Роман «Серапионовы братья» знаменитого немецкого писателя-романтика Э.Т.А. Гофмана (1776–1822) — цикл повествований, объединенный обрамляющей историей молодых литераторов — Серапионовых братьев. Невероятные события, вампиры, некроманты, загадочные красавицы оживают на страницах книги, которая вот уже более 70-и лет полностью не издавалась в русском переводе.
Набросок с натуры об эстетах из чайного общества и пристрастном одобрении.
Подул в Союзе ветер перемен!
Или предательства тот ветер и измен?
Под лозунгами «Гласность! Ускоренье!»
Вдруг проявились первые волненья.
И «перестройка» вышла боком,
Народ засунув в *опу ненароком!
Страну разворовали и продали,
Американцам с нефтью шельф отдали.
Народ свой кинули на деньги,
В три дня без всяких там сомнений…
А что герой наш? Он в пучину
Залезть, конечно, в эту не преминул!

Леонид Ицелев: Все началось в 1980 году. Читая исследование американского историка Джона Толанда о Гитлере, я обнаружил, что Гитлер и Ленин жили в Мюнхене на одной и той же улице — Шляйсхаймер штрассе. Правда, с перерывом в 11 лет. И тут же в процессе чтения книги у меня возникла идея организовать их встречу в жанре пьесы.

Каждая буква в алфавите — это расследование на конкретную тему от известного циника… Адюльтер, Девственность, Евангелие, Порноэротика, Яйца… Ангелов просто завораживает фирменной манерой письма, неистощимой фантазией, сотнями парадоксальных афоризмов, десятками взаимоисключающих абзацев, провокационными выкладками в сторону всех и вся.

Showing that truth is stranger than fiction, Sylvain Neuvel’s A History of What Comes Next weaves a sci-fi thriller that blends a fast moving, darkly satirical look at 1930s rocketry with the amorality of progress, and the nature of violence.
Always run, never fight.
Preserve the knowledge.
Survive at all cost.
Take them to the stars.
Over 99 identical generations, Mia’s family has shaped human history to push them to the stars, making brutal, wrenching choices and sacrificing countless lives. Her turn comes at the dawn of the age of rocketry. Her mission: to lure Wernher Von Braun away from the Nazi party and into the American rocket program, and secure the future of the space race.
But Mia’s family is not the only group pushing the levers of history: an even more ruthless enemy lurks behind the scenes.
A darkly satirical first contact thriller, as seen through the eyes of the women who make progress possible and the men who are determined to stop them…

An ingenious novel about art and revenge, insisting on your dreams and hitting on your doctor, told in the form of 80 movie reviews
In near-future America, film critic Noah Body uploads his reviews to an underread content aggregator. His job is dreary routine: watch, seethe, pan. He dreams of making his own film, free of the hackery of commercial cinema. Faced with writing on lousy movies for a website that no one reads, Noah smuggles into his reviews depictions of his troubled life on the margins.
Amid his movie reviews, we learn that his apartment in the vintage slum of Miniature Aleppo has been stripped of furniture after his wife ran off with his best friend—who Noah believes has possessed his body. He’s in the middle of an escalating grudge match against a vending machine tycoon with a penchant for violence. And he’s infatuated with a doctor who has diagnosed him with a “disease of thought.” Exhausted by days spent watching flicks featuring monks with a passion for rock and roll and slashers featuring rampaging hairdressers, Noah is determined to create his own masterpiece: a filmed meditation on art-with-a-capital-A, written by, directed by, and starring himself.
Set in a wildly imaginative and uncannily familiar world of nanny states and extreme rationing, Safe Zones and New Koreas, A Short Film About Disappointment is an uproarious story of trying to keep it together in turbulent times. Joshua Mattson is a debut novelist with a rotten wit and the creative vision of a hyperactive child.
A parody of Atlas Shrugged (by, of course, Ayn Rand) in the form of a supposed “sequel.”
Branson, Missouri, is the home of Country Music, USA. Its main drag is lined with theaters housing such luminaries as Roy Clark, Loretta Lynn, and Merle Haggard — but you’d better get there early because the late show’s at eight. Branson is one big long traffic jam of R.V.’s, station wagons, pick-up trucks, NRA decals, tour buses and blue-haired grandmothers.
Now Branson just got a little bit more crowded Because the murder trial of country and western star Ray Jones is about to begin, and the media has come loaded for bear. The press presence ranges from the Weekly Galaxy, the most unethical news rag in the universe, to New York City’s Trend: The Magazine for the Way We Live This Instant. In the middle of the melee stands Ray Jones himself, an inscrutable good ol’ boy who croons like an angel but just may be as guilty as sin — of the rape and murder of a 31-year-old theater cashier.
Sara Jaslyn, of Trend, isn’t sure about Ray. The sardonic Jack Ingersoll, her editor and lover, is sure of this much: this time he’s going to do an- exposé that will nail the Weekly Galaxy to the wall. A phalanx of reporters and editors from the Galaxy are breaking every rule, and a few laws, to get the inside story on Ray Jones’s trial. Meanwhile, the IRS is there, too. They want all of Ray Jones’s money, no matter what the jury decides.
Set to the beat of America’s down-home music, as raucous as a smoke-filled hanky-tonk, as funny as grown men in snakeskin boots, BABY, WOULD I LIE? is a murder mystery, a courtroom thriller, a caper novel, and a classic Westlake gem.
The landmark comic satire that asks, “What would happen if all black people in America turned white?”
It’s New Year’s Day 1933 in New York City, and Max Disher, a young black man, has just found out that a certain Dr. Junius Crookman has discovered a mysterious process that allows people to bleach their skin white—a new way to “solve the American race problem.” Max leaps at the opportunity, and after a brief stay at the Crookman Sanitarium, he becomes Matthew Fisher, a white man who is able to attain everything he has ever wanted: money, power, good liquor, and the white woman who rejected him when he was black.
Lampooning myths of white supremacy and racial purity and caricaturing prominent African American leaders like W. E. B. Du Bois, Madam C. J. Walker, and Marcus Garvey, Black No More is a masterwork of speculative fiction and a hilarious satire of America’s obsession with race.
