Christian Kracht
In a remote Scottish town on the Orkney Islands, Paul, a Swiss interior designer, lives a quiet, carefully ordered life devoted to aesthetics and precision. His routine is disrupted when he receives an unusual commission from a prestigious design magazine: he must travel to Norway to paint a vast data centre in the perfect shade of white. But the journey takes an unexpected turn, and Paul mysteriously disappears from his familiar reality. Elsewhere, in a strange, myth-haunted world, a young girl named Ildr discovers an injured stranger whom she initially mistakes for an animal. As she helps him recover, the two embark on a dangerous journey through an unfamiliar landscape, pursued by the soldiers of a ruthless duke. Blurring the boundaries between fantasy, reality, and dreams, Christian Kracht’s enigmatic novel explores the fragility of modern civilisation and the possibility of escaping its constraints. With precise, atmospheric prose, Air invites readers into a world where time, identity, and existence itself become uncertain.

Michelle Steinbeck
When Fila receives a mysterious phone call informing her that her estranged mother, Magdalena, has been murdered, she must confront a family history she has spent years trying to escape. Raised by her grandmother in Switzerland, Fila has barely seen her mother since Magdalena scandalised the family by advertising her brothel in a newspaper. Now, carrying her mother’s ashes, Fila travels to Italy to retrace Magdalena’s turbulent life and discover the truth about her death. Her journey becomes a surreal, feverish odyssey populated by feminist revolutionaries, ghosts, fascist deserters, and forgotten victims of violence. As Fila investigates her mother’s past, she uncovers a wider history of patriarchal oppression and violence against women. Blending magical realism, dark humour, historical fiction, and feminist revenge, Favorita explores the complicated inheritance between mothers and daughters, the persistence of trauma across generations, and the struggle to reclaim women’s stories from the forces that seek to silence them.
