In crisi dopo la partenza della collega Valeria, talento prezioso per la stesura d’ogni sua opera, vive smarrito in un’imprecisata città su cui imperversa un bacillo sconosciuto, dando intanto corpo a ricordi e fantasmi. In un’atmosfera sospesa, segnata dal passaggio dei camion del genio militare e delle ambulanze, viene incaricato da due irresistibili ragazze di comporre la storia che salvi non solo la propria, ma tutte le città dall’assedio della “peste nuova”.

Utilizzando le forme del racconto, del saggio, del reportage, Genna esplora il cuore delle città in cui viviamo e di un paese intero, componendo un vertiginoso mosaico del nostro tempo.

Fleeing her moribund marriage in Cape Town, Beth accepts a diplomatic posting to Shanghai.

In Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, Tim McLoughlin draws upon his three-decade career in the criminal justice system with his characteristic wit and his fascination with misfits and malfeasance.

Bombay was the city everyone came to in the early decades of the 19th century: among them, the Goans and the Mangaloreans, looking for safe harbour, livelihood, and a new place to call home. Communities congregated around churches and markets, sharing lord and land with the native East Indians. The young among them were nudged on to the path of marriage, procreation and godliness, though noble intentions were often ambushed by errant love and plain and simple lust. As in the story of Annette and Benji (and Joe) or Michael and Merlyn (and Ellena).

We often appreciate the courage of soldiers of the Indian Army, performing their duties in adverse circumstances, as we sit on the couch in our well-furnished, air conditioned rooms, expressing a slight tint of grief in case of a mishappening. The hot discussions over the matters on television boil our blood for a couple of minutes, but everything becomes normal after a short period of time. This novel reveals the lives of those soliders and their families - how terrorism proved to be fatal in different ways and how humanism reaches the highest peaks.

Traumatized by his reeducation at the hands of his former best friend, and struggling to assimilate into French culture, the Sympathizer finds Paris both seductive and disturbing. As he falls in with a group of left-wing intellectuals he meets at dinner parties given by his French Vietnamese “aunt”, he finds stimulation for his mind but also customers for his narcotic merchandise. But the new life he is making has perils, whether the self-torture of addiction, the authoritarianism of a state locked in a colonial mindset, or the paradox of how to reunite his two closest friends.

Maggie Wilson was only 33, but life in the teeming streets of Walworth was not that easy in 1908 - not if you were a widow with four young daughters. It was pretty much a hand-to-mouth existence, and without the lodger Maggie really wouldn't have managed at all. Constable Harry Bradshaw thought the Wilsons were a gutsy and brave little family.

Ciudad de Dios es, a su vez, producto de un estudio de la antropóloga Alba Zaluar sobre la favela Ciudad de Dios, de donde el autor de esta obra fue su habitante. Asimismo, Lins fue integrante del equipo de investigación de Zaluar.
