Stanno accadendo strane cose nel piccolo villaggio di Hilltop, remota località dell'Alaska dove l'inverno è così gelido da ottenebrare le coscienze. Da quando, tre mesi prima, è stata aperta Hanover House, una clinica psichiatrica di massima sicurezza che ospita con finalità scientifiche i più feroci serial killer d'America, nessuno dorme più sonni tranquilli e a nulla servono le rassicurazioni di Evelyn Talbot, la psichiatra trentenne e determinata che dirige l'istituto insieme al collega Fitzpatrick. Soprattutto quando nella neve avviene un macabro ritrovamento: i resti di una donna, orrendamente martoriata. Per il giovane sergente Amarok è la conferma di ciò che ha sempre temuto: portare un branco di efferati assassini a pochi metri dalle loro case e dalle loro famiglie è stata una decisione estremamente pericolosa. Ma la sua fermezza si scontra con il fascino fragile e misterioso di Evelyn, il cui passato nasconde il più nero e atroce degli incubi. E mentre una violenta tormenta di neve si abbatte sul paese rendendo impossibili i collegamenti e le comunicazioni, la psichiatra ha più di un motivo per pensare che quel primo omicidio sia un messaggio destinato proprio a lei e che l'ombra del passato la stia per raggiungere ancora una volta.

Brendan Behan's genius was to strike a chord between critic and common man. When he died, at the age of 41, he was arguably the most celebrated Irish writer of the twentieth century.nnnnAfter the Wake is a collection of seven prose works and a series of articles. It includes all that exists of an unfinished novel, 'The Catacombs', and pieces together items whose comic and fanciful accounts evoke Flann O'Brien. Also featured are works of acknowledged excellence, 'The Confirmation Suit' and 'A Woman of No Standing'. This writing bears all the hallmarks of the author's talent - an ability to bring characters to life quickly and unforgettably, a sharp ear for dialogue and dialect, and a natural vocation for story-telling.nnnnThis diverse collection is a delightful and entertaining windfall from one of Ireland's most colourful writers. An essential complement to Behan's master works.

I have him bitched, balloxed and bewildered, for theres a system and a science in taking the piss out of a screw and I'm a well-trained man at it.' nnSo writes Brendan Behan, poet, writer and literary legend, of the episode that coloured his life. Arrested in Liverpool as an agitator for the IRA, he was tried and sent to reform school. He was sixteen years old. nnThe world he entered was brutal and coldly indifferent. Conditions were primitive, and violence simmered just below the surface. Yet Brendan Behan found something more positive than hate in Borstal: friendship, solidarity and healing flashes of kindness. Extraordinarily vivid, fluent, and moving, this is a superb and unforgettable piece of writing. Borstal Boy was adapted into a film in 2000.

An essential text in the development of modern British drama First staged by Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop company at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East, London, in 1958, The Hostage is a play about a Cockney soldier held as a hostage in a Dublin lodging house in exchange for an IRA man who is to be hanged in Belfast. Civic Guards accidentally shoot him in a raid on the house. It is a witty and often profound comment on Anglo-Irish relationships and on the Irish themselves. This is Behan's best-known and most popular play and a classic of the modern stage.A magnificent entertainment which "crowds in tragedy and comedy, bitterness and love, caricature and portrayal, ribaldry and eloquence, patriotism and cynicism..."

Through image-rich poems regarding migration, transcultural identity, loss, connection, dream, and aging-some translingual, some ekphrastic responses to ephemeral and surreal works of art-Brenda Cardenas' Trace explores conditions of displacement, liminality, and mutability. These poems transgress illusory borders between lands, languages, humans and the rest of the natural world, waking and dreaming, and the living and the dead as they unearth traces of experience that shape and haunt us, traces we leave behind for others to encounter. Although elegy resurfaces throughout this collection as does a poetics of social consciousness, Cardenas also embraces moments of levity, story, and an effervescent internal music that balance her steps through fraught yet bewitching terrain.

"Streghe" è un libro che racconta di tradizioni, di guarigione e di violenza, un testo in cui la potenza del linguaggio è territorio dell'ignoto, ponte tra mondi e luogo di rivelazioni.
