Beskidte milliarder er historien om den skandale, der rystede Danmarks ældste og største bank i dens grundvold, kostede ledelsen jobbet, halverede aktiekursen og plettede Danmarks ry internationalt. Bogen tager læseren med fra sagens spæde begyndelse, da Danske Bank får de første lyssky, men indbringende russiske kunder i filialen i Estland – samtidig med at både banken og myndighederne i Danmark modtager de første advarsler om ulovlighederne. Vi kommer tæt på nogle af de kriminelle og korrupte bagmænd og deres kreative metoder til at hvidvaske milliarder fra forbrydelser gennem de store banker. Og vi følger med på nærmeste hold inde fra kontorerne i Danske Banks hovedsæde, da skandalen eksploderer i medierne og på kort tid bliver kendt kloden over som verdens største hvidvasksag. Beskidte milliarder er skrevet af de tre undersøgende journalister på Berlingske, der tålmodigt og grundigt afdækkede sagen over en periode på to år. Undervejs får vi et indblik i deres journalistiske metoder og overvejelser – blandt andet om, hvordan man med krypteret kommunikation og hemmelige møder beskytter kilder, der risikerer at blive myrdet for at tale med en journalist.

Linda K. Hughes

Linda K. Hughes and Michael Lund provide a new approach to the study of installment literature by showing how it embodied a view of life intrinsic to Victorian culture. They examine how the serial format affected the ways Victorian audiences interpreted sixteen major works of poetry and fiction. Their findings show that Victorian interpretations were different from those of twentieth century single-volume readings. Hughes and Lund conclude that in order to understand Victorian literature, we must understand serialization, since it was the vehicle for the best literature of the age. Further, they assert we must understand serialization as a literary form attuned to the fundamental spirit of the age.

Minimalism

Fairfield, Missouri native Hugh Noone knew he had been born on the wrong side of the tracks, and society's reaction to his left-handedness convinced him that he would never enjoy the promise represented by Route 66 or new freedoms of the Sexual Revolution. In fact, he writes his life story from jail, appealing a wrongful conviction and imprisonment twenty years after the event. But revealing the details of his past and effecting a resolution of his case lead to a surprising rearrangement of his views. About Michael Lund's earlier Route 66 novels: "extremely heartwarming and nostalgic look at young people's angst during this age of wonder," says ROUTE 66 FEDERATION NEWS "funny stories of adolescence in the 1950's," says MISSOURI LIFE "a good read," says ROUTE 66 MAGAZINE

A Left-Hander on Route 66

The title of this book might suggest that I'm saying goodbye to the central subject of my fiction. That is not the case. A fifth and final book in this At Home and Away novel series is in progress because, like the rebirth of the Mother Road as "Historic Route 66," the story of America is always adding new chapters connected to its past. This five-volume novel series chronicles an American family during times of peace and war from 1915 to 2015. The first book, Route 66 Sweetheart, is set mostly in and around Rutherford, New Jersey, during the 1930s. Route 66 Dreamer features the son of a Swedish immigrant who pursues his dreams of American success in Kansas and Missouri in the early 1940s. However, in both books some family members move away to distant countries and unexpected challenges. The third volume, Route 66 Looking-glass, takes place primarily in Missouri in the mmid-1960s, but characters also travel far from home and familiar experiences. Farewell, Route 66 follows another generation of family members, this time from Missouri to Southeast Asia where many learn, sadly, "how to not tell a war story." In the final volume of the series, Route 66 Redux, the next generation travels to Europe and the Middle East to understand their identity in a multi-national community.

Farewell, Route 66

For much of her own century, Elizabeth Gaskell was recognized as a voice of Victorian convention—-the loyal wife, good mother, and respected writer—-a reputation that led to her steady decline in the view of twentieth-century literary critics. Recent scholars, however, have begun to recognize that Mrs. Gaskell's high standing in Victorian society allowed her to effect change in conventional ideology. Linda K. Hughes and Michael Lund focus this reevaluation on issues pertaining to the Victorian literary marketplace. Victorian Publishing and Mrs. Gaskell's Work portrays an elusive and self-aware writer whose refusal to grant authority to a single perspective even while she recirculated the fundamental assumptions and debates of her era enabled her simultaneously to fulfill and deflect the expectations of the literary marketplace. While she wrote for money, producing periodical fiction, major novels, and nonfiction, Mrs. Gaskell was able to maintain a tone of warmth and empathy that allowed her to imagine multiple social and epistemological alternatives. Writing from within the established rubrics of gender, narrative, and publication format, she nevertheless performed important cultural work.

Victorian Publishing and Mrs. Gaskell's Work

Although scholars are aware that serialization was the usual publication format for the Victorian novel, few take into account how this special reading experience affected the meaning of Thackeray's novels for his audience. Thackeray used a number of techniques to encourage his readers to take an active and prolonged part in his installment fiction. Michael Lund's study focuses on the reading of Thackeray's novels and investigates how Victorian understanding of Vanity Fair and Thackeray's other major texts was significantly shaped by the manner in which readers encountered these novels. Situating modern readers in the context of the Victorian audience, particularly within the monthly serial mode, Lund demonstrates in what ways Thackeray made use of his readers' prolonged commitment to his fictional worlds to shape and refine Victorian culture in positive ways.

HOW TO NOT TELL A WAR STORY is a collection of short stories about veterans who went to war but left without a war story to tell. Forty years after their experience, these veterans begins question if there is something more to say about their military service. Among other things, they come to appreciate the lovers, friends, and family who helped them shape a new, post-war identity. " . . . when the courage of NFL star Tillman was referred to, or Jessica Lynch was rescued, they all found themselves thinking back to their long-ago tours. Did they have stories? Maybe memory had played tricks on them, obscuring what would come to light at last. Back then, they hadn't studied forms for the narration of danger, but now, more aware, could they reshape their experience for the new era? What, after all, about their friend, Butterball?" Explore with Michael Lund the lives of these veterans who discover being in the service is not something to be edited out of a personal history, but an experience that stays in memory, not an ending but the beginning of a measure of peace, no matter how short the stint, or inglorious. Michael Lund is the author of nine novels about Route 66 and the generation that grew up in the Midwest in the 50s, including Route 66 to Vietnam: A Draftee's Story, all published by Beach House Books.
