Quicksand
What It Means to Be a Human Being
Henning Mankell
A stunning and poignant autobiographical look at the myriad experiences that shape
a meaningful life, written by bestselling author and activist Henning Mankell after
his cancer diagnosis in 2014. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL.
The great zest for life, which came back when I managed to drag myself out of
the quicksand that threatened to suck me down into the abyss. . . .
In January 2014, Henning Mankell received a diagnosis of lung cancer.
Quicksand is a response to this shattering news--but it is not a memoir of
destruction. Instead, it is a testament to a life fully lived, a tribute to the
extraordinary and fleeting human journey that delivers both boundless
opportunity and crucial responsibility. In a series of intimate vignettes, Mankell
ranges over rich and varied reflections: of growing up in a small Swedish town,
where he experiences a startling revelation on a winter morning as a young boy; of
living hand-to-mouth during a summer in Paris as an ambitious young writer; of
his work at a theater in Mozambique, where Lysistrata is staged in the midst of
civil war; of chance encounters with men and women who changed his
understanding of the world. Along the way, Mankell ponders the meaning of a
good life, and the critically important ways we can shape the future of humanity if
we are fortunate enough to have the choice. Vivid, clear-eyed, and breathtakingly
ON SALE 1/10/2017 beautiful, Quicksand is an invaluable parting gift from a great man.
VINTAGE BELOVED AUTHOR: Dubbed the "dean of Nordic noir" (The Atlantic), Mankell has exerted a

hard-drinking, world-weary, and wry police inspector Kurt Wallander. With more than

Arcadia
Iain Pears
A dazzlingly inventive novel of time travel and alternate worlds, from the author of
the international bestseller An Instance of the Fingerpost.
In 1960s Oxford, Professor Henry Lytten is writing a fantasy novel that attempts
to forgo the magic of his predecessors, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. He finds an
unlikely confidante in his inquisitive young neighbor, Rosie, who, while chasing
after Lytten's cat one day, encounters a doorway in his cellar. When she steps
through, she is stunned to find herself in an idyllic, pastoral land where beliefs
and customs differ vastly from her own. There she meets a young man about to
embark on a quest of his own--and who may be the one chance Rosie has of
returning home. These breathtaking adventures intertwine with the story of an
eccentric psychomathematician whose breakthrough discovery will affect all of
these different lives and worlds. Astonishingly rich and deeply satisfying, Arcadia
tests the boundaries of storytelling and asks: If the past can change the future,
then might the future also indelibly alter the past?
PAPERBACK AUDIENCE: Iain Pears's novels have performed particularly well in paperback,
netting over 200,000 copies. Arcadia will similarly appeal to a strong paperback audience
of sci-fi/fantasy readers.

story, but with skillfully interwoven plots and characters, and fascinating explorations of
time, history, gender, and culture, it is also a rich text that rewards discussion and

VINTAGE CROSSOVER POTENTIAL: Arcadia encompasses worlds--and genres. There's plenty within

Dissent and the Supreme Court
Its Role in the Court's History and the Nation's Constitutional
Dialogue
Melvin I. Urofsky
From the admired judicial authority, Melvin Urofsky's major new book looks at the
role of dissent in the Supreme Court and the meaning of the Constitution through the
greatest and longest lasting public-policy debate in the country's history.
Constitutional dialogue is one of the ways in which we as a people reinvent and
reinvigorate our democratic society. In Dissent and the Supreme Court, acclaimed
historian Melvin Urofsky examines the great dissents throughout the Court's
225-year history. Throughout its history, the Supreme Court has interpreted the
meaning of the Constitution, acknowledged that the Court's majority opinions
have not always been right, and initiated a critical discourse about what a
particular decision should mean--largely through the power of dissent. Urofsky
shows that the practice grew slowly but steadily and that in the nineteenth century
dissents became more frequent--fashioning subsequent decisions. Beginning with
the (in)famous & now overturned case of Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857), during
which Chief Justice Roger Taney's opinion upheld slavery, Urofsky then considers
Louis Brandeis's dissenting opinion about wiretapping, which became the position
of the Court four decades after it was written.
ON SALE 1/10/2017 Urofsky looks at the many aspects of American constitutional life that were
VINTAGE affected by the Earl Warren Court, the rise of conservatism, and the present age of
TRADE PAPERBACK incivility, in which reasoned dialogue seems less and less possible. Yet within the
Marble Palace, the members of the Supreme Court continue to hear arguments,
978-0-307-74132-5 vote, and draft majority opinions, while the minority continues to "respectfully
$17.00/$23.00 dissent." The Framers understood that if a constitution doesn't grow and adapt, it
atrophies and dies, and if it does, so does the democratic society it has supported.
Category: Law Dissent--on the Court and off, Urofsky argues--has been a crucial ingredient in
BISAC 1: Law - Constitutional keeping the Constitution alive and must continue to be so.
BISAC 2: Law - Legal History COURSE ADOPTION: Great classroom companion, Dissent and the Supreme Court explores

Spine/Depth: 33/32 Carton Count: 24 shows how reasoned argument and dissent have been central to our constitutional system,
Illustrations: B&W ILLUSTRATIONS THROUGHOUT and how it still continues in the face of discord. The book will be newly relevant in 2017
during which we should expect at least two new appointments to the bench.
Marketing and Publicity EXPERT AUTHOR: Melvin Urofsky is a major constitutional historian and scholar, praised by
Alan Dershowitz, Jeffrey Rosen and celebrated, Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and
Publicity author of Gideon's Trumpet, Anthony Lewis.

Green Island
A Novel
Shawna Yang Ryan
A stunning story of love, betrayal, and family, set in a Taiwan undergoing enormous
changes over the course of the twentieth century.
February 28, 1947: While an upraising rocks Taipei and the city is plunged into
martial law, Dr. Tsai delivers his youngest daughter, the unnamed narrator of
Green Island. Soon afterwards, he is dragged from his new family by Chinese
Nationalists on charges of speaking out against the government. His return after
more than a decade is marked by alienation from his loved ones and paranoia
among his community--conflicts that loom over the growing bond he forms with
his daughter. Years later, this troubled past follows her to America, where, as a
mother and a wife, she too is forced to decide between what is right and what
might save her family--the same choice she witnessed her father make many
years before. Spanning six decades and two continents, Green Island is the story
of Taiwan, as seen through the eyes of one woman--and a lush and lyrical story of
a family and a nation grappling with the nuances of complicity and survival, raising
the question: how far would you be willing to go for the ones you love?
AUTHOR: Ryan has received an Emerging Writer Award--Hawai'i's top literary award--from
the Hawai'i Literary Arts Council, and is the author of one previous novel, Water Ghosts.

A Decent Ride
Irvine Welsh
Irvine Welsh returns to Edinburgh in this hilarious, filth-ridden comic masterwork.
'Juice' Terry Lawson is a man who contains multitudes: he's a top shagger,
drug-dealing, gonzo pornstar and taxi driver. As we ride along in Juice's cab
through the depraved streets of Edinburgh, we encounter a series of charmingly
filthy characters, each of whom present their own unique challenges. Has he finally
met his match in Hurricane 'Bawbag'? Can he discover the fate of the beautiful
Jinty Magdalen and keep her idiot-savant lover, Wee Jonty, out of prison? Will he
find out the real motives of the reality-TV star, Ronald Checker? And, crucially, will
Juice be able to negotiate life after a terrible event robs him of his sexual virility,
and can a new fascination for the game of golf help him to live without a decent
ride? Buckle your seatbelts and prepare for one unforgettable ride.
HOLLYWOOD BUZZ: A sequel to the classic film Trainspotting, which catapulted Welsh to
fame--directed by Danny Boyle and starring Ewan McGregor--is rumored to hit theaters in
early 2017. The film will renew interest in Welsh and the paperback price point will attract
new fans who see the movie.
RETURN OF A BELOVED CHARACTER: Juice, who made his first appearance in Welsh's Glue,
is a mess of gleeful contradictions: charismatic yet immoral, shameless but decent. Fans
will delight in returning to Juice, and the depraved Edinburgh of Welsh's imagining. What's
more, the character Ronald Checker, a reality TV star and businessman, shares a number
of qualities with one Donald Trump, tying A Decent Ride to the media circus that
surrounds the candidate.

Version Control
A Novel
Dexter Palmer
A fresh and compelling novel about the effects of science and technology on our
relationships and our selves.
Rebecca Wright has reclaimed her life following a tragedy, spending her days
working in customer support for the internet dating site where she first met her
husband. But she can't shake a strange sense that everything around her is
somewhat off-kilter: she constantly feels as if she has walked into a room and
forgotten what she intended to do there; on TV, the President seems to be the
wrong person in the wrong place; her dreams are full of disquiet. Meanwhile, her
husband's decade-long dedication to his invention, the causality violation device
(which he would greatly prefer you not call a "time machine") has effectively stalled
his career and made him a laughingstock in the physics community. But he may be
closer to success than either of them knows. Emotionally powerful and stunningly
visionary, Version Control will alter the way you see both the future and the
present.
PRAISE: Version Control has received rave reviews, with NPR calling it "a vertigo-inducing
peek behind the veil of existence." It got starred reviews from Booklist, Library Journal,
Kirkus, and Publishers Weekly (where it was also a Pick of the Week). The Washington Post,
BuzzFeed, Book Riot, and io9 all named it a book of the month.
GENRE CROSSOVER APPEAL: The novel will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and Tom
Perrotta, as well as those who appreciate literary fiction that deals with grief and

VINTAGE AUTHOR: Palmer holds a Ph.D. in English literature from Princeton and his first novel, The
TRADE PAPERBACK Dream of Perpetual Motion, was an IndieNext pick and a Kirkus best debut of the year.
He's well connected in the sci-fi community, and has participated on panels with William

Everybody's Fool
A Novel
Richard Russo
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls now returns to the story of Sully,
the hapless hero of his beloved breakout novel, Nobody's Fool.
The irresistible Sully, who in the intervening years has come by some
unexpected good fortune, is now staring down a VA cardiologist's estimate that he
only has a year or two left. He's busy as hell keeping the news from the most
important people in his life: Ruth, the married woman he carried on with for
years... the ultra-hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren't still
best friends... his son and grandson, for whom he was mostly an absentee figure...
Doug Raymer, now chief of police and still obsessing over the identity of the man
his wife might have been having an affair with before she died in a freak
accident... North Bath's mayor, the former academic Gus Moynihan, who also has
a pressing wife problem... and then there's Carl Roebuck, whose lifelong run of
failing upwards might now come to ruin. Everybody's Fool is filled with humor,
heart, hard times, and characters you can't help but love for all their faults. It is
classic Russo--and a crowning achievement from one of the greatest storytellers
of our time.
NATIONAL BESTSELLER: Everybody's Fool debuted at #8 on the New York Times bestseller
list.
