.On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert, gunmen stormed his house, machine guns blazing. The attack nearly killed the Reggae superstar, his wife, and his manager, and injured several others. Marley would go on to perform at the free concert on December 5, but he left the country the next day, not to return for two years.

Deftly spanning decades and continents and peopled with a wide range of characters-assassins, journalists, drug dealers, and even ghosts-A Brief History of Seven Killings is the fictional exploration of that dangerous and unstable time and its bloody aftermath, from the streets and slums of Kingston in the 70s, to the crack wars in 80s New York, to a radically altered Jamaica in the 90s.

The Booker Prize 2023 Winner

On a dark, wet evening in Dublin, scientist and mother-of-four Eilish Stack answers her front door to find two officers from Ireland's newly formed secret police on her step.

They have arrived to interrogate her husband, a trade unionist.

Ireland is falling apart, caught in the grip of a government turning toward tyranny.

As the life she knows and the ones she loves disappear before her eyes, Eilish must contend with the dystopian logic of her new, unraveling country.

How far will she go to save her family? And what-or who-is she willing to leave behind?

This book is surprising and illuminating battle between children books' writer Andy Stanton and ChatGPT that maybe, just maybe, might help us all understand AI a little bit better.

Join Andy and his beleaguered AI lackey on a rollicking metafictional journey through the art of storytelling.

Presenting his prompts and the AI-generated narrative alongside extensive commentary, Stanton provides a startling paean to the art of a good story and boundless human creativity.

Hopeful and hilarious, "Benny the Blue Whale" provides a joyfully anarchic meditation on AI, literature and why we write.

The haunting story of two men stranded at sea pushing against their physical and mental limits to stay alive.

Ambitious and profoundly moving, Beyond the Sea explores what it means to be a man, a friend, and a sinner in a fallen world. With evocative prose, Lynch crafts a suspenseful drama that refuses sentimentality or easy answers. Instead, "Beyond the Sea" is a hard-won and intimate rendering of the extremities of human life, both physical and mental.
