THE QUEUE
by Basma Abdel Aziz

BARTLEBY THE SCRIVENER
by Herman Melville
Set in the mid-19th century on New York City’s Wall Street, it was also, perhaps, Melville’s most prescient story: what if a young man caught up in the rat race of commerce finally just said, “I would prefer not to”?

WITTGENSTEIN JR.
by Lars Iyer
The unruly undergraduates at Cambridge have a nickname for their new lecturer: Wittgenstein Jr. He’s a melancholic, tormented genius who seems determined to make them grasp the very essence of philosophical thought. An ambitious novel yet—as impressive, inventive and entertaining as it is extraordinarily stirring.
I AWAIT THE DEVIL’S COMING
by
Mary MaclaneIn the early 20th century, MacLane’s name was synonymous with sexuality; she is widely hailed as being one of the earliest American feminist authors, and critics at the time praised her work for its daringly open and confessional style. A shocking, brave and intellectually challenging diary of a 19-year-old girl living in Butte, Montana in 1902.
