Beschreibung

'A chilling exploration of power, love and grief' - JULIA ARMFIELD
'I am in awe of this wonderful book' - EDWARD CAREY
'Terrifyingly brilliant . . . intoxicating and beautiful' - CAMILLA GRUDOVA
Wilhelm von Tore is dying. As he looks back on his life, he reflects on his upbringing in Dresden, his beloved grandmother, and his medical career during the Second World War. But mostly, he remembers his darling Luci, the great love of his life, his dark-haired beauty promised to him in a dream years before they met.
Though only together for a few months in her first life, their love is written in the stars. Using scientific research compiled over decades, Wilhelm ensures that, for him and his beloved, death is only the beginning.
But through the cracks in Wilhelm's story, there is another voice - that of Gabriela, and she will not let this version of events go unchallenged. She tells the story of her sister Luciana, fearless and full of life, and the madman who robbed her from her grave.

    When Juno Browne purchased a car for her lover, Daniel Thorncroft, she was not expecting that the previous owner would lock a dead body in the boot. Who the dead man could be is a persistent question, as is the whereabouts of the seller, Amber Horrell. While Inspector Ford and the Ashburton police are on the case, Juno's insatiable curiosity and concern for the missing Amber lead her to start sleuthing on her own. It turns out that the Horrells, Amber's family, are notorious in this corner of Devon, with an ancient murder and vanishing red diamond in their past and a shady antiques business very much in their present. With a second murder, Juno's involvement in the investigation becomes more complicated and the line between reality and fiction also become blurred. But the truth, she discovers, is far more complicated than it seems.

    After getting fired from her job as a fourth grade teacher, Jane takes on two jobs at once: as a nanny for twin babies and as a sexter for a famous porn star. Soon, Jane is feeding Franny and Zooey with one hand and shooting off ridiculous sexts with the other. At first, she feels it’s like a joke: a lot of her clientele are into scat play or “mystical bestiality.” By the end of her first month on the sexting-nanny jobs, Jane is making significantly more money than she could have ever made as a teacher. She sees a way to move out of her rundown childhood home on the California Central Coast; a way to finally have a nice place of her own. And it feels great—until Jane realizes she isn’t as anonymous as she thought.  
    SEXY LIFE, HELLO teeters between satire and literary thriller. Infused with creepy-gross moments reminiscent of Ottessa Moshfegh and Miranda July, a dark, twisting storyline in the tradition of Patricia Highsmith, and a dry wit uniquely Kicherer, this fascinating debut novella introduces a bold and exciting new voice in contemporary literature.

    Andrea Hoffman is an overeducated, underemployed, and unmotivated recent 
    college graduate until a harrowing robbery blasts her out of her funk and 
    into a job in the finance world of early-1980s Chicago. At first, it seems like a bad fit.  
    But the world of finance has its own weird charm, and she grows increasingly 
    fascinated by the strange language of trading, the complexity of the stock market, 
    and her colleagues, who navigate it all with ruthless confidence. Even though she 
    has two strikes against her - Jewish and female- Andrea’s quick wit 
    and strong work ethic propels her into an actual sales job and her career takes off. 
    But this is the Wall Street of the eighties, and along with making a lot more money, 
    Andrea adopts a new, fast life of cocktails, cocaine, and casual sex. Drunk on her 
    achievements, she gradually realizes, she’s going to have to 
    decide what success really means to her.
