Can a name shape the course of a life?In the wake of the 1987 storm, Cora sets off with her 9-year-old daughter Maia to register her son's birth. Her husband Gordon, a local doctor, respected in the community but a terrifying and controlling presence at home, intends for her to follow his family tradition going back generations, and name the child Gordon. But on the journey there, Cora wonders if it's right to impose the burden of this name and its legacy onto her newborn son. She herself has Julian in mind, and Maia offers up her own Bear.What follows are three alternate and alternating versions of her son's life shaped by Cora's last-minute choice of name. Spanning thirty-five years, the novel takes in themes of domestic abuse, the messy ties of family, and the possibilities of autonomy and healing.In prose as precise and intimate as it is thrilling, Knapp draws us in from the very first page, ushering in the tenderness of close family connections, as we follow three unforgettable journeys, each heart-pounding in its own way. With echoes of Life After Life by Kate Atkinson and deep characterisation reminiscent of Ann Patchett and Maggie O'Farrell, Knapp's debut will make you gasp as you root for Cora, Maia and Bear/Julian/Gordon, weighing up which has been the better life, not just for the central character but also for his mother, grandmother, and sister.

From Pitchfork and Guardian contributor Dean Van Nguyen comes a revelatory history of Tupac beyond his musical legend, as a radical son of the Black Panther Party whose political legacy still resonates today.Before his murder at 25, Tupac Shakur rose to staggering artistic heights as the preeminent storyteller of the 90s, building, in the process, one of the most iconic public personas of the last half century. He recorded no fewer than 10 platinum albums, starred in major films, and became an activist and political hero known the world over. In this cultural history, journalist Van Nguyen reckons with Tupac’s coming of age, fame, and cultural capital, and how the political machinations that shaped him as a boy have since buoyed his legacy as a revolutionary following the George Floyd uprising. Words for My Comrades engages—crucially—with the influence of Tupac’s mother, Afeni, whose role in the Black Panther Party and dedication to dismantling American imperialism and police brutality informed Tupac’s art. Tupac’s childhood as a son of the Panthers, coupled with the influence of his step-father’s Marxist beliefs, became his own riveting code of ethics that helped listeners reckon with America’s inherent injustices.Using oral histories from conversations with the people who shaped Tupac’s life and career, many of whom were interviewed for the first time here—from Panther elder Aaron Dixon, to music video director Stephen Ashley Blake, to friends and contemporaries of Tupac’s mother—Van Nguyen demonstrates how Tupac became one of the most enduring musical legends in hip-hop history, and how intimately his name is threaded with the legacy of Black Panther politics.Van Nguyen reveals how Tupac and Afeni each championed the disenfranchised in distinct ways, and how their mother-son bond charts a narrative of the last fifty years of revolutionary Black American politics. Words for My Comrades is the story of how the energy of the Black political movement was subsumed by culture, and how America produced two of its most iconic, enduring revolutionaries.

A jaw-dropping microhistory of the global economy over the last fifty years told through the many lives of a single ship.At 94 meters long and 9,500 deadweight tonnes, once called the Bibby Resolution, is an unremarkable hulk, crossing the oceans unnoticed. And yet, the astonishing journey of this boat can tell us the story of the modern world.First built as a Swedish offshore oil rig in the 1970s, it went on to become a barracks for British soldiers in the Falklands War in the 1980s, a jail off New York in the 1990s, a prison in Portland in the 2000s, and accommodation for Nigerian oil workers off the coast of Africa in the 2010s. It has been called Safe Esperia, HMP The Weare, even 'The Love Boat'. In each of its lives this empty vessel has been commanded by economic forces much larger than itself: private investment, war, mass incarceration, imperial interests, national sovereignty, inflation, booms, busts and greed.Through its encounters with a world of island tax havens, the English court system, exploited labour forces, free banking zones or immigration politics, the ordinary boat at the heart of this story reveals our complex modern economy to us, connecting the dots of a dramatically changing world in the making, and warning us of its dangerous consequences.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Capote’s Women comes an astonishing account of the revolutionary artist Andy Warhol and his scandalous relationships with the ten women he deemed his “superstars”—beginning in 1964 and culminating four years later when Warhol was shot and almost killed.“Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil,” Andy Warhol confessed, “of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them.” Obsessed with celebrity, the silver-wigged artistic icon Andy Warhol created an ever-evolving entourage of stunning women he dubbed his “superstars”—Jane Holzer, Edie Sedgwick, Nico, Ultra Violet, Viva, Brigid Berlin, Ingrid Superstar, International Velvet, Mary Woronov, and Candy Darling. He gave several of them new names and manipulated their beauty and talent for his art and social status, with little concern for their safety or dignity. Then, one after one, he cut them out of his life.In Warhol’s Muses, New York Times bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer shines a spotlight on the complex women who inspired and starred in Warhol’s legendary underground films—The Chelsea Girls, The Nude Restaurant and Blue Movie, among others. Drawn by the siren call of Manhattan life in the sixties, they each left their protected enclaves and ventured to a new world, Warhol’s famed Factory, having no sense that they would never be able to return to their old homes and familiar ways again. Sex was casual, drugs were ubiquitous, parties were wild, and to Warhol, everyone was transient, temporary, and replaceable. It was a dangerous game he played with the women around him, and on a warm June day in 1968, someone entered the Factory and shot him, changing his life, forever. Warhol’s Muses explores the lives of ten endlessly intriguing women, transports us to an era that changed America forever, and uncovers the life and work of one of the most legendary artists of all time.

Más de veinte años después de su separación, Platero y Tú sigue siendo uno de los grupos de rock and roll más añorados y queridos de la escena española. Una leyenda que empezó a forjarse en 1989, cuando Fito Cabrales, Iñaki Antón, JuantxuOlano y Jesús García unieron fuerzas para saltar de los pequeños bares hasta reventar recintos de gran aforo. Fueron una docena años de carrera que se saldaron con un puñado de discos que reflejan su talento y el magnetismo que tenían con el público, creando escuela para las futuras generaciones. Platero y Tú. Yo quiero rock and roll es un viaje apasionante por la trayectoria de una banda que gozó los primeros años al ritmo de una salvaje e incontrolable juventud y terminó con un poso de madurez que derivó en su irremediable final, con Iñaki integrándose en Extremoduro y Fito dando forma a Fito & Fitipaldis. En sus páginas, Javier M. Alcaraz analiza con detalle y fervor cada uno de sus álbumes, poniéndolos en contexto y trazando conexiones que conducen hasta el presente, contando, además, con los testimonios de los cuatro integrantes de Platero y Tú.Este libro, entre el ensayo y la biografía, es una inmersión completa en la historia, ensoñadora y casi novelesca, de cuatro locos que cabalgaron juntos en discos y conciertos, haciendo gala de uno de sus estribillos clásicos: «Es mi vida, es mi sangre, es mi perdición. Es un vicio que huele a rock and roll». El manual perfecto para descubrir por qué la banda continúa sonando como si estuviese viva.

La respuesta de las élites político-económicas y las empresas transnacionales a las múltiples crisis que atravesamos es simple: más alianzas público-privadas e inversiones masivas en digitalización y ''economía verde'', manteniendo constantes las señas de identidad del capitalismo y con la promesa de un horizonte win-win de crecimiento, descarbonización, desmaterialización e igualdad. Este relato verde y digital asfalta la pista de aterrizaje para una generación renovada de megaproyectos corporativos: proyectos mineros y de hidrocarburos, polígonos eólicos y fotovoltaicos, centrales hidroeléctricas y geotérmicas, macrogranjas, fábricas de baterías, centros de datos y grandes infraestructuras. ¿Son estos megaproyectos un fenómeno indispensable? ¿Cuáles son sus impactos? ¿Qué claves alternativas podrían priorizarse? ¿Podrían algunos proyectos de cierta escala y volumen de inversión jugar un papel significativo en la transición a otros modelos? ¿Bajo qué parámetros y condiciones? En torno a estas preguntas se estructura el presente libro. Partiendo del controvertido debate sobre las herramientas a desarrollar, se plantea una crítica a la ''no transición'' que supone la propuesta hegemónica, a la vez que se bosqueja un horizonte y unos criterios para enfrentar el debate sobre el qué, el quién y el cómo hacer para avanzar en una transición ecosocial justa.
