T2 TRAINSPOTTING (MOVIE TIE-IN)
Written by Welsh, Irvine
Here is the Trainspotting crew ten years further down the line: still scheming, still scamming, still fighting for the first-class seats as the train careens at high velocity with derailment looming around the next corner. In this world, even the cons get conned. Sick Boy and Renton jockey for top dog, and out-of-jail and in-for-revenge Begbie is on the loose.
HOUSES

MOONSTONE: THE BOY WHO NEVER WAS: A NOVEL
Written by Sjon
The mind-bending miniature historical epic is Sjón's specialty, and Moonstone: The Boy Who Never Was is no exception. But it is also Sjón's most realistic, accessible, and heartfelt work yet. It is the story of a young man on the fringes of a society that is itself at the fringes of the world--at what seems like history's most tumultuous, perhaps ultimate moment.
HYMNS & QUALMS: NEW AND SELECTED POEMS AND TRANSLATIONS
Written by Cole, Peter
"[Peter Cole's] poetry is perhaps most remarkable for its combination of intellectual rigor with delight in surface, for how its prosody returns each abstraction to the body, linking thought and breath, metaphysics and musicality. Religious, erotic, elegiac, pissed off--the affective range is wide and the forms restless."--Ben Lerner, BOMB
