  The Ugliest Dog In The World

  The Wickman family move to Paris from London, following a fortuitous and perfectly timed offer from an eccentric stranger. Once there, their extraordinary run of good luck continues, until Fifi arrives in their lives. Fifi is smelly, unhygienic, antisocial and without doubt, the ugliest dog in the world. The only person able to love the dog is her indulgent and saintly neighbour, Madame Mal-Odour (who curiously lost her sense of smell in a freak accident during a thunder storm in 1953). 
  Jamie Wickman just wants a quiet life and would secretly love to be a train driver. His daughter wants to be left in peace to run her black-market in blue sweets, with her friend Maria. However, Susie Wickman has set her sights on becoming an integral part of the social hierarchy of Paris’ elite. It seems that only her dog and neighbour stand between her and a free pass into the wonderful world of Countess di Zlexia’s inner circle. 
  She plans to do away with them both, until a series of unexpected incidents reveal something about her dog, neighbour and family that drastically change her priorities. These lead to a meeting with Professor Keren de Communeté which gives her something more urgent to consider than a life-time providing calorie-free nibbles to surgically-enhanced faces.

  A young writer-to-be embarks on a comic coming-of-age journey through the crushing mediocrity of work, the vagaries of fate, and the mysteries of sexA confused and conflicted but not altogether angry young man shares his observations, disappointments, rants, and sexual desires in a revealing series of letters to an unnamed friend. Our hero wants to be a writer, but is stuck doing mind-numbing work for an unscrupulous encyclopedia publisher. He muddles through two engagements, one to a bright-eyed Catholic virgin, the other to a woman pregnant with another man’s child. And the Great American Novel he is writing—about a man named Austin who is becoming invisible—may be a bit too much for the reading public to handle. But as long as he’s got his friends (like Jose, who is determined to bed and wed his cousin Rita the nun), his health (no thanks to the medical establishment that killed his father), and his libido, everything should turn out okay.Winner of the William Faulkner Foundation Award for notable first novel—more outrageous than Catcher in the Rye and more scandalous than Portnoy’s Complaint—Charles Simmons’s Powdered Eggs is an unforgettable view of young American life through an amusingly jaundiced eye.

  An honorable, aspiring attorney’s dream job becomes a dishonorable nightmare in this “funny and charming” debut (Gary Shteyngart, author of Lake Success).   Sheila Raj is a recent graduate of Columbia Law School with high aspirations of working for the ACLU. When she lands a coveted year-long federal clerkship with legal goddess Judge Helga Friedman, she cannot help but think that her life is destined for jurisprudential greatness. But law school did not prepare Sheila for the sociopath who greets her on her first day, and pushes her to the brink of resignation. It’s only when she’s assigned to a high-profile death penalty case that Sheila realizes that to survive the year as Friedman’s chambermaid—not just her sanity, but actual lives will hang in the balance. Because Prada be damned, “the devil really wears a black robe” (Jill Kargman, author of Momzillas).   “In the world of the federal judiciary, where judges are sacrosanct and impervious to criticism, Saira Rao’s deliciously controversial debut novel ranks with mooning the Supreme Court” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Delivering an outrageous peek into hallowed halls, the “laugh out loud . . . Chambermaid is sure to strike a familiar chord for anyone who’s ever had a jerk for a boss” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
