    This book argues that during the Cold War modern political imagination was held captive by the split between two visions of universality—freedom in the West versus social justice in the East—and by a culture of secrecy that tied national identity to national security. Examining post- 1945 American and Eastern European interpretive novels in dialogue with each other and with postfoundational democratic theory, The Underside of Politics brings to light the ideas, forces, and circumstances that shattered modernity’s promises (such as secularization, autonomy, and rights) on both sides of the Iron Curtain. In this context, literary fictions by Kundera and Roth, Popescu and Coover, Kiš and DeLillo become global as they reveal the trials of popular sovereignty in the "fog of the Cold War" and trace the elements around which its world discourse or global picture is constructed: the atom bomb, Stalinist show trials, anticommunist propaganda, totalitarian terror, secret military operations, and political targeting

    In this chillingly plausible work of speculative fiction, Thomas M. Disch imagines an alternate 1970s in which America has declared war on the rest of the world and much of its own citizenry and is willing to use any weapon to assure victory. Louis Sacchetti, a poet imprisoned for draft resistance, is delivered to a secret facility called Camp Archimedes, where he is the unwilling witness to the army's conscienceless experiments in “intelligence maximization.” In the experiment, Prisoners are given Pallidine, a drug derived from the syphilis spirochete, and their mental abilities quickly rise to the level of genius. Unfortunately, a side effect of Pallidine is death. In an alternate 1970s, an American political prisoner witnesses army experiments in "intelligence maximization."

    "Nat, a 47 year-old veteran of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, believes his years as an agent runner are over. He is back in London with his wife, the long-suffering Prue. But with the growing threat from Moscow Centre, the office has one more job for him. Nat is to take over The Haven, a defunct substation of London General with a rag-tag band of spies. The only bright light on the team is young Florence, who has her eye on Russia Department and a Ukrainian oligarch with a finger in the Russia pie. Nat is not only a spy, he is a passionate badminton player. His regular Monday evening opponent is half his age: the introspective and solitary Ed. Ed hates Brexit, hates Trump and hates his job at some soulless media agency. And it is Ed, of all unlikely people, who will take Prue, Florence, and Nat himself down the path of political anger that will ensnare them all. Agent Running in the Field is a chilling portrait of our time, now heartbreaking, now darkly humorous, told to us with unflagging tension by the greatest chronicler of our age." --Book jacket

    One out of many -- Tell me who to kill -- In a free state. In a Free State tells the story first of an Indian servant in Washington, who becomes an American citizen but feels displaced. Then of a disturbed Asian West Indian in London who, in jail for murder, has never really known where he is. Then the central novel moves to a fictional African country. There, the central characters have to make the long drive to the safety of their compound. By the end of this drive we know everything about the English characters, the African country and the Idi Amin-like future awaiting it

    Juan Gabriel Vásquez retraces his most intense obsessions: the weight of the past, memory faults, how our lives intersect with the political world. But it is also a novel about the importance of opinion in our societies. In the demanding genre of the novel, which has given so many masterpieces in the Latin American tradition, Vásquez gives us his most intimate work: an intense reflection on the weakness of public and private judgments on irreversible encounters

    "A picaresque experimental novel, An Army of Lovers is the story of Demented Panda and Koki, two friends trying to be political poets in a time when poetry has lost its ability to effect social change. Their collaboration unleashes a torrent of consumerist excess that morphs into a Gitmo-style torture camp. Our heroes struggle to avoid complicity in the spectacle, yet are unable to overcome it through poetry. Instead it invades their bodies, manifesting itself through blisters and other symptoms, as the poets attempt to move beyond this impasse. Absurdist, fantastic, conceptual, Army is a novel for the Occupy generation"--

    "Han pasado 17 meses desde la toma de posesión de Antonio M. Lugo Olea, AMLO, como presidente de todos los mexicanos. 17 meses en los que la desesperanza y la decepción han nublado su gobierno. Sus detractores son cada vez más y el parece haber perdido por completo el control del país. Para empeorar su situación, Trump ha decidido que la hora de un encuentro, frente a frente, en la Casa Blanca, ha llegado. Mariano Everhard, su secretario de Relaciones Exteriores, le deja muy claro que no hay negativa, posible. Con la presión y las amenazas directas de Estados Unidos, en medio de un país sumido en la incertidumbre, con miles de muertos a causa de la pandemia, con millones de empleos perdidos, con decenas de proyectos descartados por su ignorancia, AMLO se da cuenta de que no tiene muchos caminos por delante. Quizá solo uno es posible. ¿Lo tomará? Cuando México perdió la esperanza es la continuación del ejercicio narrativo propuesto por Francisco Martín Moreno en Ladrón de esperanzas. Es la ficción política urgente para los tiempos que corren y en la que cualquier parecido con al realidad no es, para nada, casualidad." -- "17 months have passed since the inauguration of Antonio M. Lugo Olea, as president of all Mexicans. 17 months which hopelessness and disappointment have clouded his rule in. To his detractors, he seems to have completely lost control of the country. To make matters worse, President Trump has decided that the time has come for a face-to-face meeting at the White House. Mariano Everhard, his foreign secretary, makes it very clear that refusal is not possible. With pressure and direct threats from the United States, in the midst of a country mired in uncertainty, with thousands of deaths due to the pandemic, with millions of lost jobs, with dozens of projects discarded due to their ignorance, Antonio M. Lugo Olea realizes that he does not have many options. Maybe only one is possible. Will he take it? "When Mexico Lost Hope" is the continuation of the narrative started in the author's "Ladrón de esperanzas". It is the urgent political fiction for the times and which any resemblance to reality is not, at all, a coincidence in." -- Cataloger's translation of the Spanish synopsis on the cover

    "Romania, 1989. Communist regimes are crumbling across Europe. Seventeen-year-old Cristian Florescu dreams of becoming a writer, but Romanians aren't free to dream; they are bound by rules and force. Amidst the tyrannical dictatorship of Nicolae Ceaușescu in a country governed by isolation and fear, Cristian is blackmailed by the secret police to become an informer. He's left with only two choices: betray everyone and everything he loves--or use his position to creatively undermine the most notoriously evil dictator in Eastern Europe. Cristian risks everything to unmask the truth behind the regime, give voice to fellow Romanians, and expose to the world what is happening in his country. He eagerly joins the revolution to fight for change when the time arrives. But what is the cost of freedom? Master storyteller Ruta Sepetys is back with a historical thriller that examines the little-known history of a nation defined by silence, pain, and the unwavering conviction of the human spirit." --

    THE SECOND THRILLING NOVEL IN VAL MCDERMID'S NEW SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES It's 1989 and Allie Burns is back. Older and maybe wiser, she's running the northern news operation of the Sunday Globe, chafing at losing her role in investigative journalism and at the descent into the gutter of the UK tabloid media. But there's plenty to keep her occupied. The year begins with the memorial service to the victims of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, but Allie has barely filed her copy when she stumbles over a story about HIV/AIDS that will shock her into a major change of direction. The world of newspapers is undergoing a revolution, there's skulduggery in the medical research labs and there are seismic rumblings behind the Iron Curtain. When kidnap and murder are added to this potent mix, Allie is forced to question all her old certainties. Praise for 1979 'McDermid is at her considerable best' GUARDIAN 'Irresistible' PATRICIA CORNWELL 'A brilliant novel by a supremo of the genre' PETER JAMES 'Outstanding' SPECTATOR 'Another masterpiece' DAVID BALDACCI 'Sensational. One of Britain's most accomplished writers' SUNDAY EXPRESS 'A thrilling snapshot of a fascinating era' JANE HARPER 'Allie Burns is off to a flying start, and well worth following' SCOTSMAN 'A brilliant thriller' LINWOOD BARCLAY 'A nail-biting new series' OBSERVER 'Full of wit, thrills and incisive social observation' MICK HERRON 'Her best book in years' THE TIMES

    "Churchill's only novel, Savrola is set in a mythical Mediterranean republic whose despotic President represses his people's calls for constitutional democracy. The title character has been seen as a literary self-portrait, through which Churchill explores his political and ethical principles, combating the allure of communism and the tyranny of authoritarianism. Often dismissed for its literary shortcomings, Savrola nonetheless provides intriguing insights into the young Churchill's philosophy and morality"--Bloomsbury Collections Table of Contents: Chapter 1.

    Cry Wolf is an Animal Farm for the 21st century: a brilliant allegory of the political challenges we face in post-9/11 America. The farm animals' struggle to maintain their way of life against an influx of change is a powerful commentary on the importance of balancing freedom with justice, and on how easily even the best of intentions can destroy a community too caught up with what is “fair" to do what is right. Lake's novel raises questions of in the heart of every devoted citizen: Does political correctness ever trump law? Should safety ever be compromised for the sake of inclusion? Are big government and judicial systems tools to create order, or do they provide chaos?.

    "Offended Sensibilities chronicles a series of sudden deaths that occur among officials of a provincial Russian town. The events in the plot relate to the notorious recent law banning forms of expression that "offend the sensibilities" of religious believers. With this novel, Ganieva moves beyond the setting and themes of her previous writing to address contemporary themes such as nationalism, Orthodox religiosity, sexuality, and political corruption. She handles these weighty issues with a light touch and at times rollicking sense of humor that will keep readers turning the pages. This timely, entertaining, and thought-provoking novel can be read as an allegory for Russia's current political, social, religious, and cultural climate"--
