Stuart David’s cult classic, The Peacock Manifesto, was described by The Big Issue as ‘a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the Transporting generation,’ and by Scotland On Sunday as 'a lightning-paced explosion on the page. A feast of bruising humour.' It tells the story of Peacock Johnson, a well-dressed Glasgow hard-man who heads for America armed only with a Glen Campbell record, and an idea that he believes is guaranteed to turn him into a dance music millionaire. Peacock touches down in Chicago, and sets off on a wild road trip across the country with an ex-con called Evil Bob. Let loose in the land of gun-totting taxi drivers, gargantuan sandwiches, and ecstatic Elvis worship, Peacock watches his plans spiraling chaotically out of control as he travels towards a full on collision with American culture, at breakneck speed- doing everything he can to hold onto his Glaswegian vision of the American Dream. Praise for The Peacock Manifesto: ‘The DJing scene alone is, as Peacock might say, “pure f*cking genius”’ UNCUT ‘With a frenetic mixture of farce and reality David has created a rollercoaster ride of a novel.’ ATTITUDE ‘The f-word count is probably a world record” THE BOOKSELLER MAGAZINE

I’ve never seen eyes that color or that intense. Nothing I do is ever good enough for him, and with each mistake I make, with each unwritten rule that I break, the consequences get worse and worse. Until finally he begins calling me into his office. He whispers in my ear that I can’t come until he tells me to. He touches me until I bite my lip to keep from screaming.

    The Burning Bride follows the story of Uma, a newly wed woman. She starts her new life with many dreams. However, her dreams turn into nightmares when her parents are unable to fulfil the dowry demands made by Madhu, her mother-in-law. The heaven she had imagined turns into a hell, and the worst part is; there appears to be no escape. Despite the high figures of violence against women, the female form is worshipped throughout India, and the most commonly worshipped Goddess is Durga, who has nine forms. Therefore the Burning Bride is told through the eyes of 9 women. The nine perspectives highlight psychological, social and cultural factors which maintain these systems. Why does a mother force her own daughter to stay in an abusive relationship? Why does a neighbour who sees abuse happening turn a blind eye? What goes through the mind of someone doing the abuse? At least 10% of the profits made from the sales of The Burning Bride will support the Asian Circle to fund Oxfam projects to end domestic violence in India.

    A lively, idiosyncratic, witty look at what is at the heart of our political process by a man who has crossed over from observer to activist, to become one of our newest members of parliament.

    But when he is stricken with an ill-timed case of ED (Erectile Dysfunction), the desperate player faces his biggest campaign killer of all and goes to hilarious extremes to keep himself in the running. Peter Lefcourt holds a perfectly cracked mirror to the spin-filled world of Washington's sexual politics and asks a penetrating question: How hard does a politician have to be?

    Drawing on his experiences at the heart of the campaign, Daniel Hannan dissects the result and our reaction. He outlines why Vote Leave won, exploring what people were voting for and what they weren’t. He looks at the immediate aftermath—how it differs from what people expected and what it says about where to go next. Brexit, Hannan points out, is a process—not an event—with three key areas of consideration: the UK's relationship with the remaining 27 EU states; their relationship with the rest of the world; and, crucially, their consequent domestic reforms—there is no point to Brexit if they don’t now tackle the threats to democracy of corporatism and lobbying. What Next is Hannan’s blueprint for a successful Brexit. A Brexit that addresses the concerns of the 48% who voted Remain as well as of the 52% who voted Leave, a Brexit that revitalizes British democracy, and a Brexit that will be mutually beneficial for both Britain and Europe.
