One of the most relevant, credible and real voices in South Africa today. The FM's Barney Mthombothi:
"What's lacking in our public discourse is any attempt to explain how power, or the exercise of it, has changed so many of the activists who went into government hoping to use power to better the lot of their people. Instead, power has in fact alienated them from that constituency. How can they continue to speak on behalf of the poor even as they run away from them to live behind boomed gates in the suburbs?"

Ben Okri: Starbook
Booker prize-winning Ben Okri's first novel in five years stands in the grand tradition of myth-making with a vision and voice uniquely its own.

Bestselling author John Connolly's first collection of short fiction, Nocturnes, a dark, daring, utterly haunting anthology of lost lovers and missing children, predatory demons, and vengeful ghosts.Joseph Campbell: The Hero with a Thousand Faces
Campbell's unique perspectives examine the world's complex and interwoven mythology, folklore and religion, providing an understanding of the essence and genesis of humanness.Michael Ondaatje: Anil's Ghost: A Novel
“Gorgeously exotic…. As he did in The English Patient, Mr. Ondaatje is able to commingle anguish and seductiveness in fierce, unexpected ways.”–The New York Times
