\"\"The Membranes<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> by <\/strong>Chi Ta-wei, translated from the Chinese by Ari Larissa Heinrich (<\/strong>Columbia University Press, June 1)
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the late twenty-first century, and Momo is the most celebrated dermal care technician in all of T City. Humanity has migrated to domes at the bottom of the sea to escape devastating climate change. The world is dominated by powerful media conglomerates and runs on exploited cyborg labor. Momo prefers to keep to herself, and anyway she\u2019s too busy for other relationships: her clients include some of the city\u2019s best-known media personalities. But after meeting her estranged mother, she begins to explore her true identity, a journey that leads to questioning the bounds of gender, memory, self, and reality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Slipping<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/em> by Mohamed Kheir, translated from the Arabic by Robin Moger (Two Lines Press, June 8)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Under mysterious circumstances, Seif, a struggling journalist, is introduced to a source for a new story: a former exile with an encyclopedic knowledge of the country\u2019s obscure, magical spaces. Together\u2014as tourist and guide\u2014they step into a world hidden in plain sight. In Alexandria, they wait as trains bear down on them at the intersection of several busy lines; they follow a set of stairs down to the edge of the Nile and cross the water on foot; and down south, they sit before a bare cave wall, a cinema of private visions. What begins as a fantastical excursion through a fractured nation quickly winds its way inward, as Seif begins to piece together the mysteries of his own past, including what happened to Alya, his girlfriend with the gift of \u201csinging sounds.\u201d Seif alone confronts the interconnectedness of his own traumas with Egypt\u2019s following the Arab Spring and its hallucinatory days of revolutionary potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mountains Oceans<\/span><\/em> Giants: An Epic of the 27th Century<\/em><\/span><\/a> by\u00a0Alfred Do\u0308blin, translated from German by Chris Godwin (Galileo Publishers, June 15)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The 27th century: beleaguered elites decide to melt the Greenland icecap. Why? \u2013 to open up a new continent, for colonisation by the unruly masses. How? \u2013 by harvesting the primordial heat of the Earth from Iceland\u2019s volcanoes. Nature fights back, and it all goes horribly wrong\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
