An Illusion of Sun is the first of John Fraser's 14 novels (12 published, two forthcoming). 'I wanted to do a novel that smelled of fascism (I hope not a fascist novel ) -' Fraser says '- the slaughterhouse, the canals, the fruit - every kind of South and Central European fascism, from Franco to Tiso and Dolfuss, its impregnation of other discourses, from "democracy" to "socialism." It was intended to show how that virus had penetrated the bourgeoisie, its philosophy and its theorists, the ornamental style itself the modesty veil thrown over.' The novel is located in a Slavonic Venice, a city...

Black Masks
ISBN: 9780992758820 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A selection of John Fraser's short stories and poems together with the novella 'Black Masks'. The distinguished poet, novelist and Booker Prize nominee John Fuller has written of Fraser's fiction:
One of the most extraordinary publishing events of the past few years has been the rapid, indeed insistent, appearance of the novels of John Fraser. There are few parallels in literary history to this almost simultaneous and largely belated appearance of a mature uvre, sprung like Athena from Zeus's forehead; and the novels in themselves are extraordinary. I can think of nothing much like them... A selection of John Fraser's short stories and poems together with the novella 'Black Masks'. The distinguished poet, novelist and Booker Prize nomine...

The Other Shore
ISBN: 9781494891497 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Other Shore focuses on a critical point in Soviet history. It deals with young Soviet intellectuals, bright but not brilliant, confronting a future threatened with war and stagnation, but still with the impetus of post-Stalinist regeneration.
Rather than being a chronicle of the debates between neo-Bolsheviks, Leninists, social and liberal democrats, Trotskyists, Westernisers and traditionalists, it depicts a more modest but more frequently encountered search for commitment, for a meaningful political and social life, in a vast country where light and darkness flicker and alternate...

Medusa
ISBN: 9780992758899 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. John Fraser's Medusa is a stunning fable for our times, in which the stories of Medusa, the Gorgon and the French ship Medusa are intertwined to create a Pilgrim's Progress for the 21st century. 'Medusa is a trip, a bending of the legends. It is a symphonic poem, where at the end, we even hear a few notes of a hymn to joy. The fragments of myth, legend and belief drift round like harmonies that seek resolution. But this mode is post-modern, post-Christian; it is about the end - yet there is no end: it is story. The resulting tale is an apocryphal blast and a literary tour de force that...

Runners
ISBN: 9781494880644 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Runners John Fraser delivers, in his unique, distinctive voice, the story of a kind of redemption - even a kind of utopia - or as much of a utopia as we can possibly expect, given what we know about most of our political leaders ... An unelected leader buys the office of deputy mayor. Although this 'boss' is a monster, he also has a rare, enlightened side. Where other leaders cling to power, he runs - but instead of running for office, he runs from office; he and his friends become the Runners - the running dogs. Runners is a contemporary remake of Machiavelli's Prince with a nod to...
