    Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer

  • Jacket image for Chicago

    Chicago by Real City

    Price: £9.99    Add to Basket
    A vibrant, contemporary guide to the city with plenty of colour photographs and excellent maps. Feels like an Eyewitness guide with more of a focus on shopping, nightlife and entertainment rather than purely culture and history.
  • Jacket image for The Adventures of Augie March

    The Adventures of Augie March by Saul Bellow

    Price: £10.99    Add to Basket
    Both a perfect introduction to Saul Bellow and a snapshot of 1930s Chicago, this is the story of a young Jewish boy growing up in a city stricken by the Great Depression wheeling and dealing his way from one barely legal job to another, falling in love and growing up.
  • Jacket image for Then We Came to the End

    Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris

    Price: £7.99    Add to Basket
    A satire set in a Chicago advertising agency which describes an all too familiar corporate environment from the theft of office chairs to the loneliness of the lobby porter. With dry wit and occasional tragedy Joshua Ferris explores the death of the American dream.
  • Jacket image for Legend of a Suicide

    Legend of a Suicide by David Vann

    Price: £7.99    Add to Basket
    Five interlinking novellas which explore the effect of a father's suicide on his son. Bleak yet extraordinary fiction and wonderfully evocative of Alaska.
  • Jacket image for Alaska's Inside Passage

    Alaska's Inside Passage by Fodor's

    Price: £13.99    Add to Basket
    A beautifully-presented guide with breath-taking photographs, where practical information sits alongside literary extracts and detailed cultural and historical information. As much a delightful read as a guidebook.
  • Jacket image for Into the Wild

    Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer

    Price: £8.99    Add to Basket
    In 1992 the death of a Chris McCandless in the Alaskan wilderness prompted Jon Krakauer to investigate this boy's unconventional life and death. This moving and evocative book is a powerful meditation on the wilds of North America, on those who feel drawn to it and how, eventually, they long for home.
  • Jacket image for Fugitive Pieces

    Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels

    Price: £7.99    Add to Basket
    Described by John Berger as 'the most important book I have read for forty years', Fugitive Pieces is a heartbreaking, poetic story about two Jewish men attempting to overcome devastating loss.
