"Life is tough. And then theres The Change...A woman, ignored and invisible, starts to discover her voice. But whoor whatis speaking though her?Part body-horror, part feminist fiction, They Shut Me Up poses the question: how can we retell historic female narratives? "In reclaiming the tale of an Irish "witch," Tracy Fahey writes about storiesthe ones we tell ourselves and the ones others tell about us. Steeped in Irish history and myth and suffused with womens rage, They Shut Me Up is a luminous recounting of how unearthing the past can liberate us in the present." Lynda E. Rucker (The Moon Will Look Strange, Now Its Dark) Lynda E. Rucker (The Moon Will Look Strange, Now Its Dark) "This is a glorious feminist revisionism of how powerful older women are seen in folklore. Tracy Fahey gives voice to the silenced and its a battle cry." Priya Sharma, author of Ormeshadow and Pomegranates.

*INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**NO. 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*Extraordinary The ObserverA stupefyingly pleasurable book to read New YorkerLewiss storytelling is as good as ever The EconomistFrom the #1 bestselling author of The Big Short and Flash Boys, the high-octane story of the enigmatic figure at the heart of one of the 21st centurys most spectacular financial collapsesI asked him how much it would take for him to sell FTX and go do something other than make money. He thought the question over. "One hundred and fifty billion dollars," he finally said-though he added that he had use for "infinity dollars"...Sam Bankman-Fried wasnt just rich. Before he turned thirty hed become the worlds youngest billionaire, making a record fortune in the crypto frenzy. CEOs, celebrities and world leaders vied for his time. At one point he considered paying off the entire national debt of the Bahamas so he could take his business there.Then it all fell apart.Who was this Gatsby of the crypto world, a rumpled guy in cargo shorts, whose eyes twitched across TV interviews as he played video games on the side, who even his million-dollar investors still found a mystery? What gave him such an extraordinary ability to make money - and how did his empire collapse so spectacularly?Michael Lewis was there when it happened, having got to know Bankman-Fried during his epic rise. In Going Infinite he tells us a story like no other, taking us through the mind-bending trajectory of a character who never liked the rules and was allowed to live by his own. Both psychological portrait of a preternaturally gifted thinking machine, and wild financial roller-coaster ride, this is a twenty-first-century epic of high-frequency trading and even higher stakes, of crypto mania and insane amounts of money, of hubris and downfall. No one could tell it better.
