Author THE FURIES Lowe, Katie

Fiction Thriller

HarperCollins, UK, unscheduled CaskieMushens Publisher Rights

Category Genre MS: Complete Edited Material

Summary

In 1998, a sixteen-year-old girl is found dead on school property, dressed in white and posed on a swing, with no known cause of death. The novel opens with this image, as related to us by the narrator, Violet, looking back on the night it happened from the present day, before returning to relate the series of events leading up to the girl's murder.

Description

After an accident involving her Dad and sister, Violet joins Elm Hollow Academy, a private girls school in a quiet coastal town, which has an unpleasant history as the site of famous 17th century witch trials. Violet quickly finds herself invited to become the fourth member of an advanced study group, alongside Robin, Grace, and Alex - led by their charismatic art teacher, Annabel.

While Annabel claims her classes aren't related to ancient rites and rituals - warning the girls off the topic, describing it as little more than mythology - the girls start to believe that magic is real, and that they can harness it. But when the body of a former member of the society - Robin's best friend, with whom Violet shares an uncanny resemblance - is found dead on campus nine months after she disappeared, Violet begins to wonder whether she can trust her friends, teachers, or even herself.

Katie Lowe has an MPhil in Literature and Modernity and a BA(Hons) in English, plus a half-completed PhD on the influence of the rise of the far-right on Franco-American literature of the 1930s-50s. In 2012, Katie started her blog, Fat Girl PhD - writing about body image, feminism and health, and finding an audience across outlets including the Guardian, Independent, and the BBC, as well as a number of media in the US, Canada and Australia. She averages 20,000 hits a month.

Author EL CUADERNO TACHADO - THE CROSSED OUT NOTEBOOK Giacobone, Nicolas

Fiction General Fiction

Reservoir Books, Latin America, 2018-06 Chase Literary Publisher Rights

Category Genre Material

Summary

Psychological thriller in the form of a diary by a failed Argentinian novelist and screenwriter who has been kidnapped by a world-famous director who demands that he writes for him a masterpiece. By an author who is also an Academy Award winning screenwriter and co-writer of "Birdman".

Description

Pablo, a failed Argentinian novelist-turned-screenwriter, has been kidnapped by "the greatest Latin American film director of all time" and is kept in a basement where he is expected to work, day after day, on what is expected to be a great, world-changing script.

El Cuaderno Tachado (The Crossed Out Notebook) is Pablo's diary of this time; being brought food by a maid; being threatened with a gun; vociferously arguing with the director about what he's written the previous day. But as Pablo begins to suffer writer's block on the script his diary transforms with revelations about his imaginative life, the nature of writing novels versus screenplays, the Beatles, and from the scriptwriting greats and the history of cinema to masturbation. "It's incredible" he says, "the amount of things I can do in this basement that are not writing the script I'm supposed to be writing." What follows is the diary and the lives of the two men and their absurdist showdown becomes, in the tradition of Beckett, David Markson, and George Saunders; a funny, dry, and unexpected ode to writers, or any artist, whose brilliance doesn't come easily.

The novel places an interesting emphasis on the act of writing, with reference to Flannery O'Connor's line that "I never know what I think until I have read what I've written about it." And the Milos Forman film Amadeus has a suggestively central position in the book segueing into the theme of a working writer 'who is not a genius, who is not Mozart.' El Cuaderno Tachado emerges as a short, crazy ode to writers, or any artist, whose brilliance doesn't come easily.

Nicolás Giacobone was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1975. He shared an Academy Award and Golden Globe for co-writing Birdman. He is the author of the book of stories ALGÚN CRISTO. He co-wrote the screenplays for Océano, which was directed by Pascual Sisto; Biutiful, which was directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, and nominated for 'Best Original Screenplay' by the Cinema Writers Circle Awards in Spain, the Goya Awards, and the Satellite Awards; The Last Elvis, which was directed by Armando Bo, and awarded the 'Silver Condor for Best Original Screenplay' by the Argentine Film Critics Association; Currently, Giacobone has taken on the roles of television writer and co-creator as he develops the series "The One Percent" for MRC.

Author MONEY FOR NOTHING The Dreamers, Fraudsters, and Corrupt Politicians Who Invented the Modern Idea of Money, Bankrupted a Nation, and Made the World Rich

Levenson, Tom

Non-Fiction History/Politics/Current Affairs

Random House, New York, 2018 (unscheduled) Fletcher Publisher Rights

Category Genre Proposal/Outline Material

Summary

The story of the South Sea Bubble, the speculative frenzy and ultimate financial crisis that gripped Britain in the early 18th Century, plunging it and its population into economic disasterand the first modern stock market crash.

Description

1720s London: The Crown is crippled with debt after decades of war. Enter the upstart South Sea Company, run by a savvy entrepreneur who skirts the edges of financial propriety, and who comes bearing a grand plan to consolidate the government's debt and make the Company's directors a fortune.

What follows is a mix of an extensive bribing scheme, insider activity, fraud, and a speculative frenzy involving complex new forms of trades, the misuse and abuse which the greed of the era only fueled. At its end many Britons were left in financial ruin. Politicians found themselves in jail, and faith in the capitalistic system could have been abandonedand. But, it wasn't.

Thanks to Britain's first Prime Minister, the kingdom made its way through the wreckage of the South Sea Bubble to emerge with the first truly modern, reliable, and stable financial exchange. Britain charged forward into the future of finance, surpassing its continental rivals and freeing the tiny island nation to unleash its nfluence on the world for centuries to come.

In the vein of Liaquat Ahamed's Lords of Finance, MONEY FOR NOTHING is a tremendous blend of history, science, economics, business and politics against the backdrop of the Scientific Revolution. Financiers took leaps in mathematics and science to reimagine a financial system that echoes our own financial crisis of 2008. This is the perfect narrative history that resonates with enduring themes our present and future.

Tom Levenson is Professor of Science Writing at MIT. He is the author of "Einstein in Berlin" and "Newton and the Counterfeiter". He is the winner of Walter P. Kistler Science Documentary Film Award, Peabody Award (shared), New York Chapter Emmy, and the AAAS/Westinghouse award. His articles and reviews have appeared in The Atlantic, the Boston Globe, Discover, and The Sciences. He is winner of the 2005 National Academies Communications Award for Origins.
