Opening like an early Tom Waits barstool-tale, The Motel Life tells the story of two brothers, Frank & Jerry Lee. Taking to the road in an attempt to escape the hit & run accident caused by Jerry Lee, the novel goes back to tell the story of their unhappy lives. With intense feeling & compassion, Vlautin explores the frustrations & failed dreams of the two brothers
- one a natural storyteller, the other an artist
- & renders perfectly the sense of entrapment they feel. Will the kid`s death shock them out of their torpor or send them ever deeper into trouble? Can Annie James, a girl from their past, offer them any sort of redemption, however slim? Interspersed with drawings that come to form an integral part of the narrative, The Motel Life is a poetic, moving, beautifully naive & tragic fictional debut. Alongside such seminal works as Annie Proulx`s Postcards, Raymond Carver`s What we talk about when we talk about love & Denis Johnson`s Jesus` Son, it should come to be seen as a classic of downbeat American prose.

Mother India at Westminster Terrace in Glasgow, has been an institution since 1996 & specialises in dishes such as ginger & green chilli fish pakora, seasoned Scottish haddock with Puy lentils, & Delhi-style Scottish lamb, all cooked fresh to order, reflecting Mother India owner Monir Mohammed`s commitment to cooking quality Indian food without pandering to the British taste for inauthentic korma or masala. The strategy has been hugely popular, allowing expansion to five outlets, including tapas, take- aways & a Mother India Cafe in Edinburgh. Mother India is regularly ranked in Herald restaurant critic Ron Mac Kenna`s top 10 Scottish restaurants. The book will incorporate a first person account of Monir`s personal culinary journey, with a photo essay of the life of one of the world`s great Indian restaurants as an integral cog in the cultural melting pot of a modern British city. Alongside this will be a collection of recipes, some of which are signature Mother India dishes, & others designed specifically for home cooking. Each recipe will draw upon Monir`s story: his beginnings as a boy from a British Asian family who started working in restaurants at 14 & his pivotal stay in the Punjab in his late teens where he learned the ancient principles of Indian home cooking from scratch. The book will tell the story of the risks he took to build a personal, authentic style of Indian cooking. There are human stories running through the recipes as well: Hajra Bibi`s Salmon was inspired by a dish his mother (Hajra Bibi) used to make them as children. ...

Shortlisted for the Whitbread prize, MOTHER LONDON is a dazzling journey through the heart of a city that the author loved. Spanning generations of characters across a variety of boroughs from the Blitz to the mid-eighties, this is a book about the real London that tourists will never find, a London which is being erased by the spread of high-rise flats & shining skyscrapers. Following a group of released mental patients across the years & streets of London, Moorcock creates a vivid impressionistic portrait of the city, from its downtrodden pubs to its green parks. All of the lead characters hear voices
- but are they the murmurings of their damaged minds, or the true voice of the city?
