Что бы произошло с миром, если бы женщины вдруг стали физически сильнее мужчин? Теперь мужчины являются слабым полом. И все меняется: представ-ления о гендере, силе, слабости, правах, обязанностях и приличиях, структура власти и геополитические расклады. Эти перемены вместе со всем миром про-живают проповедница новой религии, дочь лондонского бандита, нигерийский стрингер и американская чиновница с политическими амбициями — смену па-радигмы они испытали на себе первыми. “Сила” Наоми Алдерман — “Рассказ Служанки” для новой эпохи, это остроумная и трезвая до жестокости история о том, как именно изменится мир, если гендерный баланс сил…

Naomi Alderman's "The Lessons" reflects the truth that the lessons life teaches often come too late. Hidden away in an Oxford back street is a crumbling Georgian mansion, unknown to any but the few who possess a key to its unassuming front gate. Its owner is the mercurial, charismatic Mark Winters, whose rackety trust-fund upbringing has left him as troubled and unpredictable as he is wildly promiscuous. Mark gathers around him an impressionable group of students: glamorous Emmanuella, who always has a new boyfriend in tow; Franny and Simon, best friends and occasional lovers; musician Jess, whose calm exterior hides passionate depths. And…

It was a time of brutal tyranny and occupation. Young men and women took to the streets to protest. Dictators put them down with iron force. Rumours spread. Rebels attacked the greatest empire the world had ever known. The empire gathered its forces to make those rebels pay.
And in the midst of all of that, one preacher by the name of Jesus died. And either something miraculous happened or someone lied.
This is the truth according to "The Liars' Gospel".

Okie's fifteen. She lives in New York. She's got a few problems: she's failing geography, her dad's a wimp, and her mother, Sumatra, is a stone cold bitch. But things get a lot worse when Sumatra turns into a zombie and eats Okie's dad.

Clio, Okie's grandmother, lives in Toronto; but since the zombie apocalypse, Toronto's a lot further away than it used to be. Clio suggests that Okie transport Sumatra across the border, because family is family. But coaching Okie by cellphone isn't easy, and Clio has some zombies of her own to contend with. Luckily she has some garden tools.

Naomi Alderman and Margaret Atwood team up for this unusual two-hander. Encompassing love, death, sex, and the meaning of family, The Happy Zombie Sunrise Home will surprise, delight, and convince you of the vital importance of keeping ready supplies of rhubarb and mini-wieners in your freezer at all times.
