New Releases by Andy Jones

Three plays from the repertoire of iconic Newfoundland and Labrador playwright, actor, and member of the groundbreaking Newfoundland comedy troupe CODCO, Andy Jones. Based on Jones'' well-known epistolary radio series, An Evening with Uncle Val is a set of comic reportages from the perspective of a retired outport-dweller now living with his family in St. John''s. Uncle Val is sometimes bemused, sometimes outraged by modern life; he has charmed readers over the decades with his stalwart heart concealed in a curmudgeon''s exterior. Out of the Bin and King o'' Fun are zany, fragmented, occasionally philosophical, always hilarious renditions of contemporary life that demonstrate the versatility of one of Canada''s most talented and beloved theatremakers.

The ability to remember lines or stay awake throughout a performance is appreciated, but not essential. The only mandatory is a terminal diagnosis. But Adam Campbell is less than enthusiastic about this eccentric form of group therapy. He has under one year to live, and a heck of lot to get done. Like explaining mortality to his six-year-old daughter. And making amends with the woman who should have been his wife. The last thing Adam needs is a part in an amateur production of ''Shakespeare''s Greatest Deaths''. But help and hope can be found where we least expect them. And perhaps camaraderie, and a shared purpose, will turn out to be the best medicine after all. As Shakespeare, didn''t quite put it: Shuffling off this mortal coil is a drag; but it''s no reason to stop living. The Cancer Ladies'' Running Club meets The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot, The Last Act of Adam Campbell is a warm, poignant and wise tale about love, friendship, and making the most of every minute of life that we''re granted.

And four months before Zoe is due to climb on a plane...

Perder la cabeza por amor es sencillo... la gran aventura empieza cuando compartes la pasta de dientes. Cuando Fisher conoce a Ivy, con su sonrisa, su sentido del humor y esa despreocupada manera de destilar feromonas, la chispa que salta entre ellos está a punto de incendiar medio Londres. Y durante dos semanas en las que ninguna razón les parece lo suficientemente buena como para salir de la cama, se alimentan de galletas y pan mohoso y se olvidan de que en el mundo exterior existen jefes, hipotecas y multas de aparcamiento. Fisher apenas se atreve a creerlo pero tras ese frenesí inicial lo que siente puede estar convirtiéndose en algo muy parecido al amor. El hecho de que apenas sepan nada el uno del otro es un simple detalle sin importancia. Lo que no puede imaginarse es que su primera noche juntos ya ha decidido el resto de sus vidas. Si no la fastidia. Un libro para los que creen en el amor... a pesar de todo. La opinión de la crítica: «Un libro magníficamente escrito y maravillosamente cautivador sobre enamorarse y seguir enamorado, sobre sorpresas, expectativas, ajustes, compromisos y sobre cómo manejar todo lo anterior sin perder la cabeza... Me encantó.» Daily Mail «Una fascinante historia de amor actual..., encantadora y divertida; lo recomendamos encarecidamente.» Library Journal «¿Quién de nosotros no ha sido joven y ha estado locamente enamorado? Los fans de la comedia romántica británica disfrutarán viendo cómo Fisher intenta resolver la situación.» Booklist «Todavía me asombra cuando encuentro a un escritor con el don de la palabra que puede hacer que un personaje me importe tanto como para ponerme a llorar en un momento y echarme a reír un minuto después. Jones consigue exactamente eso.» The Sun

Sich verlieben ist noch das Leichteste – was danach kommt zählt. Als er Ivy begegnet, ist Fisher wie vom Blitz getroffen, und bald ist er sich sicher, dass aus der Sache etwas werden könnte. Noch weiß keiner der beiden, dass die Entscheidung über ihre Zukunft längst gefallen ist: Ivy ist schwanger. Doch während das neue Leben in Ivy heranwächst, muss sich Fisher um seinen schwer erkrankten Freund El kümmern. Und Ivy und Fisher sind immer noch damit beschäftigt, sich kennenzulernen. Denn es ist eine Sache, sich zu verlieben – miteinander zu leben ist eine ganz andere Geschichte ... Ein einmalig ehrlicher, herzzerreißender Roman über die Liebe und das Leben und darüber, dass man keines von beiden als gegeben nehmen sollte. "Ich liebe dich, Ivy. Ich finde dich klug und witzig und schön ... Doch bist du die Richtige? Oder bist du nur noch hier, weil du schwanger bist? Ich hoffe, dass alles gut ausgeht, aber die Wahrheit ist: Ich weiß es nicht." “Ein wunderschön erzähltes, absolut bezauberndes Buch über das Sich-Verlieben und Lieben und die Kompromisse, die zur Liebe dazugehören.“ Daily Mail.

The second in an ongoing series of Jack stories, featuring retellings and adaptations by Andy Jones, and illustrations by Darka Erdelji. The first, The Queen of Paradise''s Garden, was published by Running the Goat in 2009. This story was partly inspired by Jonathan Goldstein''s retellings of Bible stories, and by Mary Walsh and Cathy Jones''s "Deb and Sheila" sketch. The narrative voice was inspired by the oral traditions of Newfoundland and Labrador, and uses the energy of the dialect and verbal traditions to capture the cadence of the language. The author has created a voice that is more musical than it is grammatical.
