Considered one of the best baseball novels of all time, this black comedy about a discontented businessman's obsession with a fantasy baseball league of his own creation is "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" meets William Gaddis meets John Updike's Rabbit, Run. Somewhere in a "major-league" American city, there lives a man named J. Henry Waugh—no-account accountant, barfly, and country music fan.

South Carolina is too small for a republic and too large for an insane asylum. It fired the first shots of the Civil War. It invented nullification. It blockaded its own harbor with pirates. It sent Strom Thurmond to the Senate for 48 years. It built one of the great cities of the colonial world on the labor of enslaved people, nearly got destroyed by the people it was enslaving, survived Sherman's march with its attitude intact, and produced, in the same 350 years, some of the most consequential villains and most remarkable heroes in American history, often from the same county.

Missouri has always had a talent for being exactly in the wrong place at the right time. Too north to be South, too south to be North, and too stubborn to pick a side about anything else, it has spent centuries collecting misunderstandings like souvenirs. Misery, Missouri, and Other Misunderstandings is a fast, irreverent romp through the state’s strangest moments, from frontier chaos and river town hustle to political showdowns that somehow made everything more complicated than it needed to be.

If anyone can get himself into an unfortunate encounter, Neil (AKA Nelly) can. If anyone can notice the ridiculousness of some of the everyday things we have to endure, Nelly can. If anyone can pull all of this together into a book, which is engaging and entertaining, it probably isn’t Nelly, but no one else wanted to do it. This book will make you cringe, smile and shake your head in disbelief. These are all the same feelings that our man incognito has experienced during the encounters and challenges he has faced whilst in the urban bush.

Berlin, 1961. In a city split by walls, spies, and secrets, Karl Brunner, a meticulous watchmaker whose house straddles the border between the two cities, finds himself reluctantly pulled into the absurdities of espionage. Everyday objects become instruments of intrigue, mundane routines hide coded messages, and every second spent spying for both the East and the West carries life-or-death stakes.

Una terra di nessuno che non figura nemmeno sulle carte geografiche, e che dunque può essere colonizzata, reclamandone la proprietà.
