'Magnificent . . . Lauren Groff is a virtuoso' Emily St John Mandel 'A blistering collection . . . lyrical and oblique' Guardian 'Not to be missed . . . deep and dark and resonant' Ann Patchett 'It's beautiful. It's giving me rich, grand nightmares' Observer In these vigorous stories, Lauren Groff brings her electric storytelling to a world in which storms, snakes and sinkholes lurk at the edge of everyday life, but the greater threats are of a human, emotional and psychological nature. Among those navigating it all are a resourceful pair of abandoned sisters; a lonely boy, grown up; a restless, childless couple; a searching, homeless woman; and an unforgettable conflicted wife and mother. Florida is an exploration of the connections behind human pleasure and pain, hope and despair, love and fury. 'Innovative and terrifyingly relevant. Any one of these stories is a bracing read; together they form a masterpiece' Stylist 'Lushly evocative . . . mesmerising . . . a writer whose turn of phrase can stop you on your tracks' Financial Times

Round Two from the amazing life and times of legendary South Florida attorney Lewis Ress takes readers from Brooklyn in the 1940s via a spell in a top-secret Army Department (and a transatlantic solo flight in a replica Spirit of St Louis) to adventures in and out of the courtroom in a sometimes rougher-than-ready Fifties and Sixties Miami. Fans of Strange Cases and Wild Tales will need no introduction to the author's brilliant and fast-paced story telling laced with salty evocations of the human carnival of the era and shot through with compassionate insight. From a failed campaign for Congress (he lost to the local machine, much to his wife's relief) to the brief but memorable career of Herbie the Chiropractor; from advising the heir to Colonel Sanders (and falling out with Buddy Hackett) to night-time jogging with Vitas Gerulaitis, the stories keep on coming. Larry, the charismatic wheeler-dealer from the last book, needs to be rescued from yet another risky deal. A bridge-playing mobster needs help to find his missing daughter? All this and more, along with sage advice against buying a lottery ticket-you might win. Welcome to Round Two!

In this one-of-a-kind volume, Iraida López explores various narratives of return by those who left Cuba as children or adolescents. Including memoirs, semi-autobiographical fiction, and visual arts, many of these accounts feature a physical arrival on the island while others depict a metaphorical or vicarious experience by means of fictional characters or childhood reminiscences. As two-way migration increases in the post-Cold War period, many of these narratives put to the test the boundaries of national identity. Through a critical reading of works by Cuban American artists and writers like María Brito, Ruth Behar, Carlos Eire, Cristina García, Ana Mendieta, Gustavo Pérez Firmat, Ernesto Pujol, Achy Obejas, and Ana Menéndez, López highlights the affective ties as well as the tensions underlying the relationship between returning subjects and their native country. Impossible Returns also looks at how Cubans still living on the island depict returning émigrés in their own narratives, addressing works by Jesús Díaz, Humberto Solás, Carlos Acosta, Nancy Alonso, Leonardo Padura, and others. Blurring the lines between disciplines and geographic borders, this book underscores the centrality of Cuba for its diaspora and bears implications for other countries with widespread populations in exile.
