"Mit navn er Perry L. Crandall, og jeg er ikke retarderet. Bedste sagde altid til mig, at L’et stod for Lucky. “Mister Perry Lucky Crandall, hold med at brokke dig!” plejede hun at skænde. “Du har to gode øjne og to gode ben, og du er så ærlig, som dagen er lang.” Hun kaldte mig altid heldig og ærlig. At være ærlig betyder, at man ikke ved bedre." En sjov, gribende og klog roman om at være en rig underdog, hvis IQ egentlig fortæller meget lidt om, hvor klog han er. Perrys IQ er på 76, men han er ikke dum. Hans bedstemor lærte ham alt, hvad han havde brug for at vide for at overleve: Hun lærte ham at skrive ting ned, så han ikke glemmer dem. Hun lærte ham at købe lottokuponer hver uge. Og hvad vigtigst er, lærte hun ham, hvem han skal stole på! Da Bedste dør, er Perry efterladt uden værge, kun 31 år gammel. Så vinder han 12 millioner dollars i Washington State Lottery, hvilket resulterer i, at han får mere familie, end han ved, hvad han skal gøre med. Hans hverdag fyldes op med folk, der både vil kramme og narre Perry på samme tid, og Perry skal forsøge at navigere i dette miskmask og holde fast i dem, der er rigtige venner. Lotto handler om tillid, loyalitet - og om, hvornår mennesket er dygtig, og hvornår det bare er dum, selvom det måske har en IQ på over 80. "Hvad jeg elsker ved Lotto er, at den handler om meget mere end heldet, der rammer ét enkelt individ - det er en bog om de overraskende mange situationer, der får betydning for en stor flok mennesker, især læseren!" - Paul Theroux "I denne debutroman af Patricia Wood defineres det gribende i én enkelt stavelse. Lotto er solid guld." Jacquelyn Mitchard
Borders, mobility and belonging in the era of Brexit and Trump

Borders, mobility and belonging in the era of Brexit and Trump

Providing new insights into the politics of migration and citizenship in the UK and the US, this book challenges the increasingly prevalent view of migration and migrants as threats and of formal citizenship as a necessary marker of belonging. Instead the authors offer an analysis of migration and citizenship in practice, as a counterpoint to simplistic discourses. The book uses cutting-edge academic work on migration and citizenship to address three themes central to current debates - borders and walls, mobility and travel, and belonging.
