High & Ralph C. Del Pozzo. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Sean Hughes is an award-winning Irish comic turned bestselling writer whom the British Independent has compared to the likes of Irvine Welsh, James Kelman, and Will Self. Now, the popular comedian delivers IT’S WHAT HE WOULD’VE WANTED, a brutally funny, highly charged, and moving novel about a directionless thirty-year-old man’s belated transition into adulthood. Our narrator and protagonist is Shea Hickson, a commitment-phobic just-turned-thirty-year-old with somewhat adolescent leanings. Shea lives off lottery winnings and spends his time blindly serving a secret organization whose stated duty is to ‘seek truth,’ which, though Shea doesn’t quite realize it, turns out to be a small-time terrorist gig. Shea’s parents appear to be a quintessentially comfortable, suburban middle-class couple, and when sons Shea and Orwell (named after Che Guevara and George, their father having been something of a nostalgic radical) arrive for Christmas Eve, all seems as it should be. But when Shea turns a corner to find his father, a BBC weatherman, hanging from the light fixture, the son’s disaffected existence is turned upside down. Worse, Shea’s discovery of an encoded journal his father had been keeping uncovers shocking revelations about his father’s disappointed life as a parent, husband, and disillusioned minor celebrity. Jolted from his emotional ennui, Shea determines to figure out what drove his father to his death and, in the process of unraveling the Hickson family’s increasingly distasteful secrets, comes to better understand himself. With wry humor and savage undercurrents, the story winds through the seamier side of London life - skirting the worlds of television, newspapers, and small-scale urban terrorism. Buoyed by Hughes’s edgy humor and Seinfeldian observations about modern life, IT’S WHAT HE WOULD’VE WANTED dissects and mutilates traditional family values as it maps one son’s attempt to piece together a world fractured by alienation, paranoia, and conflict. inventory #28748 ISBN: 0743201590., New York. 1990.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - In March of 1936, Brazil’s Fascist government seized twenty-eight-year-old Communist revolutionary Olga Benario and her lover, the legendary Communist guerrilla leader Luis Carlos Prestes. In September, after spending six months in a Brazilian prison, Olga-German, Jewish, and now seven months pregnant-was nonetheless classified as extremely dangerous and was deported to Nazi Germany. Olga Benario was one of the most remarkable Communist activists of the twentieth century. Blessed with a genius for organization and strategy and devoted intellectually, morally, and personally to the Communist cause, she crisscrossed the globe educating and activating legions to combat the worldwide plagues of nazism and fascism. Born in Munich, she became a member of the Communist Youth there at age fourteen. Five years later, she masterminded and led a daring raid on the Moabit Prison in Berlin to free her then-lover, the Communist intellectual Otto Braun. Together they escaped to Moscow, where they quickly rose in the ranks of the international Communist movement. At twenty-six, she was chosen to serve as bodyguard to Prestes, who was then also in Moscow. Traveling under assumed names, they crossed Europe and North and South America to reach Brazil, where Prestes would launch a revolution against the Fascist regime. The uprising failed, however, and within months, they were seized by the police. Olga continued her activism from within Brazilian and, later, German prisons, sustaining herself through long periods of solitary confinement and constant interrogation with her unwavering dedication to the cause. She also conducted ‘classes’ for her fellow political prisoners, teaching them Marxist theory and creating and circulating a tiny atlas, drawn from memory, which mapped the advancement of the Nazis through Europe. On November 27, 1936, she gave birth to a healthy girl while in the Gestapo’s women’s prison in Berlin. Miraculously, she was able to keep her child with her for fourteen months. Young Anita Leocidia Prestes was then turned over to Olga’s mother-in-law, who from Paris had petitioned the Gestapo to release both mother and child. But Olga was never to see her daughter again. She was subsequently sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, and in February of 1942, she was sent to her death in the gas chambers at Bernburg. Award-winning Brazilian journalist Fernando Morais provides us with much more than merely an accurate chronology of Olga Benario’s astounding political career: he has drawn a stunning historical portrait of this great revolutionary genius and her short, turbulent, and passionate life. inventory #23296 ISBN: 080211086x.
