The Better Brain Solution
How to Start Now--at Any Age--to Reverse and Prevent Insulin
Resistance of the Brain, Sharpen Cognitive Function, and Avoid
Memory Loss
Steven Masley, M.D.
From the author of the best-selling 30-Day Heart Tune-Up and Smart Fat--the first
book to show how the brain can become insulin resistant through diet and lifestyle,
and to make clear how and why this has been directly linked to cognitive decline
and memory loss. With a detailed program developed by the author to prevent and
reverse this potentially devastating condition.
Alzheimer's disease is the #1 most terrifying disease today. Despite billions of
dollars of research, there are no significant cures for dementia or Alzheimer's (the
most common form of memory loss), which accounts for up to 70 percent of all
dementia. Almost six million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's;
with an annual cost of dementia care and research in the United States of $215
billion, more than is spent on cancer or heart disease.
In The Better Brain Solution, Dr. Steven Masley writes of the two urgent
epidemics we are facing now--escalating rates of disabling memory loss and
rapidly increasing rates of diabetes and pre-diabetes--and yet both conditions
are largely preventable.
Most people today understand the effect that elevated blood sugar has on their
ON SALE 1/2/2018 cardiovascular health, but few understand that insulin resistance is significantly
KNOPF damaging to the brain.
HARDCOVER In the The Better Brain Solution, Masley offers a program that, in the fight
against diabetes, memory loss, and cognitive decline, can reverse insulin

Gnomon
A novel
Nick Harkaway
From the widely acclaimed author of The Gone-Away World and Tigerman, a
virtuosic new novel and his most ambitious book yet--equal parts dark comedy,
gripping detective story, and mind-bending philosophical puzzle--set in a
not-too-distant-future, high-tech surveillance state.
In the world of Gnomon, citizens are ceaselessly observed and democracy has
reached a pinnacle of "transparency." When suspected dissident Diana Hunter dies
in government custody during a routine interrogation, Mielikki Neith, a trusted
state inspector, is assigned to the case. Immersing herself in neural recordings of
the interrogation, she finds a panorama of characters and events that Hunter gave
life to in order to forestall the investigation: a lovelorn financier in Athens who has
a mystical experience with a shark; a brilliant alchemist in ancient Carthage
confronting the unexpected outcome of her invention; an expat Ethiopian painter
in London designing a controversial new video game. In the static between these
mysterious visions, Neith begins to catch glimpses of the real Diana Hunter--and,
alarmingly, of herself, the staggering consequences of which will reverberate
throughout the world. Gnomon is a dazzling, panoramic achievement from one of
the most original voices in contemporary fiction.
CRITICAL DARLING: Harkaway's most recent book, Tigerman, received rave reviews and
ON SALE 1/9/2018 was named a Best Book of the Year by NPR and Kirkus as well as a Notable Book by the
KNOPF Washington Post and ALA. Angelmaker was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize
HARDCOVER and the Arthur C. Clarke Award and was named a Best Book of the Year by The Wall Street
Journal, Booklist, The Guardian, and Wired. Harkaway's debut, The Gone-Away World,
remains a cult favorite and still sells nearly ten years after its initial publication.
978-1-5247-3208-0 CURRENT EVENTS: Gnomon begins with the premise of a dystopian high-tech surveillance

Munich
A novel
Robert Harris
From the internationally best-selling author of Fatherland and the Cicero Trilogy--a
new spy thriller about treason and conscience, loyalty and betrayal, set against the
backdrop of the fateful Munich Conference of September 1938.
Hugh Legat is a rising star of the British diplomatic service, serving at 10
Downing Street as a private secretary to the Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain.
Rikard von Holz is on the staff of the German Foreign Office--and secretly a
member of the anti-Hitler resistance. The two men were friends at Oxford in the
1920s, but have not been in contact since. Now, when Hugh flies with Chamberlain
from London to Munich, and Rikard travels on Hitler's train overnight from Berlin,
their paths are set on a disastrous collision course. And once again, Robert Harris
gives us actual events of historical importance--here are Hitler, Chamberlain,
Mussolini, Daladier--at the heart of an electrifying, unputdownable novel.
SUBJECT: And as always is the case with Harris, this gripping, thrilling historical narrative
also has plenty to say about politics and power in our own time.
NAZIS: Not to put too fine a point on it, but Munich returns Harris to the subject of his
most beloved book, Fatherland.
REVIEWS AND SALES: Robert Harris is one of our most consistently reviewed and selling
authors. His last book, Conclave, was deemed "unputdownable" (The Guardian) among a
host of other glowing adjectives. And his previous books are all worldwide best sellers.
ON SALE 1/16/2018 UK EDITION: Hutchinson will publish Munich in September 2017, ensuring that we'll have
KNOPF a wealth of buzz and glowing reviews upon which to build our release.

The Monk of Mokha
Dave Eggers
From the best-selling author of The Circle and What Is the What, the true story of a
young Yemeni-American man, raised in San Francisco, who dreams of resurrecting
the ancient art of Yemeni coffee but finds himself trapped in Sana'a by civil war.
Mokhtar Alkhanshali grew up in San Francisco, one of seven siblings brought
up by Yemeni immigrants in a tiny apartment. At age twenty-four, unable to pay
for college, he works as a doorman, until a chance encounter awakens his interest
in coffee and its rich history in Yemen. Reinventing himself, he sets out to learn
about coffee cultivation, roasting and importing. He travels to Yemen and visits
farms in every corner of the country, collecting samples, eager to improve
cultivation methods and help Yemeni farmers bring their coffee back to its former
glory. And he is on the verge of success when civil war engulfs Yemen in 2015. The
U.S. embassy closes, Saudi bombs begin to rain down on the country and Mokhtar
is trapped in Yemen. This is a heart-pounding true story that weaves together the
history of coffee, the struggles of everyday Yemenis living through civil war and
the courageous journey of a young man--a Muslim and a U.S. citizen--following
the most American of dreams.

I Am, I Am, I Am
Seventeen Brushes with Death
Maggie O'Farrell
An extraordinary memoir--told entirely in near-death experiences--from one of
Britain's best-selling novelists, for fans of Wild, When Breath Becomes Air, and The
Year of Magical Thinking.
We are never closer to life than when we brush up against the possibility of
death.
I Am, I Am, I Am is Maggie O'Farrell's astonishing memoir of the near-death
experiences that have punctuated and defined her life. The childhood illness that
left her bedridden for a year, which she was not expected to survive. A teenage
yearning to escape that nearly ended in disaster. An encounter with a disturbed
man on a remote path. And, most terrifying of all, an ongoing, daily struggle to
protect her daughter--for whom this book was written--from a condition that
leaves her unimaginably vulnerable to life's myriad dangers.
Seventeen discrete encounters with Maggie at different ages, in different locations,
reveal a whole life in a series of tense, visceral snapshots. In taut prose that
vibrates with electricity and restrained emotion, O'Farrell captures the perils
running just beneath the surface, and illuminates the preciousness, beauty, and
mysteries of life itself.

Rhiannon Navin
For readers of Room and The Girls, a dazzling, tenderhearted debut about healing,
family, and the exquisite wisdom of children, narrated by a six-year-old boy who
reminds us that sometimes the littlest bodies hold the biggest hearts, and the
quietest voices speak the loudest.
"Only Child realizes every parent's ultimate fear: What if your kid's killer is
someone you knew--or thought you knew? Congrats to Rhiannon
Navin--this is an outstanding debut." --Harlan Coben
Squeezed into a coat closet with his classmates and teacher, first grader Zach
Taylor can hear gunshots ringing through the halls of his school. A gunman has
entered the building, taking nineteen lives and irrevocably changing the very
fabric of this close-knit community. While Zach's mother pursues a quest for
justice against the shooter's parents, holding them responsible for their son's
actions, Zach retreats into his super-secret hideout and loses himself in a world of
books and art. Armed with his newfound understanding, and with the optimism
and stubbornness only a child could have, Zach sets out on a captivating journey
towards healing and forgiveness, determined to help the adults in his life
rediscover the universal truths of love and compassion needed to pull them
through their darkest hours.

The Rub of Time
Bellow, Nabokov, Hitchens, Travolta, Trump: Essays and Reportage,
1986-2017
Martin Amis
The definitive collection of essays and reportage written during the past thirty years
from one of most provocative and widely read writers--with new commentary by the
author.
For more than thirty years, Martin Amis has turned his keen intellect and
unrivaled prose loose on an astonishing range of topics--politics, sports, celebrity,
America, and, of course, literature. Now, at last, these incomparable essays have
been gathered together. Here is Amis at the 2011 GOP Iowa Caucus, where,
squeezed between "windbreakers and woolly hats," he pores over The Ron Paul
Family Cookbook and laments the absence of "our Banquo," Herman Cain. He
writes about finally confronting the effects of aging on his athletic prowess. He
revisits, time and time again, the worlds of Bellow and Nabokov, his "twin peaks,"
masters who have obsessed and inspired him. Brilliant, incisive, and savagely
funny, The Rub of Time is a vital addition to any Amis fan's bookshelf, and the
perfect primer for readers discovering his fierce and tremendous journalistic
talents for the first time.
PRAISE: Amis's most recent work, the novel The Zone of Interest, was hailed by NPR as "a
book that may stand for years as the triumph of his career," and received terrific praise
both here and in the UK.

In Full Flight
A Story of Africa and Atonement
John Heminway
A woman's quest for a new life in Africa in the wake of World War II -- and a heroic
career that hid a secret past.
Over the span of fifty years, Dr. Anne Spoerry, French by birth, treated
hundreds of thousands of individuals across rural Kenya. A member of the
renowned Flying Doctors Service, Spoerry earned the cherished nickname "Mama
Daktari"--"Mother Doctor"--from the people of Kenya. Yet few knew what drove
her from post-World War II Europe to Africa. Now, in the first comprehensive story
of her life, her revered selflessness gives way to a past marked by rebellion and
submission, during which she earned another nickname--this one sinister working
as a "doctor" in a Nazi concentration camp. In Full Flight explores the question of
whether it is possible to rewrite one's troubled past simply by doing good in the
present. Informed by Spoerry's own journals, a trove of previously untapped files,
and numerous interviews with those who knew her in Europe or Africa, John
Heminway takes readers on a remarkable journey through Africa and into a
dramatic life punctuated by both courage and weakness and driven by a powerful
need to atone.
WWII FROM A FRESH ANGLE: While WWII has been covered extensively, few books--if
any--have looked at it from as unique and particular a point of view as Spoerry's, a
Frenchwoman who fought the enemy, then became the enemy, then fled Europe to

Madness Is Better Than Defeat
A novel
Ned Beauman
A wild, astonishing literary thriller by arguably England's most accomplished young
writer, about Manhattan and Hollywood in the 1930s, Mayan gods, and a CIA
operation gone terribly wrong--the Man Booker short-listed Ned Beauman's
magnum opus thus far.
In 1938, two rival expeditions descend on an ancient temple recently
discovered in the jungles of Honduras, one intending to shoot a screwball comedy
on location there, the other to disassemble the temple and ship it back to New
York. A seemingly endless stalemate ensues, and twenty years later a rogue CIA
agent sets out to exploit it for his own ends, unaware that the temple is a locus of
conspiracies far grander than anyone could ever have guessed. Shot through with
insanity, intrigue, ingenuity, and adventure, showcasing Beauman's anarchic
humor, spectacular imagination, and riveting prose, Madness Is Better Than Defeat
teases, absorbs, entertains, and dazzles in equal measure.
AWARDS AND HONORS: Beauman's debut novel, Boxer, Beetle, won the Writer's Guild of
Great Britain Award and the Goldberg Prize. His second, The Teleportation Accident, was
longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and won the Encore Award and the Somerset
Maugham Award. In 2013, he was much the youngest on Granta's once-a-decade list the
Best of Young British Novelists. We published his third novel, Glow, in 2015.

A novel
Peter Carey
The two-time Booker Prize-winning author now gives us a wildly exuberant, wily new
novel that circumnavigates 1954 Australia, revealing as much about the
country/continent as it does about three audacious individuals who take part in the
infamous 10,000-mile race, the Redex Trial.
Irene Bobs loves fast driving. Her husband is the best car salesman in
southeastern Australia. Together they enter the Redex Trial, a brutal race around
the ancient continent, over roads no car will ever quite survive. With them is their
lanky, fair-haired navigator, Willie Bachhuber, a quiz show champion and failed
schoolteacher who calls the turns and creeks crossings on a map that will remove
them, without warning, from the white Australia they all know so well. This is a
thrilling high-speed story that starts in one way, and then takes you someplace
else. It is often funny, more so as the world gets stranger, and always a
page-turner even as you learn a history these characters never knew themselves.
Set in the 1950s, this is a world every American will recognize: black, white,
who we are, how we got here, and what we did to each other along the way.
A Long Way from Home is Peter Carey's late-style masterpiece.
.
FABULOUS FOUR: The main characters--Irene, Titch, Willy, and Dangerous Dan, Titch's
ON SALE 2/27/2018 father--are among the most entertaining and compellingly complex characters Carey has
KNOPF ever created.
HARDCOVER THE FEMALE PERSPECTIVE: Irene and Willy narrate in alternating chapters, but Irene is in
many ways the heart of the book, and her razor-sharp take on the men around her and her
978-0-525-52017-7 place in a primarily man's world is by turns exasperated, loving, really funny, always wise.
QUESTIONS OF RACE: Willy's story--slowly and subtly revealed--reckons with Australia's

A Dublin Memoir
John Banville
From the internationally acclaimed and Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea
and the Benjamin Black mysteries--a vividly evocative memoir that unfolds around
the author's recollections, experience, and imaginings of Dublin.
As much about the life of the city as it is about a life lived, sometimes, in the
city, John Banville's "quasi-memoir" is as layered, emotionally rich, witty, and
unexpected as any of his novels. Born and bred in a small town a train ride away
from Dublin, Banville saw the city as a place of enchantment when he was a child,
a birthday treat, the place where his beloved, eccentric aunt lived. And though,
when he came of age and took up residence there, and the city became a frequent
backdrop for his dissatisfactions (not playing an identifiable role in his work until
the Quirke mystery series, penned as Benjamin Black), it remained in some part of
his memory as fascinating as it had been to his seven-year-old self. And as he
guides us around the city, delighting in its cultural, architectural, political, and
social history, he interweaves the memories that are attached to particular places
and moments. The result is both a wonderfully idiosyncratic tour of Dublin, and a
tender yet powerful ode to a formative time and place for the artist as a young
ON SALE 2/27/2018 man.
A MODERN MASTER: Winner of the Man Booker Prize, among many other awards, and a
KNOPF
longtime house author, Banville is one of the foremost writers in the English language,

both critically acclaimed and commercially adored. His books are essential reading for any
