“Reading Wright is a steep, stinging pleasure.”—Dwight Garner, New York Times In this incisive, satirical collection of three classic American novels by Charles Wright—hailed by the New York Times as “malevolent, bitter, glittering”—a young, black intellectual from the South struggles to make it in New York City. This special compilation includes a foreword by acclaimed poet and novelist Ishmael Reed, who calls Wright, “Richard Pryor on paper.” As fresh and poignant as when originally published in the sixties and seventies, The Messenger, The Wig, and Absolutely Nothing to get Alarmed About form Charles Wright’s remarkable New York City trilogy. By turns brutally funny and starkly real, these three autobiographical novels create a memorable portrait of a young, working-class, black intellectual—a man caught between the bohemian elite of Greenwich Village and the dregs of male prostitution and drug abuse. Wright’s fiction is searingly original in bringing to life a special time, a special place, and the remarkable story of a man living in two worlds. This updated edition shines a spotlight once again on this important writer—a writer whose work is so crucial to our times.

Jesus Is Adam is not just another book on the shelf. Its title, echoing above Caravaggio’s evocative painting of Jesus and the incredulity of doubting Thomas, beckons readers to delve deeper into the true identity of Jesus. Despite the vast number of Christians worldwide, many remain unaware of the profound connection between Jesus and Adam. With over 2.56 billion Christians globally, including 27.3 million in England alone, the significance of this revelation cannot be understated. This book isn’t solely for Christians. It aims to enlighten everyone, from atheists and agnostics to Muslims and beyond. By unraveling the life and teachings of Jesus, it presents a compelling case for understanding him as Adam. Given the universal reverence for Jesus, a book that offers such a fresh perspective is bound to captivate readers worldwide. Dive in and discover the simplicity and profundity of Jesus Is Adam.

Duty isn’t all that drives him… David, Marquis of Blackwood, needs an heir, but his requirements in a wife are precise. Lady Nicola Wyndham appears to fit the bill—she’s older, likes country living, has managed her father’s household for some time and nothing detrimental is known about her. But when he coolly proposes, Nicola’s brief look of hurt prompts him to a sudden show of warmth. It gives Nicola hope that they might have a good marriage and she accepts. But she has a secret—which he is bound to find out—and which goes against every idea David has of his future wife….

Leaving family, friends, and all her belongings behind, single mother Mandy, flees from the Netherlands with her two young children. Secretly emigrating to Australia, she escapes her vicious perpetrator to start a new life in a country she had never set foot in before. Mandy’s story spans the globe. In her childhood, she grew up in Africa and her ex-husband, Janus, originally from India, married Mandy to start a new life in Europe. After ten years of marriage, when Mandy finally announced the divorce, she faced Janus’ faked suicide, attempted kidnapping of their children to India and domestic violence. Mandy shielded her children from the ‘ice aged’ child protection system in the Netherlands, which blindly stood up for Janus’ rights with no regard for the suffering this created. To fight for a new life in Australia with her children, Mandy digs deep inside herself. She faces abuse of international law, fighting every step of the way—for her children. They are her everything. A disaster is inevitable, yet, there is hope...
