Father's Day Favourites
Father's Day is fast approaching and we thought we'd help out with some guaranteed good reads for your Dad.
The 7th Function of Language is a thought-provoking conspiracy novel by bestselling French author Laurent Binet, whose previous book HHhH is amongst our perennial bestsellers. History, philosophy, literature are all turned on their heads in this inventive novel which features literary theorist Roland Barthes in a playful whothunkit... i mean whodunnit.
White Tears is a novel for the music lover and is also a page-turning thriller. Two students brought together by their love of music are ultimately drawn down a path of greed and self-destruction when they discover and sample an old blues song long forgotten by history. Or so they thought.
The Mirror Thief is a centuries-spanning, genre-bending tale of money and mysticism set in Venice - that is, 16th century Venice, 1960s Venice Beach, California and the modern day Venice Casino in Las Vegas. All three stories contain ambitious plans by men with very little to lose and everything to gain.
A new literary novel from Jock Serong is indeed something to celebrate, so why not celebrate Dad at the same time with On the Java Ridge. This politically charged sea-faring thriller set off Indonesia is a cracking read and we also have signed copies in store now.
Full of swagger, pace and humour this no holds barred memoir is Tex Perkins in all his glory. From his extremely humble beginnings in Brisbane to the glory of his music career, Tex takes the reader on a wild journey from the road and from the edge.
In Father Figures, twenty of Australia's brightest and funniest writers including Sami Shah, Anson Cameron and Benjamin Law share the joys, hazards and mysteries of fatherhood and how we all relate to "Dad".
The Murder of Sonny Liston is both a riveting murder hunt and a stunning portrait of Las Vegas when the mob turned a sleepy desert oasis into a gambling paradise. Liston's death, labelled an overdose, has long hung over Las Vegas and the boxing world, leaving many unanswered questions about his ties to the city's underworld.
"Brunswick Street: Art & Revolution is the story of the street that became a culture".
The blurb on the back of this sprawling, richly illustrated tome says it all. From the characters that inhabited it to the cultural, political and social history that made it a Melbourne institution, this is a great book for anyone who was there or wished they were.
Pallets 3.0 Architecture + Design is a handsome book that shows the variety of possibilities that can emerge from the creative interaction with an inconspicuous everyday article, whether remodelled, reused or recycled.
October: The Story of the Russian Revolution is award winning speculative novelist China Mieville's take on this incredibly vivid period of history. A book for those new to the events, he highlights not only it's historical import but also the passion and drama and strangeness of the period. You can expect a narrative as sweeping as one of Mieville's novels in this breathtaking book.
And don't forget we are happy to giftwrap and have an extensive range of Father's Day cards for you to choose from.
