Gould's Book of Fish: A Novel in Twelve Fish

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Flanagan, Richard, PUBLISHER: Grove/Atlantic, Published in hardcover to outstanding acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, and winner of the prestigious Commonwealth Writers Prize, Gould's Book of Fish is a marvelously imagined epic of nineteenth-century Australia -- a world of convicts and colonists, thieves and catamites, whose bloody history is recorded in a very unusual taxonomy of fish. Widely hailed as a masterpiece and a work of genius, it stands out as one of the best novels of recent years. Billy Gould was a forger and thief sentenced to life imprisonment in a penal colony in Van Diemen's Land -- now Tasmania. After six months he escaped and boarded a whaler for the Americas, but before long his adventures landed him back in prison. The prison doctor Lempriere utilizes Gould's painting talents to create an illustrated taxonomy of the country's exotic sea creatures, which Lempriere madly believes will assure his place in history and the Royal Society. Lost and re-created, destroyed and hidden, Gould's book finally resurfaces in the present day littered with scrawls recording his unutterably strange life -- part freewheeling picaresque, part tragicomedy -- and that of his country, a penal colony, settlement, and magical space populated by generals, visionaries, and madmen. Gould's Book of Fish is a tour de force that questions the reliability of history and science, and the substance of artistic creation. Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times called it "a huge, phantasmagorical work that combines magical realism, Joycean language, and Melvillian intonations to examine the legacy of colonialism through the story of a nineteenth-century forger.... It] turns out to be as inventive and visionary in its reimagination ofhistory as Toni] Morrison's masterwork, Beloved."

Guerrilla Nation: My Wars In and Out of Vietnam

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Maclear, Michael, PUBLISHER: Dundurn Group Ltd, In September , Michael Maclear, the first Western television journalist allowed inside North Vietnam, was in Hanoi for CBC-TV when Ho Chi Minh died. He recounted in gripping detail how an entire population had been trained for generations in guerrilla combat. His reporting was highly controversial and led to interference by the RCMP and the U.S. Pentagon. Later Maclear was taken blindfolded to a Hanoi prison for captive U.S. pilots, some of whom condemned the war. President Richard Nixon described the journalist as "duped." At odds with a nervous CBC, Maclear was dismissed as foreign correspondent and then resigned from the network. Recently, Maclear returned to Vietnam and interviewed surviving key figures from the war. In this book he includes startling new information on guerrilla tactics and delivers an impassioned argument for the necessity of journalistic impartiality and integrity that those who care about such things can't afford to miss.
