A Tall History of Sugar
Though uniquely its own, A Tall History of Sugar shares themes with Marlon James's work. Akashic was very successful with James's debut novel, John Crow's Devil, and James has gone on to win numerous awards for his literature, including the Man Booker Prize for his third novel. Curdella Forbes's novel is equally as strong as James's novels, and we are confident James's large literary audience will embrace A Tall History of Sugar as well.In addition to the comparison's to Marlon James, the novel is also influenced by Gabriel Garcia-Marquez. Akashic is very well-connected to the Caribbean/Jamaican literary community, and Forbes's novel will be supported by Marlon James, Kwame Dawes, Colin Channer, etc. This is our lead literary fiction title for the season. A year before the print release of the book, there was a bidding war for the audiobook rights and these were eventually sold to Recorded Books for one of the biggest deals we've done for a literary work; we are also expecting a larger than normal offer from a very prominent UK based publisher.
Gliding Flight
Inventive, dreamy Gieles lives with his father and a flock of geese on a plane-spotters’ campsite next to an airstrip. The surrounding landscape reclaimed from the sea, is as isolated as Gieles himself. The fourteen-year-old boy is longing for the mysterious dreadlocked girl he’s met online, and for the affection of his absent mother, off on hapless missions to save the world. The boy conceives a desperate, dangerous plan to attract his mother’s attention. He’ll be a hero. Just like Captain Sully, who bravely landed on the Hudson after geese flew into his engines. Goemans’ charmingly upbeat novel describes the fantasy-driven world of a teenage boy. At the same time, it tells the incredible story about how the Dutch turned water into land.
We and Me
A European take on the tradition “The Great American Novel’ Has been described as a literary ‘desperate housewives’ and the European answer to Jonathan Franzen. We and Me follows a bourgeois Belgian family over several decades, portraiting how loneliness can thread through even the most intimate of our relationships Lonely in their togetherness, the father is immersed in his high-paying career, the mother spends hours combing her rugs, and their daughter Sarah rebels against her parents and isolation on top of a Belgian mountain Compared to the works of Jonathan Franzen, Dave Eggers and Jeffrey Eugenides, We and Me is a novel that will haunt me for a long time. Excellent and unforgettable.’—Herman Koch, author of The Dinner Saskia de Coster is on of the greatest Belgian writers of our time and her work has been translated into ten languages. We and Me won the Cutting Edge Award and the Opzij Literature Prize.
