Sinopsis

THE SELLOUT meets INTERIOR CHINATOWN in this satirical debut about race, sexuality and truth. German-Polish-Indian student Nivedita's world is upended when she discovers that her beloved professor who passed for Indian was born white.

Nivedita (a.k.a. Identitti), a doctoral student who blogs about race with the help of Hindu goddess Kali, is in awe of Saraswati, her outrageous superstar post-colonial and race studies
tutor. But Nivedita's life and sense of self begin to unravel when it emerges that Saraswati is actually white. Hours before she learns the truth Nivedita praises her tutor in a radio interview, jeopardising her own reputation and igniting an angry backlash among her peers and online community.

Dumped by her boyfriend and disowned by her friends in the uproar, Nivedita is drawn to her supervisor in search of answers not only about Saraswati's identity, but also around her own.

In her thought-provoking, complex and genre-bending debut, Mithu Sanyal collages
commentary from real-life intellectuals, blogs, articles, race theory and academic warfare, combining campus novel and coming-of-age drama. A darkly comedic tour de force astutely translated by Alta L. Price, Identitti showcases the outsized power of social media in the current debates around identity politics and the power of claiming your own voice.

    Cup of Gold - A Life of Henry...

    “There was no desire in him for a state or condition, no picture in his mind of the thing to be when he had followed his longing; but only a burning and a will overpowering to journey outward and outward after the earliest risen star.”  
    John Steinbeck’s first novel, and his only work of historical fiction, is loosely inspired by Sir Henry Morgan, the infamous pirate of the 1650s and 60s. Captain Morgan was a legendary and notorious man who struck terror into the hearts of men, in service of his personal ambitions. He has become obsessed with two thoughts: the beautiful and mysterious woman known as La Santa Roja, and to conquer Panama City (the titular Cup of Gold) away from Spain. 
    Unique in Steinbeck’s oeuvre, this swashbuckling tale is both a historical and fantastical retelling of the life of this legendary Welsh pirate.  
    Featuring an introduction written and read by Stefan Rudnicki

    When reality fractures, ordinary lives spiral into uncanny horror in this anthology of glitch-in-the-matrix tales.
     
    Designed for the quiet dread of late-night listening, these accounts expose the terrifying porosity of our world. If you have ever felt truly alone in a new apartment or experienced a moment of déjà vu that felt like a warning, this collection speaks directly to that primal paranoia.
     
    Move beyond traditional hauntings into a landscape of high strangeness where time doubles back and domestic safety dissolves. These narratives focus on the human response to the inexplicable—the isolation of seeing something reality refuses to acknowledge.
     
    What you will encounter in the dark:
    
    Systemic Glitches: Experience fractures in time, phantom phone calls, and media that refuses to stay fixed.
    Cosmic Dread: Discover a presence that persists across decades, suggesting our lives are being observed or corrected.
    Interactive Mystery: Navigate a curated experience where one story belongs to the narrator, blurring the line between fiction and confession.
    
     
    A shadowed figure guides you through these ten encounters, acting as both curator and participant. Their eventual revelation challenges the safety of the listener, transforming the audiobook from a set of eerie anecdotes into a meditation on fate and surveillance.
     
    Prepare to question whether the pattern is in the recording, or currently unfolding in the room with you.

    With her newfound human friends in danger and the community on edge, Claudia races against time to prevent more deaths. But in a town where everyone has secrets, who can she really trust?
