On Boxing Day in 2004, Edie Fassnidge set off for a day of kayaking off the coast of Thailand with her boyfriend, mother & sister. That`s when disaster struck. She felt a shift in the air; she spotted something on the horizon; & seconds later, the first wave came crashing down upon them. Separated from her family & covered in open wounds, Edie battled for hours to get to safety: colliding with rocks; tumbling underwater as if in a giant washing machine; grappling with overgrown branches & venomous ants...all the while hanging on to the hope that she wasn`t the only one to survive. Rinse, Spin, Repeat is a graphic memoir depicting Edie`s experience of surviving the Indian Ocean tsunami that claimed over 200, 000 lives & changed hers forever.

Ring Roads

Ring Roads, for which Modiano was awarded the French Academy`s Grand Prix du Roman (1972), is the story of a young Jew, Serge, in search of his father, Chalva, who disappeared from his life ten years earlier. He finds him trying to survive the war years in the unlikely company of black marketeers, anti-Semites and prostitutes, putting his meagre and not entirely orthodox business skills at the service of those who have no interest in him or his survival. Ring Roads is a brilliant, almost hallucinatory evocation of the uneasy, corrupt years of the Occupation and like The Night Watch is both cruel and tender - savage in its depiction of the anti-Semitic newspaper editor, the bullying ex-Foreign Legionnaire and the former prostitute, who treat Chalva with ever more threatening
contempt; tender in its attempt to understand and identify with the Jew who cannot see the danger he courts.
