Luke's mum is dead. He finds himself in a small, scruffy northern hill town, with a near silent father, who he fears might be trying to drink himself to death. Then he meets Jon. Jon is massively strange. He wears 1950s clothes, has a side-parting and a twitch. The kids at school call him 'Slackjaw'. When Luke discovers his secret, Jon changes his life in more ways than he can imagine. Luke and Jon is a coming of age novel about family, bereavement and how lives can change forever in a single second. Written with great power, warmth and humour, it signals a hugely engaging and original new voice. Compelling and emotionally acute, it is a unique debut.

Pour ses copains de classe, Luke est un mec bizarre : il vient de perdre sa mère dans un accident de voiture, il a des yeux verts surnaturels, il est super doué pour la peinture. Pour couronner le tout, son père, fabricant de jouets en bois qu’il vend sur les marchés, ne parvient pas à payer les dettes qui s’accumulent depuis la disparition de sa femme. Bientôt, Luke et son père doivent déménager. Ils s’installent loin de chez eux, dans une bâtisse à demi en ruine. Luke et son père se fichent de vivre dans une telle baraque. Le père parce qu’il boit trop depuis qu’il est veuf. Luke parce qu’il n’a que faire d’une maison quand il n’y a pas de maman à l’intérieur pour la remplir de joie et d’amour. Ainsi va l’existence de ces deux êtres en perdition : l’un s’enferme dans son atelier sans produire un seul jouet qui vaille le coup, l’autre explore la campagne alentour, à la recherche de choses à peindre. Puis Jon arrive. C’est leur seul voisin, il a lui aussi treize ans et a aussi perdu sa mère. Et si Luke est bizarre, Jon, lui, est un ovni. Il porte des vêtements de papi des années 50, vit seul avec ses grands-parents qu’on ne voit jamais et a de drôles de goûts : passionné par les faits, seulement les faits, et doté d’une excellente mémoire, il emmagasine des informations en tous genres glanées à la bibliothèque municipale. Évidemment, avec un tel bagage, il est le souffre-douleur de l’école. Aux yeux de Luke, Jon a quelque chose en plus : il aurait plu à sa maman, qui aimait tellement les êtres à part. Quant à Jon, qui sait ce qu’il pense ? Ensemble, les deux adolescents si différents mais pareillement blessés par la vie apprennent très lentement à guérir. Même le père de Luke commence à réagir : il entreprend de construire pièce après pièce la sculpture d’un immense cheval de bois qu’il compte ériger au cœur de la forêt voisine. Pourtant deux terreurs profondes continuent de laminer Luke et Jon. Luke a peur de l’enquête qui doit déterminer si sa mère, maniaco-dépressive, s’est suicidée ou a bien été victime d’un accident. Jon est terrifié à l’idée que les services sociaux découvrent son secret. Un secret que Luke évente par hasard un jour où il va chez Jon. Là, dans des pièces envahies d’ordures où rôdent les rats, végètent les grands-parents de Jon, vieillards séniles abandonnés aux soins de leur petit-fils. L’électrochoc est puissant et vital : face à la détresse de Jon, Luke et son père doivent partir à l’assaut d’une réalité que le deuil avait effacée.

La mamma di Luke è morta. Suo padre costruisce giocattoli. Perlopiù beve. Luke è solo, ha appena cambiato casa, non ha amici. Poi un giorno Jon bussa alla sua porta.

Luke e Jon hanno in comune tutto e niente. Quanto basta per dare il via a un'amicizia improbabile, complicata, vera, capace di tenerli a galla entrambi.

»Das erste Mal begegnete ich Jon an einem Dienstagmorgen um halb acht. Dad trat an der Tür zur Seite, und meine Augen trafen auf das helle Morgenlicht: Selbst in der frühen Morgensonne sah er ungewöhnlich aus. Er trug Großvaterklamotten: braune Schuhe, eine graue Hose und einen dunkelgrünen Wollpullover. Und eine verdammte Krawatte. Sein Seitenscheitel legte eine dünne weiße Linie frei, und jede einzelne Haarsträhne wirkte starr, als wäre sie festgeklebt. Dad hatte uns allein gelassen, und wir standen einfach da und sahen uns an.« Robert Williams Roman Luke und Jon ist ein starkes, souveränes Coming-of-Age-Debüt über eine ungewöhnliche Freundschaft, Verlust und Erwachsenwerden. Prämiert mit dem englischen National Book Tokens Prize, der Buchhändler auszeichnet, die selbst Romane schreiben.

A thrilling and propulsive novel of an Antarctica expedition gone wrong and its far-reaching consequences for the explorers and their families "leaves the reader moved and subtly changed, as if she had become part of the story" (Hilary Mantel). “McGregor’s depiction of speechlessness, both metaphorical and physical, makes the novel much more interesting than if he had provided a page-turner about a botched expedition in Antarctica . . . McGregor’s carefully composed dialogue, filled with the repetition of so few words, had an eerie effect on me: for several days my own inner dialogue was often composed of the same words, as though I, too, was discovering how they could express drastically different emotions yet remain unreadable to the world." —Yiyun Li, New York Review of Books Remember the training: find shelter or make shelter, remain in place, establish contact with other members of the party, keep moving, keep calm. Robert 'Doc' Wright, a veteran of Antarctic surveying, was there on the ice when the worst happened. He holds within him the complete story of that night—but depleted by the disaster, Wright is no longer able to communicate the truth. Instead, in the wake of the catastrophic expedition, he faces the most daunting adventure of his life: learning a whole new way to be in the world. Meanwhile Anna, his wife, must suddenly scramble to navigate the sharp and unexpected contours of life as a caregiver. From the Booker Prize-longlisted, American Academy of Arts & Letters Award-winning author of Reservoir 13, this is a novel every bit as mesmerizing as its setting. Tenderly unraveling different notions of heroism through the rippling effects of one extraordinary expedition on an ordinary family, Lean Fall Stand explores the indomitable human impulse to turn our experiences into stories—even when the words may fail us.

NEXT GENERATION POET 2014Like a toboggan of wolves who have eaten their driver, The Solex Brothers rushes blindly through the forest, drawing on the tropes and archetypes of folk tales, parables, political manifestos, philosophical tracts and grammar. Unlike a toboggan of wolves, The Solex Brothers explores the fate of the individual – albeit a rather feeble individual – and of personal responsibility in a culture of absurd, inexorable forces. Farce navigating towards moral absolution in narratives at once Fauvist and Baroque, expunging the twee with a reformist's remorseless vigour; cherishing its influences with a poststructuralist’s vertical rigour; and, at times, chasing its tail with a schoolboy’s reductive snigger. Like a toboggan of wolves who are beginning to regret having set-upon and eaten their driver, the world of “The Solex Brothers” is funny, sad and irretrievably lost
