Poetry. California Interest. Music. Toy Fabels is Cass McCombs' debut poetry collection. Reading Toy Fabels feels like traveling through McCombs' singular itinerant experiences—high and low voices merge, as childhood and adulthood, the east and west coasts, paganism and religion, twist into each other. A central theme is memory, especially a sort of half-remembered, half-obscured—but never idealized—landscape of Northern California. This remembered landscape is always in flux, shaping McCombs' poetic language. Within this unique place, Toy Fabels features a number of unnamed narrators—from delinquent graffiti artists telling absurdist tales, to Marquis de Sade's shadow and echo, to a disembodied voice that provides the mythic grounding for the collection. Illustrated by McCombs, Toy Fabels' brilliance lies in its embrace of the inexplicable and the ephemeral.

Neuware -Zum 80. Geburtstag von Peter Handke die Neuauflage eines seiner Prosastücke - mit Faksimiles der Handschrift und Fotografien von Isolde Ohlbaum.Die Esche, deren Individualität Peter Handke in diesem Band mit großer Genauigkeit beschreibt, erkundet, porträtiert, steht in einem Garten in der Schackstraße in der Mitte Münchens. Er nimmt ihre Form von der Ferne in Augenschein und ihren Stamm (und das Leben auf ihm) von der Nähe, ihn interessieren die Äste und das Laub, aber auch ihr Charakter und ihre Haltung. Es ist eine Binsenwahrheit, dass kein Baum dem anderen gleiche, aber wie diese Einmaligkeit beschreiben Da die Esche in ihrer ganzen Schönheit und Größe existiert, hat Isolde Ohlbaum sie von allen Seiten aufgenommen: Auf ihren Bildern kann man sehen, wie der Baum sich reckt, um sich mit dem Siegestor zu messen.In seinem Nachwort beschreibt Michael Krüger den Standort des Baumes als Mittelpunkt der Welt. Der Band erscheint zum 80. Geburtstag des Dichters Peter Handke, dessen lange Blicke in das unerschöpfliche Buch der Natur mit zum Schönsten in seinem Werk gehören. 79 pp. Deutsch

Jan Fabel thought he was finished with death. Instead, while he is preparing for a new career outside the police, a Cologne murder detective asks for his help in tracking down the Carnival Cannibal, a terrifying serial killer who has killed each year for three years at the start of Cologne's world-famous annual Carnival. Maria Klee, Fabel's deputy, is close to mental breakdown and on extended sick leave. Unknown to anyone, Maria also heads for Cologne to hunt down a different, even more dangerous killer. One with whom she has a score to settle. Taras Buslenko, a Ukrainian special-forces commander prepares his hand-picked undercover spetznaz unit for a '-black' operation into Cologne. Their aim: to end, with extreme prejudice, the rule of an ex-pat Ukrainian crime-boss of legendary cruelty. Their orders: to let nothing or nobody get in their way. Three paths converging on Cologne at Carnival at a time when the world is traditionally turned on its head and Chaos rules. And everybody hides behind a mask. Fabel finds himself on a trail of betrayal and vengeance, violence and death. And once more faces his greatest enemy: the true Master of the Carnival

'The heavens are stained with the blood of men, As the Valkyries sing their song.' Njal's Saga Jan Fabel is a troubled man. His relationships with the women in his life are becoming increasingly complicated: his partner, Susanne, is looking for a deeper commitment. His daughter is considering joining the police and his ex-wife holds him responsible. If that weren't enough, after a gap of ten years, a female serial killer - the Angel of St Pauli - again makes the headlines when an English pop star is found in Hamburg's red-light district, dying of the most savage knife wounds. Links emerge with a series of apparently unrelated events. A journalist murdered in Norway. The death of a Serbian gangster. And a long-forgotten project by East Germany's Stasi conceived at the height of the Cold War, involving a highly-trained group of female assassins, known by the codename Valkyrie. Fabel's hunt for the truth will bring him up against the most terrifyingly efficient professional killer. The ultimate avenging angel. Fabel soon realizes the real danger he faces in hunting the Valkyrie ...That he might just catch up with her.
