  'This dazzling series shows that if the barriers can be vaulted there is true beauty to be had from the lesser-walked streets of literature. These works are both nourishing and inspiring, and a gift to any reader.' —Kerry Hudson
  Written in the winding-down stages of a severe psychotic episode filled with manic delusions, this extraordinary story chronicles Julja's relationship with drugs, family and friends.
  Julja's teenage games take a serious turn as she becomes inducted into a computer cult. The surge of dopamine in her brain connects her with psychic aliens and chemical conspiracies, sordid and secret. On this dark journey of discovery, she pops pills prescribed by Big Pharm and relinquishes all ties to her sanity as she attempts to reach a heaven full of voices and gods.

  Exasperated - A Short Story...

  In this volume we discover that the obvious and the easy are not perhaps as obvious and easy as our authors first present them. 
   
  They play with us.  There is certainty.  Then there is uncertainty.  There is a fact and then seemingly not. 
   
  One thing we can rely on though is that each new twist and turn takes us on a journey of frustration and exasperation that is as enjoyable as it is bewildering. 
   
  And, in the company of the sparkling wits of Chesterton, Aumonier, Barrie and a host of others who summon indignation and vexation as they rile and befuddle us then being exasperated was never quite so much fun.

  Artful

  Ali Smith

  In 2012, Ali Smith delivered the Weidenfeld lectures on European comparative literature at St. Anne’s College, Oxford. Those lectures, presented here, took the shape of discursive stories that refused to be tied down to either fiction or the essay form. Thus, Artful is narrated by a character who is haunted—literally—by a former lover, the writer of a series of lectures about art and literature. A hypnotic dialogue unfolds between storytelling and a meditation on art that encompasses love, grief, memory, and revitalization. Smith’s heady powers as fiction writer harmonize with her keen perceptions as reader and critic to form a living thing that reminds us that art and life are never separate. 
  Artful is a celebration of and meaningful contribution to literature’s enduring worth in the world. There has never been a book quite like it.
