Phillips Helen Title : Um
Author: Phillips Helen
Publisher: Nottetempo

Un ago si accosta placido, inesorabile, al viso di May. La donna ha accettato di sottoporsi a una procedura sperimentale per alterare le sue fattezze - dopo aver perso il lavoro, quei soldi torneranno utili. A lei, al marito Jem, costretto a barcamenarsi tra mille impieghi, ai figli Lu e Sy. A eseguire l'operazione è un um, uno degli innumerevoli robot intelligenti che, in una società sconvolta dal cambiamento climatico e sempre più informatizzata, stanno soppiantando gli umani. È stato facile cedere a quell'opportunità di guadagno, così come è facile cedere all'incessante pubblicità e al desiderio nostalgico delle foreste della sua infanzia: May acquista per tutta la famiglia una vacanza di tre giorni al Giardino botanico, un costoso rifugio verde nel cuore della città, dove auspica per tutti un po' di disconnessione per riconnettersi, invece, a una natura che appare sempre più estranea. E riavvicinarsi gli uni agli altri. La sua insistenza affinché tutti si separino dai loro dispositivi digitali avrà però conseguenze impreviste, e il Giardino non si rivelerà il balsamo che May sognava. Messa di fronte al pericolo, dovrà combattere per i suoi cari. Scritto in una prosa asciutta ma con straziante compassione, "Um" racconta il mondo dell'individualità e degli affetti in un futuro distopico che appare pericolosamente vicino al presente. Pagina dopo pagina, Phillips ruota il punto di osservazione fino a porci di fronte a uno specchio - e scopriamo allora che quell'enigmatica sillaba che dà il titolo al romanzo non descrive solo l'umanoide ma chiama anche in causa, e con urgenz

Author: Phillips Helen
Publisher: Safarà Editore

Nei mondi distopici in cui si muovono gli indimenticabili personaggi dei racconti di "A tutto c'è rimedio", partner robotici pronti a soddisfare i più inesprimibili desideri, inquietanti neomamme sosia, conoscitori di impossibili domande, individui pronti a fondersi con la propria anima gemella aliena, tutti impegnati a rimediare alle difficoltà delle indistricabili relazioni umane e a trovare il loro posto nel mondo naturale, troveremo le emozioni più autentiche che attraversano ognuno di noi: l'inevitabilità dell'amore, lo humour e la meraviglia del tessuto della vita come possibile risposta alle più grandi domande che siamo chiamati ad affrontare.

Author: Phillips Helen
Publisher: Safarà Editore

In un edificio privo di finestre in un remoto quartiere di un'immensa città, la nuova assunta Josephine immette una serie infinita di numeri in un programma conosciuto solo come Database. Mentre i giorni si inanellano l'uno all'altro insieme alle pile di indecifrabili documenti, Josephine sente nascere dentro di sé un'inquietudine sempre più sottile e penetrante. Dopo l'inspiegabile sparizione di suo marito, in un crescendo vertiginoso Josephine scoprirà che la sua paura, divenuta oramai terrore, era pienamente giustificata.

Phillips Helen Title : The Beautiful Bureaucrat
Author: Phillips Helen
Publisher: Henry Holt & Co

A young wife's new job in an enigmatic organization pits her against the unfeeling machinations of the universe in this inventive and compulsively page-turning first novel


In a windowless building in a remote part of town, the newly employed Josephine inputs an endless string of numbers into something known only as The Database. After a long period of joblessness, she's not inclined to question her fortune, but as the days inch by and the files stack up, Josephine feels increasingly anxious in her surroundings--the office's scarred pinkish walls take on a living quality, the drone of keyboards echoes eerily down the long halls. When one evening her husband Joseph disappears and then returns, offering no explanation as to his whereabouts, her creeping unease shifts decidedly to dread.


As other strange events build to a crescendo, the haunting truth about Josephine's work begins to take shape in her mind, even as something powerful is gathering its own form within her. She realizes that in order to save those she holds most dear, she must penetrate an institution whose tentacles seem to extend to every corner of the city and beyond. Both chilling and poignant,The Beautiful Bureaucrat is a novel of rare restraint and imagination. With it, Helen Phillips enters the company of Murakami, Bender, and Atwood as she twists the world we know and shows it back to us full of meaning and wonder--luminous and new.

Phillips Helen Title : Here Where the Sunbeams Are Green
Author: Phillips Helen
Publisher: Yearling Books

Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medal-winning author of When You Reach Me said this book is "brimming with surprises and grand adventure. Brave, smart, and full of heart, Madeline and Ruby are a gust of fresh air."

Mad's dad is the Bird Guy. He'll go anywhere to study birds. So when he's offered a bird-tracking job in Central America, his bags are packed and he's jungle bound.

But going bird tracking in the jungle and disappearing completely are very different things, and when the Very Strange and Incredibly Creepy Letter arrives, Mad can't shake the terrible feeling that her father is in trouble.

Roo, Mad's younger sister, is convinced that the letter is a coded message. And their mom is worried, because the letter doesn't sound like Dad at all. But Mad is sure it's a sign of something sinister.

The only way to get to the bottom of it is to go to Lava Bird Volcano and find their dad themselves. Though they never could have imagined what they're about to discover.

From new talent Helen Phillips, Here Where the Sunbeams Are Green is the story of what can happen when two sisters make some unusual friends, trust in each other, and bravely face a jungle of trouble all to bring their family back together.

Phillips Helen Title : And Yet They Were Happy
Author: Phillips Helen
Publisher: Leapfrog Pr

"Brilliant miniatures. . . . Like the fables of Calvino, Millhauser, or W.S. Merwin. . . . Beautifully blends short story and prose poem. . . . Mermaids, subways, floods, cucumbers, magicians. . . .The book is a gallery of marvels. Phillips guides us through the 'Hall of Nostalgia For Things We Have Never Seen,' 'the factory where the virgins are made,' and 'the Anne Frank School for Expectant Mothers.' A depressed Noah admits he 'didn't get them all,' a wife guesses which of two identical men is her husband, a regime orders citizens to grow raspberries on windowsills. [Helen Phillips'] quietly elegant sentences are as clear as spring water, haunting as our own childhood memories."?Michael Dirda

"A deeply interesting mind is at work in these wry, lyrical stories. Phillips exploits the duality of our nature to create a timeless and most engaging collection."?Amy Hempel

"Haunted and lyrical and edible all at once."?Rivka Galchen

A young couple sets out to build a life together in an unstable world haunted by monsters, plagued by disasters, full of longing?but also one of transformation, wonder, and delight, peopled by the likes of Noah, Bob Dylan, the Virgin Mary, and Anne Frank. Hovering between reality and fantasy, whimsy and darkness, these linked fables describe a universe both surreal and familiar.

Helen Phillips received a 2009 Rona Jaffe Writer's Award, 2009 Meridian Editors' Prize, and 2008 Italo Calvino Fabulist Fiction Prize. Her work has appeared in many literary journals and two anthologies. She holds degrees from Yale University and Brooklyn College, and teaches creative writing at Brooklyn College.
