Book excerpt: An unforgettable, unnerving short story about a writer’s life from one of today’s greatest writers—extracted from her upcoming collection, THE ASSASSINATION OF MARGARET THATCHER “One summer at the fag-end of the nineties, I had to go out of London to talk to a literary society, of the sort that must have been old-fashioned when the previous century closed. When the day came, I wondered why I’d agreed to it; but yes is easier than no, and of course when you make a promise you think the time will never arrive . . .” “How Shall I Know You?” is as unsettling and hauntingly written as we have come to expect from Hilary Mantel, one of the world’s most accomplished, acclaimed and garlanded writers. It invites us into the usually hidden recesses of a writer’s life, into her hotel rooms, handbags, frustrations, desires and darkest imaginings.

Book Synopsis You Shall Know Them by : Vercors

Download or read book You Shall Know Them written by Vercors. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CLASSIC FICTION. The Paranthropus ("tropi" for short) are a large tribe of New Guinea cliff-dwellers. Simian in many of their physical characteristics, they are normally erect in stance, though happy to drop to all fours at a moment's notice. Australian wool interests see the tropis as a dream come true--workers who can be trained without benefit of paycheck. Newspaperman Douglas Templemore is an idealist--by killing his son (bred by artificial insemination of a female tropi), he hopes to cause a riot in the realm of race relations. Is he a murderer or merely an owner of a pet, which he has "put to sleep?" As he comes up for trial scientific experts file into the witness box; none agreeing on what constitutes a human being. Is man to be defined by his jawbone? By his rational capacity? By his grasp of metaphysics? Or is the judge right when he muses (without a trace of cynicism) that the tropis must be animals because they are not cannibals?

Book Synopsis How Shall I Know You?: A Short Story by : Hilary Mantel

Download or read book How Shall I Know You?: A Short Story written by Hilary Mantel. This book was released on 2014-08-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "She looked up and smiled. She had a face of feral sweetness, its color yellow; her eyes were long and dark, her mouth a taut bow, her nostrils upturned as if she were scenting the wind." In "How Shall I Know You?," a melancholic and ailing writer reluctantly travels east of London to give a lecture before a literary society. Mr. Simister, the organization's secretary, lures the world-weary novelist turned biographer with promises of a modest stipend and lodging at a charming bed-and-breakfast for her trouble. Nevertheless, on that rainy day she meets Mr. Simister at the train station, she wonders why she ever agreed to come in the first place. Driving past steel-shuttered windows and Day-Glo banners, Mr. Simister takes the writer to her hotel for the evening, which turns out to be crumbling and isolated rather than picturesque. As she crosses the threshold into the dank stench of Eccles House she is faced with the feral porter, Louise, and suffers through an evening that may be more than she bargained for. From Hilary Mantel's brilliant and darkly comic collection of contemporary stories, The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher, comes a tale told with her distinctive blend of subversive wit and gimlet-eyed characterization. "How Shall I Know You?" showcases the extraordinary genius of Hilary Mantel, called one of our "greatest living novelists" (NPR).
