John of John: The instant Sunday Times bestseller from the Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain

"The stunning new novel from the Booker Prize-winning, Sunday Times-bestselling author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo, read by Scottish actor Lorne MacFadyen. An Oprah's Book Club pick "Lorne MacFadyen narrates Stuart's extraordinarily beautiful novel of love, secrecy, loneliness, and pride in a voice rich with the accents of the Outer Hebrides." Kirkus Out of money and with little to show for his art school education, John-Calum Macleod takes the ferry home to the island of Harris to find that not much has changed except for him. In the windswept croft where he grew up, Cal resumes his old life, caught between the two poles of his childhood: his father John, a sheep farmer, weaver, and pillar of their local Presbyterian church, and his Glaswegian grandmother Ella, who has kept a faltering peace with her son-in-law for decades. While Cal wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home, John is dismayed by his son's long hair and how he seems unwilling to be Saved. As the seasons pass, everything is poised to change as the threads holding together the fragile community become increasingly entangled. 'This summer's bestseller' - The Times 'This book is special' - Colm Tóibín 'Passionate, liberating, and gorgeous' - Min Jin Lee 'Brilliant and rare' - Ann Patchett 'A masterpiece' - Elaine Feeney 'A fierce, glorious sting of a novel' - Lauren Groff John of John is the heartbreaking story of a young man's return home and how the bonds of family life are torn by the weight of expectation. It confirms Douglas Stuart as one of the great British writers at work today."

[German] - John of John (ungekürzt) German Ediiton

"Ohne Geld und mit wenig vorzuweisen nach seiner Ausbildung an der Kunsthochschule, nimmt Cal die Fähre nach Hause auf die Insel Harris und all das, vor dem er nach Edinburgh geflüchtet war, ist wieder da: das karge Leben auf den Hebriden, der windgepeitschte Kreislauf aus Schafzucht und Nächten am Webstuhl, die Enge der Inselgemeinschaft. Sein Vater hat ihn nach Hause in sein altes Leben beordert. John, dem er all sein Wissen über Farben und Wolle verdankt, dessen Hingabe als Tweed-Weber er liebt und dessen presbyterianische Strenge er hasst. Sie sind einander so nah und kennen sich so wenig, blind für das wohlgehütete Geheimnis des anderen. Niemals könnte Cal dem Vater von seiner Sehnsucht nach einem Partner erzählen, wo dieser schon seine langen Haare als Sünde ahndet. Stattdessen sucht Cal immer mehr die Nähe von Innes, Johns sanftem bestem Freund, während sich die Fäden, die ihre fragile Gemeinschaft zusammenhalten, immer dichter verweben. Ein großer Roman über Verpflichtung und Verblendung, Liebe und Scham und die verwandelnde Kraft der Wahrheit."

SUDDENLY: Ask why?

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. We take a look at the massive changes occurring in our society, with the effects of the pandemic, medical attitude to change, public fear, distorted perceptions of change and what to do, combined with the negative approach used by commercial media to hide all those bad pandemic figures from us. I question what we are being told and explain why 'they' the government want to keep us in the dark. The public is being sold a concept that suits the 'new world order' who want to have total control."

[German] - Young Mungo (Ungekürzte Lesung)

"Für die hypermaskuline Welt der Arbeiterviertel im Glasgow der 90er Jahre ist Mungo zu hübsch und zu sanft. Sein Bruder Hamish, gefürchteter Bandenführer, will ihn zum Mann machen und schleift ihn zu den brutalen Kämpfen zwischen Protestanten und Katholiken - nur wer hart genug ist, kann hier überleben. Dann trifft Mungo auf James und mit ihm kann er sein, wie er ist. Mit ihm lernt er ein Begehren kennen, das geächtet ist, das ihn mit Scham erfüllt, aber auch mit Glück, das er selbst vor seiner Schwester Jodie verleugnen muss, mit der er sonst alles teilt. Denn die Liebe, die zwischen den Jungen wächst, ist lebensgefährlich - und zugleich ihre Rettung. Ein großartiger Roman über Liebe in einer von Gewalt geprägten homophoben Welt und die Verheißung von Aufbruch und Befreiung."

Douglas Stuart (Author), Julian Horeyseck (Narrator)

[Spanish] - Un lugar para Mungo

"REGRESA EL GANADOR DEL PREMIO BOOKER POR HISTORIA DE SHUGGIE BAIN «Un lugar para Mungo lo confirma: Douglas Stuart es un genio». Ron Charles, The Washington Post «Un puñetazo directo al corazón». Publishers Weekly A sus quince años, Mungo, un adolescente con una sensibilidad diferente al resto de los chicos del vecindario, vive en un barrio obrero del Glasgow de la era post-Thatcher, en el seno de una familia protestante: sin padre, con una madre alcohólica y un hermano que representa todo lo que él odia. En un ambiente masculinizado, rodeado de paro y peleas callejeras, solo cuenta con el apoyo y el cuidado de su hermana, Jodie. Tras un altercado familiar, su madre decide enviar a Mungo de pesca con dos desconocidos de Alcohólicos Anónimos para que hagan de él un hombre de provecho. De camino a un lago del oeste de Escocia con esos extraños cuyas bromas de borrachos esconden un pasado turbio, Mungo solo piensa en regresar al lado de su amigo James, el único lugar donde ha descubierto que puede ser él mismo. Douglas Stuart nos acerca, con una prosa lírica y vívida, al peligroso primer amor entre dos adolescentes en esta lúcida y conmovedora historia sobre el sentido de la masculinidad y del deber para con la familia, las violencias a las que se enfrentan las identidades queer y los riesgos de querer demasiado a alguien. Críticas: «Un lugar para Mungo lo confirma: Douglas Stuart es un genio […] Es capaz de tensar las cuerdas del suspense a la vez que mantiene una asombrosa sensibilidad a la hora de explorar la mente confusa de este gentil adolescente que intenta entender su sexualidad» Ron Charles, The Washington Post «Una novela enorme [...] Sigue un arco dickensiano: un joven marginado, que desea un futuro mejor, se ve atrapado en un esquema de violencia y debe escoger entre la vida que quiere para él y la que se le presenta [...] Esta novela te corta y luego te venda». Hillary Kelly, Los Angeles Times «Una novela hermosa y sutil que te partirá el corazón [...] Es un testimonio del poder implacable que tiene Stuart como narrador». Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air «Su escritura es bellísima, une lo desagradable y lo mundano en una sintonía maravillosa [...] La novela transmite un sonido envolvente del lugar gracias al ingenio y la musicalidad de sus diálogos». Yen Pham, New York Times Book Review «Lloré con Historia de Shuggie Bain y he llorado de nuevo con el final de Un lugar para Mungo. Si la primera obra de Stuart lo situó como una gran promesa, esta novela confirma su prodigioso talento». Alex Preston, The Guardian «Esta es una historia cruda, tierna y generosa sobre el amor y la supervivencia en circunstancias difíciles». People «El autor crea personajes tan vívidos, dilemas tan desgarradores y diálogos tan brillantes que todo te succiona como una aspiradora [...] Romántica, aterradora, brutal, tierna y, al final, furtivamente esperanzadora. ¡Qué escritor!». Kirkus Reviews (reseña destacada)"
