Årets ljudbok enligt The British Book Awards 2023
Mungo och James borde inte vara vänner. I ett hypermaskulint och våldsamt Glasgow där protestanter och katoliker håller sig på varsin kant är de två tonåringarnas känslor för varandra helt otillåtna, och drömmen om att fly krockar ständigt med skräcken för att bli upptäckt.
När Mungos mamma skickar honom på en fisketur med två tvivelaktiga män behöver han samla all sin inre styrka för att kunna ta sig tillbaka till säkerheten och till en plats där han och James kan ha en framtid tillsammans. Unge Mungo är en gripande uppväxtskildring, en berättelse om maskulinitetens gränser och om farorna med att älska någon för mycket.

Vinnare av 2020 års Booker-pris!
Året är 1981 och industristaden Glasgow är nere för räkning. Under Thatchers järnhårda styre måste man kämpa för att överleva. Glamorösa Agnes Bain har alltid haft större drömmar än så, men när hennes man lämnar familjen faller allt samman och det kommer an på barnen att fånga henne. Shuggie Bain, minstingen, är den som håller ut längst. Men Shuggie drömmer sig också bort, från gruvområdet och från den hånfulla omgivning som aldrig låter honom glömma att han är annorlunda.
Douglas Stuarts debutroman SHUGGIE BAIN är en berättelse om klass och kärlek. Den har fått ett storartat mottagande och jämförts med såväl Frank McCourt, Hanya Yanagihara och Éduoard Louis som James Joyce. ”En debut som känns som ett mästerverk”, skrev Washington Post.

Pank och med en oanvändbar konstskoleutbildning i bagaget, återvänder John-Calum Macleod till hemön Harris i de Yttre Hebriderna. Millennieskiftet står för dörren men på ön lever man som man alltid gjort, med och av fåren.
Återigen tvingas Cal navigera mellan fadern John, en puritansk fårfarmare, och mormor Ella, två explosiva motpoler som motvilligt huserat under samma tak i decennier. Medan Cal i hemlighet letar efter en man som kan lindra hans ensamhet förbannar fader John sonens långa hår och hans vägran att underordna sig den lokala församlingen som styr det mesta på ön.
Men livet på ön är inte så okomplicerat som det kan se ut, och Cal börjar gradvis ana de osynliga band som döljer sig bakom öbornas stränga gemenskap.
Douglas Stuart har skrivit en gripande familjesaga om hemligheter och livslögner, precis som genombrottet Shuggie Bain är John och John en omvälvande läsupplevelse, signerad en av vår tids stora berättare.

Barack Obama’s "rebalancing" or "pivot" strategy, intended to demonstrate continued US commitment to the Asia-Pacific region in a variety of military, economic, and diplomatic contexts, was launched with much fanfare in 2011. Implicit in the new strategy is both a focus on China – engagement with, and containment of – and a heavy reliance by the United States on its existing friends and allies in the region in order to implement its strategy. This book explores the impact of the new strategy on America’s regional friends and allies. It shows how these governments are working with Washington to advance and protect their distinct national interests, while at the same time avoiding any direct confrontation with China. It also addresses the reasons why many of these regional actors harbour concerns about the ability of the US to sustain the pivot strategy in the long run. Overall, the book illustrates the deep complexities of the United States’ exercise of power and influence in the region.
