By Norman Mailer
For fans of Mailer, here is his first novel, the one that catapulted him to instant fame. It’s a long read about ordinary guys on military service in the Philippines. But as one of the first American war novels (published in 1949) it set the standard of things to come.
By Gunter Grass
An ambitious read for those with the time and inclination to appreciate modern European literature at its most powerful. A serious, penetrating look at the German psyche through the eyes of one of its greatest writers.
By Don Paterson
Feelings which are often hidden are explored in this intensely spiritual group of poems. Light and dark, silence and utterance, decay and renewal are all examined in this collection.
