London ; New York : Phaidon, 2022

Abstract: Negli ultimi venti anni, il corpus delle opere di Mickalene Thomas si è ampliato fino a includere pittura, collage, fotografia, video e installazioni immersive, diventate ormai suo segno distintivo. Attingendo a molteplici fonti d'ispirazione, che spaziano dalla pittura del XIX secolo alla cultura pop, Thomas dà vita a un potente linguaggio artistico apprezzato dalla critica per la capacità di esprimere un'idea complessa di aspirazioni e visione di sé attraverso genere e razza, ampliando e sovvertendo i canoni di bellezza, sessualità e fama. Realizzato in stretta collaborazione con l'artista, il volume investiga per la prima volta la vastità della sua straordinaria carriera.

Cain's Jawbone A Novel Problem / Ernest Powys Mathers

London : Unbond, 2021

Abstract: 'If James Joyce and Agatha Christie had a literary love child, this would be it' Daily Telegraph 'A unique hybrid of word puzzle and whodunnit' Literary Review Six murders. One hundred pages. Millions of possible combinations... but only one is correct. Can you solve Torquemada's murder mystery? In 1934, the Observer's cryptic crossword compiler, Edward Powys Mathers (aka Torquemada), released a novel that was simultaneously a murder mystery and the most fiendishly difficult literary puzzle ever written. The pages have been printed in an entirely haphazard order, but it is possible - through logic and intelligent reading - to sort the pages into the only correct order, revealing six murder victims and their respective murderers. Only three puzzlers have ever solved the mystery of Cain's Jawbone: do you have what it takes to join their ranks? Please note: this puzzle is extremely difficult and not for the faint-hearted.

Abstract: Galles, 1817. Dopo aver rifiutato ogni proposta di matrimonio che le è stata fatta, Isolde Farrington, Izzy per tutti, viene spedita in Galles dalla zia come punizione, volendo il padre darle un assaggio della vita da zitella, con una misera rendita e nessun membro della servitù ad aiutarla. Quando Izzy arriva, scopre, con sua grande sorpresa, che sua zia Genie è sposata con un uomo di mestiere, chiaramente non approvato dalla famiglia di lei, ma che nonostante la situazione economica persino più limitata di quella di Izzy, vive una vita dignitosa e, soprattutto, soddisfacente e felice, prendendo parte al lavoro del marito. Rhys Williams, si trova in Galles per affari e durante il suo primo incontro con Izzy, questa lo scambia per un servitore. Il nuovo ambiente di Izzy le fa guardare la vita con occhi nuovi e non ci vorrà molto prima che guardi con un nuovo sguardo anche Rhys. Quando suo padre, però, scopre che la situazione in Galles è ben diversa da quella che pensava e che Rhys è nel commercio, si apre un abisso per una coppia che ha imparato ad amarsi oltre ogni diseguaglianza. Riuscirà la differenza di classe a tenerli separati?
