The Hugo Award–winning author returns to the futuristic, high-tech Middle East setting of When Gravity Falls in this “major science fiction epic” (Locus). In a world filled with so many puppets, strings tend to get tangled. In this follow-up to the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel When Gravity Fails, the Budayeen is still a very dangerous place, a high-tech Arabian ghetto where power and murder go hand in hand. Marid Audran used to be a low-level street hustler, relying on his wits and independence. Now he’s a cop planted in the force by Friedlander Bey, the powerful “godfather” of the Budayeen. Marid is supposed to simply be Bey’s envoy into the police, but as a series of grisly murders piles up—children, prostitutes, a fellow officer—he is drawn deeper and deeper into the city’s chaos. Would Marid give up all his newfound money and power to get out of this mess? Absolutely. If only he could. But answers are never that easy and choices are never completely one’s own in the Budayeen.

The first in a series of small-format publications devoted to single bodies of work, Fire from the Sun highlights Michaël Borremans’s new work, which features toddlers engaged in playful but mysterious acts with sinister overtones and insinuations of violence. Known for his ability to recall classical painting, both through technical mastery and subject matter, Borremans’s depiction of the uncanny, the perhaps secret, the bizarre, often surprises, sometimes disturbs the viewer. In this series of work, children are presented alone or in groups against a studio-like backdrop that negates time and space, while underlining the theatrical atmosphere and artifice that exists throughout Borremans’s recent work. Reminiscent of cherubs in Renaissance paintings, the toddlers appear as allegories of the human condition, their archetypal innocence contrasted with their suggested deviousness. In his accompanying essay, critic and curator Michael Bracewell takes an in-depth look into specific paintings, tackling both the highly charged subject matter and the masterly command of the medium. He writes, “The art of Michaël Borremans seems always to have been predicated on a confluence of enigma, ambiguity, and painterly poetics—accosting beauty with strangeness; making historic Romanticism subjugate to mysterious controlling forces that are neither crudely malevolent nor necessarily benign.” Published on the occasion of Borremans’s eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner in Hong Kong, this publication is available in both English-only and bilingual English/traditional Chinese editions.

Perhaps you know them for their deer dances or for their rich Easter ceremonies, or perhaps only from the writings of anthropologists or of Carlos Castaneda. But now you can come to know the Yaqui Indians in a whole new way. Anita Endrezze, born in California of a Yaqui father and a European mother, has written a multilayered work that interweaves personal, mythical, and historical views of the Yaqui people. Throwing Fire at the Sun, Water at the Moon is a blend of ancient myths, poetry, journal extracts, short stories, and essays that tell her people's story from the early 1500s to the present, and her family's story over the past five generations. Reproductions of Endrezze's paintings add an additional dimension to her story and illuminate it with striking visual imagery. Endrezze has combed history and legend to gather stories of her immediate family and her mythical ancient family, the two converging in the spirit of storytelling. She tells Aztec and Yaqui creation stories, tales of witches and seductresses, with recurring motifs from both Yaqui and Chicano culture. She shows how Christianity has deeply infused Yaqui beliefs, sharing poems about the Flood and stories of a Yaqui Jesus. She re-creates the coming of the Spaniards through the works of such historical personages as AndrŽs PŽrez de Ribas. And finally she tells of those individuals who carry the Yaqui spirit into the present day. People like the Esperanza sisters, her grandmothers, and others balance characters like Coyote Woman and the Virgin of Guadalupe to show that Yaqui women are especially important as carriers of their culture. Greater than the sum of its parts, Endrezze's work is a new kind of family history that features a startling use of language to invoke a people and their past--a time capsule with a female soul. Written to enable her to understand more about her ancestors and to pass this understanding on to her own children, Throwing Fire at the Sun, Water at the Moon helps us gain insight not only into Yaqui culture but into ourselves as well.

Fire from the Sun is a novel in three volumes, covering a very broad canvas. It follows the lives of two people, an opera singer and a mathematician, yoked together by fate from childhood to early middle age. Both are Chinese (though the opera is Italian), and the background of the novel is recent Chinese history, from the Great Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s to the 1989 student movement and its aftermath. The action ranges all over China, from the lush valleys of the southwest to the frozen plains of Manchuria, from elite apartments in Beijing to the garrison settlements of occupied Tibet, from the easygoing corruption of 1970s Hong Kong to the wakening bustle of post-Cultural-Revolution Shanghai. It moves on to the boardrooms of Wall Street, the wealthy enclaves of Fifth Avenue and Long Island’s East End, and the international opera circuit. The two principals, William Leung (born 1957) and Margaret Han (born 1958), are childhood friends in southwest China before the Cultural Revolution. That upheaval tears them apart. Margaret´s family is instrumental in the destruction of William´s, and William is taken to the far northeast to live in poverty and disgrace. The two then pursue separate paths. William, through much hardship and desperation, rises to eventual success on Wall Street. He uses his great wealth to take revenge on Margaret. Margaret, whose father is a senior officer in the Chinese army, grows up in a more sheltered background, eventually making a career as a singer of Italian opera. The two meet again as adults in New York City and are at first drawn together; but the bitterness of the past, and the wrongs they have suffered at each other´s hands, drives them apart again. This cycle of attraction and repulsion is repeated; then they come together in a final, but tragic, reconciliation. Aside from the fates of the two principals, which of course form the book´s main subject matter, two lesser themes are developed. First, there is recent Chinese history, and the nature and direction of the modern Chinese state. Second is Margaret´s career as an opera singer, which is described in detail. Margaret achieves fame as a singer of the bel canto style of Italian opera, and most especially as an interpreter of Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835), who can be heard moving about behind the scenery at several points in the narrative. The book closes with Margaret singing Bellini´s greatest role, Norma, in the opera of that name. A sub-theme here is Margaret´s slow spiritual awakening, via her singing, her relationship with William, and her experiences in the "June 4th movement" at Tian An Men Square. Though the book´s principal characters and their activities are entirely fictional, the underlying chronology is based on real events. Not only the political upheavals of recent Chinese history, but the Wall Street boom of the 1980s and the fates of Michael Milken and Drexel Burnham Lambert are used to drive the plot. Some minor characters are based, more or less approximately, on actual personalities from the worlds of opera, business, politics and popular culture; and a few real people (Bruce Lee, Richard Nixon, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales) have walk-on parts. The book is written as a straightforward third-person narrative in 76 chapters. The tone and presentation of the story are strongly influenced by the author’s interest in classic Chinese novels and poetry...
