Women secretly love to talk about their vaginas. They get very excited, mainly because no one’s ever asked them before’, says the author.

73538 ALL MAN! by David Earle Ernest (“Papa”) Hemingway epitomised the mid-century macho male, an image he cultivated assiduously in his stories and features for men’s magazines, most of which purveyed sex and soft porn on the one hand and violent action on the other. He himself was a favourite subject for journalists, giving rise to myth-making headlines such as “Slaughter and Sex Titillate Papa’s Pulse”. This fascinating book assesses Hemingway and his persona with reference to men’s magazines of the post-war period. The powerful woman is often a poisoner or blackmailer, modelled on the roles of Marlene Dietrich, whom Hemingway adored for her “masculinity” and strong screen personas. Coping with trauma following the war years loomed large in many men’s lives, and the magazines aimed to educate men into expressing their emotions while retaining masculinity. Hemingway himself fed into this need, using his own experiences of big game hunting to create a personal myth that reached its zenith when his plane crashed in Africa. A fascinatingly original window on the work of a classic writer. 177pp, colour illus. £26.95 NOW £8

73290 O: THE INTIMATE HISTORY OF THE


ORGASM by Jonathan Margolis Boiled down to its basics, there is not much to an orgasm, just an explosive burst of electrical impulses travelling along our nerves at 156mph. Most people experience around 12 minutes of orgasmic bliss per year and some never experience it at all. Here is a mix of facts, anecdote and analysis of this most compelling and enigmatic of phenomena, the driving force of human society for millennia. What have we learned about female pleasure since the “discovery” of the clitoris in 1558? How does the sensation of orgasm differ from person to person? Literature abounds in descriptions of and allusions toward sex and orgasm and Margolis provides a wealth of literary examples from the earliest civilisations up to the present day, alongside the orgasm’s biology, anthropology, psychology and technology. 401pp. $24 NOW £6

74291 HANGING GARDEN by Patrick White


This previously unpublished novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author has been transcribed from his handwritten manuscript and, in the absence of a living author to consult, left unedited. How he planned to finish the work remains a mystery, but readers will be keen to read this masterpiece-in-the- making and try to supply their own


ending. Patrick White was a considerable figure in world literature who, as well as novels, wrote short stories and plays. This page-turning narrative is about two children who are brought to a wild garden on the shores of Sydney Harbour to shelter from the Second World War. The boy’s mother has died in the Nazi Blitz on London. The girl is the daughter of a Sydney woman and a Communist executed in a Greek Prison. In wartime Australia, these two children form an extraordinary bond as they negotiate the dangers of life as strangers abandoned on the far side of the globe. As their story develops, the author explores, with tenderness and rigour, the children’s new and unfamiliar world, the city of his childhood and the experience of war. The novel ends as the news reaches Sydney of victory in Europe and the children have to face up to their inevitable separation. What will happen next? 224 moving pages. £14.99 NOW £4

heavens, the nuns feel inspired, working fervently to establish their school and hospital, but the isolation and emptiness of the mountain becomes increasingly unsettling, and passions long repressed emerge with tragic consequences. 258pp in paperback. £9.99 NOW £4
