Letter from the Publisher

Welcome to Oneworld’s catalogue for Autumn 2009 We are delighted to announce the launch of our new fiction list with critically acclaimed author Marlon James’ extraordinary new release, The Book of Night Women. A sweeping, stylish historical novel set on an 18th-century Jamaican sugar plantation, it offers a startling, hard-edged dissection of slavery described by The New York Times as “beautifully written, but devastating”. Oneworld Fiction will focus on outstanding books that introduce the reader to diverse cultures, interesting historical events, and important social – or global – issues, each carefully selected and beautifully produced, in line with our commitment to publishing books that make a difference to people’s lives. Once again, we have some great non-fiction titles on our list. The 60 Second Philosopher and The Electric Toilet Virgin Death Lottery provide two wildly different ways to expand one’s mind. Journalist Ellie Levinson offers a fresh and incisive look at what it means to be female in The Noughtie Girl’s Guide to Feminism, and Plato’s Podcast provides an ancient guide to modern living. Dead Famous: The Final Hours of the Notable and Notorious offers an irreverent and addictive look at celebrity deathstyles, while our All-American Book of Lists provides a sweeping take on all things American, from pie to presidents. Finally, our Beginner’s Guide series goes from strength to strength, offering meticulously-researched and engaging examinations of everything from Buddhism to Journalism. That’s just the front list. Our backlist is packed with outstanding authors of international repute that we are extremely proud to publish. A heartfelt thank you to all of them.

Enjoy browsing the list.Juliet Mabey and Novin Doostdar

About the Author

Marlon James was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1970. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a degree in literature, currently teaches creative writing at Macalester College in Minnesota, and is working on his next novel.

The Book of Night WomenMarlon James

From a young writer who radiates charisma and talent comes a sweeping, stylish historical novel of Jamaican slavery written “in the spirit of Toni Morrison and Alice Walker but in a style all his own”

Described by the New York Times as “both beautifully written and devastating”, The Book of Night Women is a startling, hard-edged dissection of slavery – a true tour de force of both voice and storytelling. At the heart of the novel is the extraordinary character of Lilith, a spirited slave girl struggling to transcend the violence into which she is born, her story narrated in one of the boldest literary voices to grace the page. Overflowing with high drama and heartbreak, at its centre is the conspiracy of the Night Women, a clandestine council of fierce slave women plotting an island-wide revolt. Rebellions simmer, incidents of sadism and madness run rampant, and the tangled web of power relationships dramatically unravels amid dangerous secrets, unspoken jealousies, inhuman violence, and very human emotion.

“Written in the spirit of Toni Morrison and Alice Walker but in a style all his own, James has conducted an experiment in how to write the unspeakable – even the unthinkable. And the results of that experiment are an undeniable success.”

The New York Times

“ This is a book to love … hard to pick up, even harder to put down.”

Chicago Tribune

“Darkly powerful” Washington Post

“An epic novel of late-18th-century West Indian slavery, complete with all its carnage and brutishness, but one that, like a Toni Morrison novel, whispers rather than shouts its horrors.” Time Out

Plato’s PodcastsThe Ancients’ Guide to Modern LivingMark Vernon

The ancients knew how to live it up. Now you can too!

Do you ever get the feeling that something went wrong? What with credit crunches, wars, congestion charges, and unemployment, it is natural to hark back to less complicated times. In this witty and inspiring book, Mark Vernon does just that, looking all the way back to 400BC! Filled with timeless insight into life, relationships, work, and partying, Plato’s Podcasts takes a sideways glance at modern living and presents the would-be thoughts of Ancient Philosophers on various topics central to our 21st-century existence. From Plato on podcasts to Epicurus on bottled water, this is a funny but profound take on what life means today (and two thousand years ago).
