From the gothic fantasies of Walpole's Otranto to post-modern takes on the country house by Kazuo Ishiguro and Ian McEwan, Phyllis Richardson guides us on a tour through buildings real and imagined to examine how authors' personal experiences helped to shape the homes that have become icons of English literature.We encounter Jane Austen drinking 'too much wine' in the lavish ballroom of a Hampshire manor, discover how Virginia Woolf's love of Talland House at St Ives is palpable in To the Lighthouse, and find Evelyn Waugh remembering Madresfield Court as he plots Charles Ryder's return to Brideshead.Drawing on historical sources, biographies, letters, diaries and the novels themselves, House of Fiction opens the doors to these celebrated houses, while offering candid glimpses of the writers who brought them to life.

A finely crafted meditation on the importance of making things and pushing yourself to grow as a person

Sour Mouth, Sweet Bottom is the book Simon Napier-Bell's fans have always hoped he'd write. His previous bestsellers lifted the lid on the industry, combining brilliant analysis with unforgettable stories of fame and wild excess. But those books hardly scratched the surface. Now, at long last, he's turned the spotlight on himself.From a childhood spent in the cinemas of post-war London and a brief spell playing trumpet in the seedy bars of Montreal, to getting stoned by the pool with Peter Falk and Jack Lemmon in Beverly Hills and co-writing a hit single for Dusty Springfield, this book is a kaleidoscopic sequence of more than sixty episodes drawn from Simon's life that makes most memoirs look like thin gruel by comparison. There are stories of the stellar acts Simon has managed - from the Yardbirds and Marc Bolan to Wham! and Sinead O'Connor - and there's also the wisdom gathered from a louche existence of clubs, restaurants, gigs, award ceremonies, bankruptcies, bereavements, booze and sex, both gay and straight. You could call the book 'How to Use the Music Industry to Create a Lifestyle'. You might equally call it 'How to Use Your Lifestyle to Gain Access to the Music Industry.'Either way, Simon pulls no punches, and the result is a frank, funny and fascinating account of a life truly like no other.

'After you've read this book you'll never look at Degas' sculpture in the same way again' David ShrigleyParis, 1878. Ballet dancer Marie van Goethem is chosen by the unknown artist Edgar Degas to model for his new sculpture: Little Dancer, aged fourteen years.But Marie is much more than she seems. By day she's a 'little rat' of the opera, contorting her starving body to entertain the bourgeoisie. By night she's plotting to overthrow the government and reinstate the Paris Commune, to keep a promise she made to her father, a leading Communard who died in the street massacres of 1871.As Marie watches the troubling sculpture of herself come to life in Degas' hands, she falls further into the intoxicating world of bohemian, Impressionist Paris, a world at odds with the socialist principles she has vowed to uphold.With the fifth Impressionist Exhibition looming, a devastating family secret is uncovered which changes everything for both Marie and Degas. As Degas struggles to finish his sculpture and the police close in on Marie, she must decide where her loyalties lie and act to save herself, her family and the Little Dancer.
