Genova, an online columnist for the National Alzheimer’s Association, has a brisk style and lays out the facts of the disease-statistics, tests, drugs, clinical trials-plainly, often rather technically. Stricken much earlier than most by this progressive, degenerative disease for which there is no cure, Alice loses her profession, independence, clarity and contact with the world with shocking rapidity in a narrative that sometimes reads more like a dramatized documentary than three-dimensional fiction. In 24 months, 49-year-old Harvard psychology professor Alice Howland exchanges the role of high-achieving teacher, wife and mother of three for that of a disoriented, inarticulate, forgetful shell of her former self. First novel efficiently showcases the experience of developing early-onset Alzheimer’s. He was previously an assistant to TANAKA Yasuki. Kouhei Horikoshi is a graduate of Nagoya University of Arts.

HORIKOSHI Kouhei Name (in native language): 堀越耕平 Associated Names: Kouhei Horikoshi Born 1986 in the prefecture Aichi, Horikoshi first attracted attention in the second half of 2006 when he entered Shueisha's 72th Tezuka Award for Newcomers with his one shot "Nukegara" and made it to the final six, where he gained himself an "Honorable Mention". The book, while emblematic of his short work in particular, doesn't break new ground like his recent novels, 1Q84 and Killing Commendatore, but it's an enjoyable read that goes down easily. Cats are scarce, but a sophisticated talking monkey fills the feline gap. The eight stories in First Person Singular, his first collection translated into English since Men Without Women (2017), are classic Murakami, filled with multiple recurrent obsessions - jazz, classical music, Beatles, baseball, and memories of perplexing young love. In book after book, his narrators (invariably male) draw us in with mystifying tales of odd experiences that even years later remain "permanently unsolved, like some ancient riddle." His fiction, whether long or short, highlights life's essential strangeness and unfathomability. Haruki Murakami is a master of the mesmerizing head-scratcher. The book chronicles the exploits of a generation of scientists working at the 20th Century’s greatest laboratory and explores the methods and importance of technological innovation. My first book, The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation, was published by Penguin Press in 2012. To put it slightly differently: I’m trying to pay close attention to certain aspects of our past so we can better understand the present, and perhaps the future. In my books, however, I’m more interested in telling the stories of historical endeavors, or historical episodes, which have had a significant but underappreciated influence on our lives. In my magazine and newspaper writing I usually focus on contemporary issues in science, technology, and business. I’m a book author as well as a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine my journalism and reviews also appear in Wired, The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and a number of other print and digital publications. They all tend to behave as we imagine hippies are supposed to behave-they take drugs, skinny dip in a river, and show an interest in ecstatic experiences. There are 20 people on the bus, including a Frenchman and his daughter (occasionally mistaken for man and wife) as well as Rayan, a charismatic Irishman, and his stunning girlfriend, Mirthe. She’s at peace with solitude, and her dream involves “traveling to Nepal.to find a cave and remain there alone until her teeth fell out, her hair became white.” Meeting Paulo complicates both of their lives, however, for she would like him to be her travel companion on a bus trip from Amsterdam to Kathmandu, through Austria, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, and beyond. Karla is Dutch and a Protestant, and she yearns to see the world from a wider perspective. They meet, appropriately enough, in Dam Square, perhaps the hippie center of the cosmos. This character has linked up with Karla in Amsterdam in September 1970. While the narrative is written in the third person, it doesn’t take a great leap of imagination to identify some aspects of a character named “Paulo” (also referred to as “the Brazilian”) with the author. The novel reads rather like a series of impressions clustered around a trip (no pun intended) through Europe and toward Kathmandu. Prolific Brazilian author Coelho is back with another novel, loosely based on his experiences growing up (a problematic phrase) in the psychedelic 1960s and '70s. But gaining the trust of the locals is trickier than she expected. So when her thirteenth birthday arrives, she's eager to follow a witch's tradition: choose a new town to call home for one year.Brimming with confidence, Kiki flies to the seaside village of Koriko and expects that her powers will easily bring happiness to the townspeople. Half-witch Kiki never runs from a challenge. Soar into the modern classic about a young witch and her clever cat-the inspiration for the Hiyao Miyazaki film that became a phenomenom!

In Makumbi’s sweeping intergenerational tale, “history sts on everything, howling,” producing layers of complexity that resist the postcolonial impetus to make oneself legible to empire. In many ways, it is this lack of difference that Kirabo and the women in her life-from her grandmother to her stepmother to her missing biological mother-must contend with at every turn. For example, Kirabo’s favorite aunt calls her vagina “your flower,” while a girl at her missionary boarding school terms it “her beautiful.” But as one woman astutely reflects: “Worship, persecution, where is the difference?” In Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi’s expansive coming-of-age novel, we follow Kirabo as she makes her way from rural Uganda to urban Kampala-a deeply embodied experience in which the language surrounding her body plays a crucial role. The question of how women’s bodies are articulated in “a patriarchy that cannot make up its mind whether to fall on its knees in worship…or flee the crisis” is at the heart of A Girl is a Body of Water.
