ZONE 23 is a darkly comic dystopian satire about being human, all-too-human, featuring two of the most endearing Anti-Social anti-heroes that ever rebelled against the forces of Normality. Set in the post-catastrophic future, in a peaceful, prosperous, corporate-controlled society where all dissent and non-conformity has been pathologized, and the human race is being genetically corrected in order to establish everlasting peace on Earth, Zone 23 is a hilarious, heartbreaking affirmation of the anarchic human spirit, and a defiant departure from the norms of both the genre sci-fi and literary novel. A brilliant (and hilarious) critique of the emptiness of American life and the meaninglessness of the popular culture that attempts to fill the void.Toronto Globe & Mail

From the acclaimed playwright and author of Glengarry Glen Ross and American Buffalo comes Some Recollections of St. Ives, a masterful novel that masquerades as a memoir of the fictional Charles Hollis, a man whose life spanned continents, conflicts, and a decades-long career at one of America’s most storied institutions—the St. Ives School. Written in the final years of Hollis’s life, Some Recollections of St. Ives offers a candid yet poignant reflection on his forty years at the school. Through the allegorical tales woven into Hollis’s recollections, Mamet delivers a sharp, incisive examination of an isolated institution and, by extension, society as a whole. Once again, Mamet proves himself a master of language, balancing history’s weight on our culture with profound emotional depth. With wit and keen insight, he explores the complexities of human nature and the undercurrents of an American institution.
Castro: A Biography by Consent offers the most comprehensive and in-depth life history of one of the most iconic and controversial revolutionary leaders of the modern world. Respected by some, despised by others, Fidel Castro was a force to reckon with. Claudia Furiati spent nine years of intensive research unraveling and chronicling his story through seven decades of Cuban history. Castro granted Furiati his consent to write this biography and gave his assurance that he would not read it until the book was completed and published. He allowed her access to his personal (confidential and secret) archives and official files. Through these and multiple interviews with Castro’s friends and enemies alike, Furiati fills in gaps missing from other biographies and provides, through extensive narrative and photos, a powerful portrayal of this charismatic yet enigmatic head of state.
