New Remember him? Didn't think so. Simon Teller is the last of a dying breed. He's such a New Man he's sparkling. Struggling magician, gourmet cook, and jazz freak, he's been doing Conversation and Quiche for as long as he can remember, but he's so sensitive that all he's managed to conjure up is a number of awkward crushes and infatuations. And now the women are staying away in droves. Enter stage left Joe, the Houdini of the casual sex scene and the man who, in the cause of true friendship, is determined to show Simon how to pull women as easily as he pulls rabbits out of hats. Under Joe's expert tutelage, and armed with an array of cynical -- and secondhand -- seduction techniques, Simon embarks on a radically different approach to dating. The results are disastrous. A number of close encounters of a very peculiar kind with desperate divorcees, nymphomaniac Canadians, and alcoholic doctors leave Simon wondering if the beautiful American magician Alex might be different! A comedy about love, friendship and magic, and about how, sometimes, the trick is to see what's before your very eyes.

An uplifting novel about the families we create and the places we call home. In 1904, Frederick and Jette flee her disapproving mother, choosing to escape to America. Initially set to board a boat to New York, they opt for one to New Orleans instead, ultimately finding themselves in the small town of Beatrice, Missouri. With no knowledge of English, they begin their new life together. Beatrice is filled with unforgettable characters: a jazz trumpeter who cooks delicious gumbo, a giant teenage boy, a schoolteacher who teaches more than music, a minister convinced he has seen the Second Coming, and a malevolent, bicycle-riding dwarf. The story is narrated by James, the grandson of Frederick and Jette, who realizes he knows little about his own heritage. From bare-knuckle prizefighting and Prohibition to barbershop harmonies and the Kennedy assassination, James's family experiences the ebb and flow of history. Each generation learns anew what it means to be American, often discovering more about themselves than expected. Poignant, funny, and heartbreaking, this novel explores the experience of being an outsider—within one’s country, hometown, and family—ultimately telling a universal story about the search for home.
