A New York Times bestseller and a "Best Thriller of the Year" Winner of the Goncourt Prize and now an international phenomenon, this dizzying, whip-smart novel blends crime, fantasy, sci-fi, and thriller as it plumbs the mysteries surrounding a Paris-New York flight. Who would we be if we had made different choices? Told that secret, left that relationship, written that book? We all wonder—the passengers of Air France 006 will find out. In their own way, they were all living double lives when they boarded the plane: Blake, a respectable family man who works as a contract killer. Slimboy, a Nigerian pop star who uses his womanizing image to hide that he’s gay. Joanna, a Black American lawyer pressured to play the good old boys’ game to succeed with her Big Pharma client. Victor Miesel, a critically acclaimed yet largely obscure writer suddenly on the precipice of global fame. About to start their descent to JFK, they hit a shockingly violent patch of turbulence, emerging on the other side to a reality both perfectly familiar and utterly strange. As it charts the fallout of this logic-defying event, The Anomaly takes us on a journey from Lagos and Mumbai to the White House and a top-secret hangar. In Hervé Le Tellier’s most ambitious work yet, high literature follows the lead of a bingeable Netflix series, drawing on the best of genre fiction from “chick lit” to mystery, while also playfully critiquing their hallmarks. An ingenious, timely variation on the doppelgänger theme, it taps into the parts of ourselves that elude us most.

The Arab Spring began and ended with Tunisia. In a region beset by brutal repression, humanitarian disasters, and civil war, Tunisia's Jasmine Revolution alone gave way to a peaceful transition to a functioning democracy. Within four short years, Tunisians passed a progressive constitution, held fair parliamentary elections, and ushered in the country's first-ever democratically elected president. But did Tunisia simply avoid the misfortunes that befell its neighbors, or were there particular features that set the country apart and made it a special case? In Tunisia: An Arab Anomaly, Safwan M. Masri explores the factors that have shaped the country's exceptional experience. He traces Tunisia's history of reform in the realms of education, religion, and women's rights, arguing that the seeds for today's relatively liberal and democratic society were planted as far back as the middle of the nineteenth century. Masri argues that Tunisia stands out not as a model that can be replicated in other Arab countries, but rather as an anomaly, as its history of reformism set it on a separate trajectory from the rest of the region. The narrative explores notions of identity, the relationship between Islam and society, and the hegemonic role of religion in shaping educational, social, and political agendas across the Arab region. Based on interviews with dozens of experts, leaders, activists, and ordinary citizens, and a synthesis of a rich body of knowledge, Masri provides a sensitive, often personal, account that is critical for understanding not only Tunisia but also the broader Arab world.

Arkansas, 1943. The Deep South during the heart of Jim Crow-era segregation. A Japanese-American person boards a bus, and immediately is faced with a dilemma. Not white. Not black. Where to sit? By elucidating the experience of interstitial ethnic groups such as Mexican, Asian, and Native Americans—groups that are held to be neither black nor white—Leslie Bow explores how the color line accommodated—or refused to accommodate—“other” ethnicities within a binary racial system. Analyzing pre- and post-1954 American literature, film, autobiography, government documents, ethnography, photographs, and popular culture, Bow investigates the ways in which racially “in-between” people and communities were brought to heel within the South’s prevailing cultural logic, while locating the interstitial as a site of cultural anxiety and negotiation. Spanning the pre- to the post- segregation eras, Partly Colored traces the compelling history of “third race” individuals in the U.S. South, and in the process forces us to contend with the multiracial panorama that constitutes American culture and history.

The United States has a Problem. They call themselves Anomaly. Their supporters call them revolutionaries. The government calls them terrorists. They're American-made and growing fast. And they've made a promise to bring down the U.S. Government. Trevor Cyrus has his own problems as he tries to put some distance between himself and his psychotic criminal bosses. Meanwhile, his former partner Eve has learned of a potential big score and makes an impulsive play for it, but it isn't the sort of thing she'd normally want to profit from. And Jeremy Cyrus, a government-contracted corporate mercenary, has his eye on career advancement, and finding Anomaly's leadership is the key. With more terror on the horizon, these three, with their shared pasts and chaotic presents, will converge around Desmond, the thirteen-year-old subject of a psychological experiment who is only trying to survive after escaping captivity.

Something Is Wrong With Your Reality. You know that gnawing feeling, that feeling that deep down inside things just don't add up. Big government, big business, big religion, and big science all tell you what to believe yet the holes in their stories seem to get bigger everyday. Inside you'll learn how to navigate these holes, or anomalies, as your guide. In his highly anticipated controversial new book 'Anomaly: Revolutionary Knowledge In Everyday Life', renowned polymath Jake Shannon takes a fresh look at our minds and our world, offering a treatise on the fine art of mental self-defense by way of the rhetoric and philosophy of science. This meticulously researched book reveals: * How the combination of the U.S. intelligence community and media conglomerates control our country's flow of information and the truly dangerous consequences * How analogy permeates all levels of our reasoning and how it is used against you * How you can, in fact, be hypnotized against your will and what you can do to prevent it * How the root of the problem of America's health-care can be found in the American Eugenics movement of the early 20th century * How to differentiate between conspiracy theory and conspiracy evidence * How the author predicted the current financial collapse and what will happen next * How some of those at the frontiers of the science and in the intelligence community are taking psychic phenomenon very seriously ...and much more in this mind-altering, life-saving, and ultimately accessible treatise on the philosophy and rhetoric of science.
