The Failing Heart

by
Eoghan Smith

he Failing Heart is a dark, surreal tale set in Dublin.

T
Haunted by the death of his mother and the impending birth of his ex-lover’s child,
a young man embarks on an obsessive quest for knowledge. Abandoning his home,
running out of money and increasingly paranoid, the people he encounters and the places
he inhabits become mysterious sources of terror and anxiety. Everywhere there are
intimations of a world that demands to be known, and yet refuses to yield up its secrets.

A contemporary fable of existential melancholia, The Failing Heart plunges the reader
into the psyche of a tortured individual who struggles to come to terms with his life.

E oghan Smith is an Irish writer, critic and academic. He completed a PhD at Maynooth
University, and has taught English literature at universities and colleges in Dublin,
Maynooth and Carlow since the mid-2000s. He is the author of a full-length study of
the novels of John Banville, and the co-editor of a collection
of essays on Irish suburban literary and visual cultures. He
has contributed numerous essays, articles and reviews on
literature and visual culture to a variety of academic and literary
publications.

The Failing Heart is his irst novel.

Dangerous Days
by
Leo Kanaris

angerous Days is both a state-of-the-nation novel and a thoughtful and engaging

D crime novel. It is the third adventure for private investigator George Zakiris in
crisis-torn Greece.

It shines a light on the most secret and closely guarded sanctuary of Greek life – the
family. While the State lurches between dysfunction and bankruptcy, blood relations
turn to each other for support. Debts are written off, misdemeanours forgiven, jobs
found for unemployables. But if charity begins at home, it also ends there. Networks of
obligation bind people so tight they can never escape. Jealousy runs rampant. Nepotism
keeps talent suppressed. Crime and corruption are buried in silence. While solving other
people’s problems private investigator George Zakiris gets more deeply entangled in his
own. When the offer of work arrives from a polluted family source, he is forced to make
an impossible choice between poverty and collusion in crime.

Both the previous novels, Codename Xenophon and Blood & Gold, have received great
praise in the UK, US and in Germany, and Dangerous Days takes this crime series to a
new level.

eo Kanaris was a teacher for many years. He now writes

L full time and lives in southern Greece. He is the author of
three novels featuring the private investigator George Zairis:
Codename Xenophon, Blood & Gold and Dangerous Days.

Also by Leo Kanaris:

Codename Xenophon
‘With vivid characterisation and a plot that thickens without
obscuring the essential threads, Kanaris emerges as a sharp new
talent in crime writing.’ Barry Turner in The Daily Mail
‘The narrative lits from a frenzied Athens to the idyllic islands as
politicians, Russian crooks, corrupt policemen thicken the plot,
the world-weary Zairis nimbly negotiating a Byzantine culture in
which morality, truth and justice are malleable concepts. Codename
Xenophon is a bleak but blackly comic tale that does full justice to
its laconic, Chandleresque heritage.’
Declan Burke in The Irish Times

‘Kanaris has written a little gem, perfect for the beach.’

The Devil’s Road

by
Jean-Pierre Ohl
translated by Mike Mitchell

hile draining a pond during work for the construction of the Stockton to Darlington
W Railway, George Stevenson’s workers discover a female corpse with a dagger
stuck between her ribs – could it be that of Lady Beresford, the French wife of a local
baron who disappeared under mysterious circumstances twenty years earlier? Jean-
Pierre Ohl’s novel is a richly woven tapestry set during the rise of capitalism in England.

The Devil’s Road has a Dickensian range of characters from the indolent liberal lawyer
with a taste for Byron’s poems and madeira wine, his imperturbable clerk Snegg,
the activist worker Davies and the ‘Corporal’, a veteran of the Napoleonic wars and
demonstrator wounded at the Peterloo Massacre – there is even a role for the young
Charles Dickens working in the blacking warehouse.

As well as its vivid picture of English society at a key moment of development, The
Devil’s Road also has elements of the Gothic novel, making it Jean-Pierre Ohl’s homage
to the English tradition of iction.

J ean-Pierre Ohl is a bookseller in Talence near Bordeaux. He

is the author of two novels, Mr Dick or The Tenth Book and
The Lairds of Cromarty, both published in English by Dedalus.

The Price of Dreams

by
Margherita Giacobino
translated by Christine Donougher

M argherita Giacobino’s book is a ictionalised biography/autobiography of Patricia

Highsmith, taking the form of diary entries supposedly written by her, interspersed
with a third-person narrative. It focuses on her psychological and emotional life, with
the emphasis on feelings, relationships and aspirations rather than facts, dates and
events. A lesbian in an era when to be homosexual was to be reviled and discriminated
against, and made to feel guilty and ashamed, Patricia Highsmith struggled with her
sexual identity in this social context, and the book fruitfully explores how this might
have contributed to her creative output.
The title is a reference Patricia Highsmith’s second novel The Price of Salt, a lesbian
romance originally published under a pseudonym after it was rejected by the publisher
of her irst novel. It was not until 1990 that Patricia Highsmith agreed to its reissue
under her own name, with the new title Carol.
.

M argherita Giacobino was born in 1952 and lives in Turin. She is a writer, journalist
and translator. She has translated – among others – Emily Bronte, Gustave
Flaubert, Margaret Atwood, Dorothy Allison, Audre Lorde. She
made her debut in 1993 with the novel Un’ Americana a Parigi
written under the pseudonym of Elinor Rigby.

Her novel Portrait of a Family with a Fat Daughter, published

in Italy in 2015, was published by Dedalus to great acclaim in
2017 and was Margaret Drabble’s Book of the Year in The Times
Literary Supplement.

Cleopatra goes to Prison

by
Claudia Durastanti
translated by Christine Donougher

I n Caterina, Claudia Durastanti presents us with a Cleopatra for our times – not an
exotic queen courted by two lovers with the fate of an empire in their hands but a
young would-be ballet dancer who now works as a cleaner in a down-at-heel hotel. This
is the Rome of the underclass, of illegal immigrants, gypsies, and sex shops where life
is a struggle for dysfunctional families and nothing comes easy, except disappointment.

Every Thursday Caterina visits her boyfriend Aurelio in Rebibbia prison in Rome,
where, following a mysterious tip-off to the police, he is being held in custody under
suspicion of pimping the strippers in the nightclub he was running. What would Aurelio
say if he knew that she went straight from the prison to meet the policeman who arrested
him, and that he is now her lover?

Caterina’s life is dificult and her environment challenging but she is a survivor and
takes everything life throws at her without complaint. Caterina is very much a heroine
for our times.

C laudia Durastanti is a writer and literary translator based in

London. Her critically acclaimed debut novel Un giorno
verrò a lanciare sassi alla tua inestra won the Premio Mondello
Giovani in 2010.

Her writing has been featured in the Los Angeles Review of

Books, Nero Magazine and Rolling Stone Italia. Currently she’s
a contributor to La Repubblica.

Venice Noir:
The Dark History of the
Lagoons
by
Isabella Panido
translated by Christine Donougher

T he identity of Venice, Queen of the Adriatic, is inseparable from the waters of the
lagoon by which she is surrounded and from which she rises like a mirage.

When it might seem that everything there is to say about this endlessly captivating city
has already been said, the Venetian-born writer Isabella Panido adopts a circumventory
approach. Avoiding the obvious, escaping the crowds, she takes us on an exploration
of those waters that since time immemorial have been Venice’s refuge and defence,
visiting some of its many islands (the names of a few – Fisolo, Sant’Arian, Lio Piccolo,
San Secondo – will be unknown even to the most assiduous visitors to the city), and
introducing us to their elusive magic and their well-kept secrets.

We learn of haunting illusions created by the peculiar geography of the lagoon under
certain climatic conditions; of the devastating plague of 1630 that led to the loss of
47,000 Venetian lives over a period of sixteen months; of the destruction by a bitter
north wind of baskets full of carefully harvested soft-shelled crabs and their seemingly
miraculous rebirth and metamorphosis from one delicacy into another; of thwarted
yearnings and ambitions, of jealous rivalries and revenge, of the terrible price of vanity
– and much, much more.

I sabella Panido, who has a degree in Russian Literature and

Language, lives and works in Venice and the Veneto.

An arts correspondent for the Corriere del Veneto, she is also

a poet (her poetry has been translated into English, Spanish,
Slovenian and Croatian), a translator from English and Russian,
and a literary critic for various publications.

The Madwoman of
Serrano
by
Dina Salústio
translated by Jethro Soutar

T he irst novel by a female author to be published in Cape Verde, and the irst to be
translated into English, The Madwoman of Serrano is a magical tale of rural ideals
and urban ambition, underpinned by an exploration of female empowerment.

Serrano is an isolated village where a madwoman roams. But is she really mad or is she
marginalised because she is wise and a woman? Could her babbling be prophecy? One
day a girl falls from the sky and is found in the forest by Jeronimo. The villagers are
suspicious of the newcomer, but Jeronimo falls in love with her. When she gives birth
and disappears, Jeronimo takes care of the child, naming her Filipa. Years later, estranged
from Jeronimo after being taken from the village in mysterious circumstances, Filipa is
a successful businesswoman in the city. Her memories of growing up in Serrano and her
friendship with the madwoman become increasingly vivid.

When the madwoman’s warnings come true and Serrano’s sheltered existence is
threatened by plans to build a dam, Jeronimo heads for the city himself. Will he and
Filipa inally be reunited?

ina Salústio was born on the island of Santo Antão, Cape

D Verde, in 1941. She is the author of two novels, A Louca
de Serrano (The Madwoman of Serrano) in 1998 and Filhas
do Vento (Daughters of the Wind) in 2009 and two short-story
collections.

She is a founding member of the Cape Verdean Writers

Association and has been awarded the PEN Galicia Prize for

An English Family
by
Júlio Dinis
translated by Margaret Jull Costa

M r Richard Whitestone is English and a successful businessman based for many

years in Oporto. Despite his many years’ residence in Portugal, he remains
resolutely English in his tastes and in his accent. His favourite reading is Tristram
Shandy, which he reads and re-reads constantly.

A widower for many years, he lives with his children Jenny and Carlos. Jenny is the
angel of the house and wise beyond her twenty-one years. Carlos is eighteen and much
given to carousing with his friends and to falling – very briely – in love with whichever
pretty girl he sees. He is the despair of his father, but his sister believes in him despite
all, because she knows he has a good heart. One day, during Carnival, Carlos meets a
young woman at a masked ball and falls in love. As ever, the path of true love runs very
erratically indeed.

J úlio Dinis is sometimes referred to as the Portuguese Trollope, and this, the irst
novel he wrote is a keen-eyed evocation of the narrow world of nineteenth-century
bourgeois Oporto, but also, and more importantly, it is a brilliant account of family life,
in all its lawed beauty.
Júlio Dinis was the pseudonym of Joaquim Guilherme Gomes
Coelho. Born in Oporto in 1839, he went on to train and practise
as a doctor. However, when diagnosed with tuberculosis, he
resigned his post as professor at the medical school in Oporto
and began writing novels. His irst novel, published initially
in serial form, met with instant success, and his works remain
popular to this day. He died when he was only thirty-one. This is
the irst English translation of his work.

Modern Art
by
J.-K. Huysmans
translated by Brendan King

F irst published in 1883, but never before translated into English, this collection of
J.-K. Huysmans’ art criticism reveals the author of Against Nature to be as combative
in his aesthetic opinions as he was in his literary ones. At a time when the Impressionists
were still being ridiculed, or worse still ignored, Huysmans deiantly proclaimed Degas
to be the best painter in France. He illed his pages with analyses of the works of artists
whose genius and popularity have been conirmed by time: Gustave Caillebotte, Paul
Gauguin, Mary Cassatt, Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Odilon Redon and Gustave
Moreau.
Huysmans intersperses his reviews of these independent artists with those of the annual
Oficial Salon, whose conventional and dryly academic works he lambasts with his
customary gusto and invective. This is the irst complete translation of L’Art moderne,
and includes two hundred black and white illustrations, notes and a glossary of artists.

ith the publication of À Rebours (Against Nature) in 1884, J.-K. Huysmans (1847-
W 1907), became one of the most famous authors of his day.
Dedalus has published ten books by J.-K. Huysmans, eight in
new translations by Brendan King: Marthe, Parisian Sketches,
The Vatard Sisters, Stranded (En Rade), Drifting, Against
Nature, Là-Bas and The Cathedral. In addition to En Route and
The Oblate of St Benedict. Robert Baldick’s The Life of J.-K.
Huysmans was published by Dedalus in the autumn of 2005,

 VLADIMIR SHAROV

In Memory of Vladimir Sharov

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of
Vladimir Sharov (1952-2018), one of the true greats of Russian
iction. He was a genius, ranking alongside the likes of Tolstoy,
Dostoyevsky and Chekov. He will be sadly missed.

He received many major Russian Prizes, including The Russian

Booker Prize and The Big Book Prize. Two of his novels have
been translated into English by Oliver Ready: Before and
During and The Rehearsals, both of which have won the Read
Russia Translation Prize for contemporary iction.

Dedalus is proud to be Vladimir Sharov’s English language

publisher.

‘Before and During remains a disorienting read. The novel invokes

real historical events and people (Tolstoy, Madame de Staël, Saint John
of Kronstadt, Alexander Scriabin and Stalin, among others), swirling
them into a phantasmagoric alternative chronology. Stories germinate
within other stories, unfolding in astonishing variations. The clarity
and directness of Sharov’s prose – wonderfully rendered by Oliver
Ready – are disconcerting, almost hallucinatory. His writing is at times
funny, at times so piercingly moving, so brimful of unassuaged sorrow,
that it causes a double-take.’
Rachel Polonsky in The New York Review of Books

£12.99 ISBN 978 1 907650 71 0 348p B. Format

‘Like a stream that has to be traversed at the beginning of a picturesque

mountain walk, the opening of The Rehearsals seems designed to ward
off day-tripping dilettantes. The irst seventy pages consist of different
Soviet professors discoursing on such crowd-pleasers as the nature of
Christ's incarnation and ecumenism in the work of Gogol. This would
seem to be one of those Russian novels that your mother warned you
about – full of philosophy, God and confusing names. But just as the
committed hiker gains access to breathtaking views (and a good work-
out), so the reader is rewarded with an unforgettable experience.’

 Memoirs of a Basque Cow
Bernado Atxaga
translated by Margaret Jull Costa
One dark and stormy night, Mo hears her Inner Voice urging
her to begin writing her memoirs. Having ignored her Inner
Voice’s advice once before, with near-fatal consequences, she
decides, this time, to do as she is told. Mo looks back on her
life, beginning with the crucial moment when she met another
cow, who introduced herself as La Vache qui Rit, and assured
Mo that there was nothing more stupid in this world than a
stupid cow. Mo spends her life trying to prove to her friend that,
despite being a cow, she is not at all stupid. Besides, she has her
Inner Voice and a great desire to live! Set in the aftermath of the
Spanish Civil War, in which defeated Republican supporters are
still being persecuted by victorious Nationalists, Memoirs of a
Basque Cow paints a funny, touching portrait of friendship and
freedom and the sometimes dificult process of inding oneself.

Carlo misses his father. His parents are separated and he lives
with his mother in Germany while his father is back in their
native Palermo. His father is always about to visit but somehow
never quite gets to Germany. Carlo gets tired of waiting and
decides to do something about it, so he sets off for Palermo but
without any money to pay for his fare. He then has a series of
adventures when anything that could go wrong does, but despite
everything, Carlo gets to Palermo. He inds his father who has a
new partner and it is clear his family will never be reunited.
So sadly there is no happy ending and Carlo is sent
back to Germany to be reunited with his mother.

by Margaret Margaret
CostaJull Costa Patterson
& Robin

The stories included in this collection are classics of children’s

literature and have been cherished by generations of Portuguese
children. The author is one of Portugal’s greatest poets and, like
her poetry, these stories are illed with her delight and pleasure
in nature, gardens and the sea, as well as her keen sense of
the magical. Among other things, we encounter dwarves,
diminutive little girls who live on the sea bed, plants that come
alive at night, a tree that lives on long after it has been felled,
and a pilgrim who discovers much more than the Holy Land.
Her themes are, above all, loyalty and friendship. This is the
irst time these stories have been translated into English.

The Strange and Magical Story of Vivaldo Bonim
Bernado Atxaga
translated y Margaret Jull Costa
Afonso Cruz
translated by Margaret Jull Costa

Vivaldo Bonim was a bored book-keeper whose main escape

from the tedium of his work was provided by novels. In
the ofice, he tended to read rather than work, and, one day,
became so immersed in a book that he got lost and disappeared
completely. That, at least, is the version given to Vivaldo’s
son, Elias, by his grandmother. One day, Elias sets off, like a
modern-day Telemachus, in search of the father he never knew.
His journey takes him through the plots of many classic novels,
replete with murders, all-consuming passions, wild beasts
and other literary perils, and the resulting novel is, at once, a
celebration of ilial love, friendship and literature.
