🚀LAUNCH DAY🚀

An American Journey by Ethel Mannin, with an introduction by Joanna Pocock, author of Greyhound, publishes today!

This latest addition to our Recovered Books series was rediscovered by The Neglected Books Page. An American Journey follows British novelist Ethel Mannin in the spring of 1965 when she decides to see America "the hard way" — traveling by bus from New York to California and back. What she records is all too reminiscent of today's America: racial discrimination, economic inequality, environmental exploitation, and the treatment of native Americans. Her outsider's perspective provides an eye-opening view on both America's recent past and continuing challenges.

🚨NEW BOOK ALERT!🚨 An American Journey by Ethel Mannin, with an introduction by Joanna Pocock, publishes at the end of this month.

Rediscovered by The Neglected Books Page , An American Journey records British novelist Ethel Mannin’s perspective on America in the 1960s, as she travels by bus from New York to California and back again. What she encounters still feels painfully familiar in today's America: racial discrimination, economic inequality, environmental exploitation, and the treatment of Native Americans.

Starting out in New York City, Mannin crosses the U.S. in the spring of 1965, noting its eyesores and disgraces along with its grandeurs and glories. Long an advocate of outsiders and the oppressed, she observes the desperate poverty on "Indian" reservations and the hopelessness of the young and unemployed in Watts. She sees the reluctance of America's most privileged people to open the same opportunities to its least privileged. And yet, everywhere she encounters an irrepressible sense of optimism and faith in the American dream.

🚀LAUNCH DAY! Vengeance Is Mine by Friedrich Torberg, translated by Stephanie Gorrell Ortega, with an introduction by Menachem Kaiser and an afterword by Marcel Atze publishes today!

One morning in November 1940, two men meet on New Jersey dock. One, haggard and haunted, says he’s waiting for 75 refugees from Hitler’s Germany. Every day he waits, and every day he leaves — alone.

Over a drink in a nearby bar, he relates the story of his imprisonment in a pre-war N**i concentration camp. Of the SS commandant who separated out all the Jewish inmates and set about a deliberate program to kill them one by one, by torture, beatings, or su***de. Until the day when one inmate found himself faced with a decision: was vengeance, as it says in the Torah, a matter for God alone?

As It Was in the Beginning of spring, we transition - one season to the next, the old to the new. The sky blue outside your window that was grey, the breeze through the open window warming.

And so, located within the four walls of a private room in a nursing home, As It Was in the Beginning encompasses the entire span of one woman’s life.

As Millicent, Lady Chesborough lies dying, her thoughts move backwards through her own seasons – through her romantic relationships, attempts to define herself, her childhood and earliest memories; a process of self-reflection it feels like the wider world needs so much right now.

A dark, devastating story of profound and terrible prescience…

One morning in November 1940, two men meet on New Jersey dock. One, haggard and haunted, says he’s waiting for refugees from Hitler’s Germany.

Every day he waits, and every day he leaves — alone.

VENGEANCE IS MINE by Friedrich Torberg publishes at the end of this month in English for the first time.

Written in 1943, it was the first work of fiction to foretell something of the N**i’s horrific ‘final solution’.
