Story
Перед читачами постає лише один «щасливий» день із життя Корнія Дізіка, від особи якого ведеться розповідь. Він зі своєї волі опинився в банді отамана Гострого, тому став дезертиром і переховувся в житах. Тому така і назва новели. Герой любить природу, тонко розуміє її красу. Любить жінку та життя, але змушений переховуватися від усіх, вовком бродити в степу. Бо він дезертир, якому незрозуміла, чужа й ворожа війна, від котрої він хоче втекти, котру хоче забути.

Story
The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States is an exciting piece of "speculative fiction." The novel posits that there was a nuclear attack against the US on March 21, 2020 by North Korea, and that a national bipartisan commission was created to investigate what and how it happened. It's pretty scary stuff.

Story
Mara Tagarelli is, professionally, the head of a multimillion-dollar AIDS foundation; personally, she is a committed martial artist. But her life has turned inside out like a sock. She can’t rely on family, her body is letting her down, and friends and colleagues are turning away - they treat her like a victim. She needs to break that narrative: build her own community, learn new strengths, and fight. But what do you do when you find out that the story you’ve been told, the story you’ve told yourself, is not true?

Story
In this surreal work by the author of The Master and Margarita, wealthy Moscow surgeon Filip Preobrazhensky implants the pituitary gland and testicles of a drunken petty criminal into the body of a stray dog named Sharik. As the dog slowly transforms into a man, and the man into a slovenly, lecherous government official, the doctor's life descends into chaos. A scathing indictment of the New Soviet Man, A Dog's Heart was immediately banned by the Soviet government when it was first published in 1925.

"Tell me what happened while there's still time," demands the dying Senator Adam Sunraider to the itinerate Negro preacher whom he calls Daddy Hickman. As a young man, Sunraider was Bliss, an orphan taken in by Hickman and raised to be a preacher like himself. Bliss's history encompasses the joys of young southern boyhood; bucolic days as a filmmaker, lovemaking in a field in the Oklahoma sun. And behind it all lies a mystery: how did this chosen child become the man who would deny everything to achieve his goals?

Story
The UK referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU was a political showdown the British PM, Jeremy Hartley, thought he couldn’t lose. But the next morning both he and the rest of the country woke in a state of shock. America meanwhile has its own unlikely presidential candidate, the brash showman Ronald Craig, a man that nobody thought could gain office. Throw into the mix the cunning Russian President Igor Popov, with his plans to destabilise the West, and you have a brilliant alternative account of the events of 2016 that led to Brexit and America welcoming its own new leader.

Paris, 2022: Der Literaturprofessor François führt ein einsames Leben. Seine einzige Leidenschaft gilt dem dekadenten Schriftsteller Huysmans. Tiefergehende Beziehungen interessieren ihn ebenso wenig wie aktuelle politische Ereignisse. Doch als in Frankreich gewählt wird, gerät sein ruhiges Leben ins Wanken. Um den als wahrscheinlich geltenden Sieg des Front National zu verhindern, koalieren die bürgerlichen Parteien mit der Bruderschaft der Muslime: Neuer Präsident wird deren charismatisches Oberhaupt Mohammed Ben Abbes.

While attempting to write a book about the case, he revisits the details of the investigation. As he reaches into the past, Chaparro also recalls the beginning of his long, unrequited love for Irene Hornos, then just an intern, now a respected judge.

Un filo resistente lega gli uni agli altri i racconti di questa antologia: un'agenda rossa. Si affaccia dalla pagina declinata in diversi modi, una volta ha i fogli strappati, un'altra è gonfia di biglietti di teatro, ma sempre intende ricordare quella appartenuta a Paolo Borsellino - che conteneva appunti, nomi e forse rivelazioni sulla strage di Capaci, scomparsa immediatamente dopo l'attentato mafioso del 19 luglio 1992 e mai più riapparsa.
