  One ordinary day. A thousand unspoken thoughts. A life measured in moments.
  As Clarissa Dalloway prepares for an evening party in postwar London, her mind drifts through memories of love, youth, regret, and possibility. Interwoven with her story is that of Septimus Smith, a haunted war veteran whose inner struggles mirror the fragile pulse of the modern world. Through flowing consciousness and poetic insight, Woolf captures the quiet drama of being alive.
  
  Celebrated as "one of the great masterpieces of modern literature," Mrs Dalloway transforms a single day into a profound exploration of identity, time, and human connection. Its beauty lies in the thoughts we rarely speak and the emotions that shape us unseen.
  
  If you love introspective storytelling, lyrical prose, and novels that linger in the mind, this timeless work will deeply move you.
  
  Open the book—and step into a day that contains an entire lifetime.

  CBC BOOKS: 2024 SPRING FICTION PREVIEW
  		 
  A queer writer travelling through India can’t escape the regrets of his past, nor the impending ruin of his present.
  		 
  ”I am leaving for the winter – I have to get away from this small town and all its dangers – to write, read, think, all the most important things in the world but which are thought the least important, the most expendable.”
  		 
  Thus begins the Indian winter of our narrator, a queer writer and translator much like the author, a winter that includes a meandering journey through India, trying to write about a long-ago lover whose death he has just learned of. While on this journey into memory, he flees his current faltering relationship in search of new friendships and intimacies. Inspired by Antonio Tabucchi's Indian Nocturne, and by the writings of Anaïs Nin, Rachel Cusk, and Carole Maso, among others, Indian Winter finds itself where the travel diary, the künstlerroman, poetry, and autofiction meet. But the heartbreak brought on by his unravelling relationship and his family’s inability to accept his queerness cannot be outrun; as he traverses India, our narrator can’t help but repeatedly encounter himself and the range of love and alienation he has within.

  The Covid Murders is a medical thriller that also explores what is wrong with American health care and how to fix it. The second in The Irv Tinsley Health Policy Detective series picks up where the acclaimed The Theory of Irv: An American Health Policy Detective Story left off.  
  The Covid Murders begins with a dead body: an unfortunate patient who dies on an operating room table in a suburban Nashville, Tennessee hospital. Thomas Baker’s open-heart surgery goes wrong, unleashing forces inside the hospital and out that threaten the public’s health.  It matters that Thomas Baker is a “very important person” in the community. 
  Our story’s central hero, Irv Tinsley, is brought into the investigation of Baker’s death through his friendship with the Hospital's new administrator.  Their investigation soon encounters big problems, including questions about other suspicious deaths at the Hospital.  Could they all be explained by Covid?  Or were these just the result of medical errors? Or is there a systematic care problem at play that threatens future patients? Or could it be something even worse? 
  The quest for truth also runs into political complications of the highest order, not just in Nashville but Washington, D.C.  The future of American health policy confronts our heroes! You may come away from this read believing that we are on the path of destruction, that is if we don’t assert control over the health care system and the politics that surround it.   
  Readers will discover an entertaining way to access the complex issues of American health policy and politics through this cross over genre that adds these important health policy questions to the traditional medical thriller genre. Listen today!

  Well known current affairs investigator David Chase nick-named 'the axe' from popular segment  
  'Cut to the Chase' has been on the tail of a murderer who was released from jail after killing a  
  man but who claims he was a wolf man at the time. A good old fashioned right-wing 'moral  
  outrage sensationalist' field-operative, Chase doesn't like what he sees happening to the news  
  world around him - especially at his long-standing conservative TV Network, CNT (we missed 'u') , which, under the spinning eye of Veronica Fox, is reverting to myth making, 'false facts' and disinformation.  
  Chase feels his expiration date is closing in as he tries to keep traditional gutsy tabloid antics  
  front and center. He gets his chance to bribe Ted Victor the self-alleged 'wolf man of Wirrawee'  
  in for a live interview... and to show real guts - on the crest of a full moon. Veronica Fox can't  
  help but get her magic wand spinning and tries molding it all for the alt-right, while Chase  
  desperately clings onto his authority as a 'common sense' conservative reporter. The world  
  comes to a standstill as Ted and Chase go face-to-face in an event billed as the next tabloid  
  'Frost versus Nixon' - left activists surround the building and the recipe is set for an outlandish  
  denouement...

  Singa-Pura-Pura - Malay...

  From a future of electronic doas and AI psychotherapists, sense-activated communion with forests and a portal to realms undersea, to a reimagined origin and afterlife—editor and translator Nazry Bahrawi brings together an exciting selection of never-before translated and new Malay spec-fic stories by established and emerging writers from Singapore.  
   
   
  Especially in an anglophone-dominated genre, very little of Malay speculative fiction from Singapore is known to readers here and beyond. Yet contemporary Bahasa literature here is steeped in spec-fic writing that can account as a literary movement (aliran)—and unmistakably draws from the minority Malay experience in a city obsessed with progress.
