Naipaul - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The first book in V. S. Naipaul’s acclaimed Indian trilogy – with a preface by the author. An Area of Darkness is V. S. Naipaul’s semi-autobiographical account – at once painful and hilarious, but always thoughtful and considered – of his first visit to India, the land of his forebears. He was twenty-nine years old; he stayed for a year. From the moment of his inauspicious arrival in Prohibition-dry Bombay, bearing whisky and cheap brandy, he experienced a cultural estrangement from the subcontinent. It became for him a land of myths, an area of darkness closing up behind him as he travelled . . . The experience was not a pleasant one, but the pain the author suffered was creative rather than numbing, and engendered a masterful work of literature that provides a revelation both of India and of himself: a displaced person who paradoxically possesses a stronger sense of place than almost anyone. ‘His narrative skill is spectacular. One returns with pleasure to the slow hand-in-hand revelations of both India and himself’ – The Times

Freaky Dancin' - Bez - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

''No one has truly and more fully lived the rock lifestyle since The Who''s Keith Moon. This is the most honest, funny, outrageous, drug-fuelled rollercoaster of an autobiography since Howard Marks. A cult classic.'' Mirror This is the story of Bez, the man with the maracas and Shaun Ryder''s sidekick in the Happy Mondays. Bez was the embodiment of the eighties ''Madchester'' scene - when asked by a journalist why he took so may drugs he replied, ''It''s my job.'' Freaky Dancin'' is a rollercoaster ride through the excesses of rock ''n'' roll. It is also the story of how a petty criminal, with no future, got up on stage one night at The Hacienda and found himself famous. ''Bez presents his life as a triumph against the odds, the pills and thrills of a hyperactive kid who couldn''t settle on anything except drugs and petty crime but fronted one of the most important bands of the past ten years.'' The Times ''Bez''s life story reads like that of a man who stole the world, sold it, bought it back on the cheap, and then left it on the back of a written-off jeep somewhere in the Caribbean.'' New Musical Express

The Eye of Jade - Diane Wei Liang - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Mei is a modern, independent Chinese woman. She runs her own business in Beijing, working as a private investigator; she owns a car; she even has that most modern of commodities, a male secretary. One day, ‘Uncle’ Chen - no relation but a close friend of her mother’s - comes to Mei with a case to investigate. He asks her to find the Eye of Jade, a Han dynasty artefact of great value. The Eye of Jade was taken from its museum during the years of the Cultural Revolution when Red Guards swarmed the streets, destroying many remnants of the past. Mei’s investigations reveal a story that has far more to do with the past, and her own family history, than she could ever have expected. This story forces her to delve into that dark part of China’s history, Mao’s labour camps and the countless deaths for which no-one was ever held responsible. It exposes the agonising choices made during the Revolution, to kill or be killed, to love or to live. Eye of Jade is a fascinating glimpse of city life in modern China. Liang captures vividly Beijing’s bustle and noise, from seedy gambling dens and cheap noodle bars to the splendour of the Forbidden City. Through a rich cast of characters including immigrant workers and government officials, she examines the sometimes uneasy relationship between China’s brutal communist past and its increasingly capitalist present.
