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 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. A lifetime immersed in New York City feeds short stories that evoke a landscape of characters rife with personal arrogance and misjudgment; and nonfiction essays about toeing the line when the line keeps disappearing.

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.

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.

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.
