The strange edges of reality are explored in M John Harrison's extraordinary cult classic, now with an introduction by bestselling author Julia Armfield

The cult classic novel from the author of Climbers and The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again
With an introduction by bestselling author of Our Wives Under the Sea, Julia Armfield
'A more grown-up version of The Secret History' LUCY SCHOLES'A groundbreaking work' GUARDIAN 'The best literary fiction out now' DAILY MAIL 'Gloriously intelligent and beautifully written' INDEPENDENT
On a hot May night, three Cambridge students carry out a ritualistic act that changes their lives. Decades later, none of the participants can remember what transpired; but their clouded memories bind them together. Unable to move on, Pam Stuyvesant has epilepsy and is plagued by sensual visions. Her husband Lucas believes that a dwarfish creature is stalking him, and invents histories to soothe Pam's fears. Self-styled Sorcerer Yaxley becomes obsessed with a terrifyingly transcendent reality. The narrator is seemingly the least effected participant in the ritual: he is haunted by the smell of roses, and his guilt as he attempts to help his friends escape the torment that has engulfed their lives.
Strange, dreamlike and moving, The Course of the Heart is an examination of the edges of humanity where we lie, hide, hurt and heal.

'Saraswati is a major achievement, and Johal a huge talent. One of the biggest novels of the year' Martin MacInnes, Booker-longlisted author of In Ascension
Centuries ago, the myths say, the holy river Saraswati flowed through what is now Northern India. But when Satnam arrives in his ancestral village for his grandmother's funeral, he is astonished to find water in the long-dry well behind her house. The discovery sets in motion a contentious scheme to unearth the lost river and build a gleaming new city on its banks, and Satnam - adrift from his job, girlfriend and flat back in London - soon finds himself swept up in this ferment of Hindu nationalist pride.
As the river alters Satnam's course, so it reveals buried ties to six distant relatives scattered across the globe - from an ambitious writer with her eye on legacy to a Kenyan archaeologist to a Bollywood stunt double - who are brought together in a rapidly changing India. Brimming with love, lush, violence and loss, Gurnaik Johal's magisterial debut deftly animates the passions that bind us to our histories, our lands and each other.

When the waters of the Saraswati, a river of legend, start to rise in a corner of northern India, seven scattered descendants of a forbidden marriage are unexpectedly swept up in its current.
Satnam, adrift from his life in London, is drawn into a contentious scheme to restore the river. Nathu, an archaeologist, ventures from Nairobi to a dig site that might reveal artefacts of a lost civilisation. And elsewhere in former lands of empire - in Singapore, Canada, Mauritius and Pakistan - the ripples are felt across generations.

Pete Ayrton founded Serpent’s Tail in 1986 with a mission to introduce British readers to risk-taking world literature no one else in the UK was publishing. The list established a reputation for its diversity of voice and fearlessness, publishing writers of colour from all over the world including Langston Hughes, Ernest J Gaines, Nella Larsen, Walter Mosley, Alain Mabanckou and Lola Shoneyin, and LGBT authors including Virginie Despentes, Jayne County and Neil Bartlett. Serpent’s Tail launched the careers of major authors such as David Peace, Michel Houellebecq and Colm Tóibín, and turned the transgressive books The Sexual Life of Catherine M by Catherine Millet and We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver into bestsellers. 
After two decades of independence, in 2007 Serpent’s Tail joined Profile Books, also independent, where it continues as an imprint that celebrates originality. What makes a Serpent’s Tail book? A Serpent’s Tail book will challenge you, entertain you, tell you something about the world, provoke change and leave you hungry for more.  We publish writers who dare to think originally and help us look at the world anew. Whether their books make the past feel immediate, or illuminate the present, are subtly devastating, politically urgent, or laugh out loud funny –they always have something important to say.
Over the years we have published winners of the Nobel and Orange  prizes, and many Booker and Booker International Prize shortlisted novels. Our bestselling authors include Sarah Perry, whose novel The Essex Serpent won the Waterstones Book of the Year 2016, and the British Book Awards Book of the Year 2017, Esi Edugyan, who has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize twice for her novels Half Blood Blues and Washington Black, Karen Joy Fowler, whose novel We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and has sold over one million copies, as well as Mary Gaitskill, Susan Choi, Jami Attenberg, Attica Locke, Carmen Maria Machado, Saidiya Hartman, Ruby Tandoh and many more.
Our Serpent’s Tail  Classics  series is a growing selection of international literary and cult masterpieces and includes works by Langston Hughes, Eileen Myles, Chester Himes, Albertine Sarrazin, Elfriede Jelinek, Juan Rulfo, Robert Walser and Herve Guibert. 
Since 2014, Serpent’s Tail has been the home of boutique list Tuskar Rock Press, editorially selected by Colm Tóibín and Peter Straus. In 2015, László Krasznahorkai won the Man Booker International Prize and in that same year Chris Kraus’ cult book I Love Dick became a bestseller almost twenty years after it was first published. In 2018, novels by Antonio Munoz Molina and László Krasnahorkhai were shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize. Other Tuskar Rock Press authors include Joy Williams, Casey Gerald, Joanna Walsh and Kirstin Valdez Quade.
More than three decades  on, we hold true to our founding principles. We are passionate about finding and championing books that excite us creatively, by talented writers who don’t just break but smash the mould with work that opens up space for readers to think, and live, differently.
