This “exciting, unpredictable and impeccably told” novel delves into the secret life of the mysterious Wuthering Heights antihero (Susan Roebuck, author of Joseph Barnaby). It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now. Cathy’s immortal words had far-reaching repercussions. At just seventeen years of age, heartbroken and penniless, Heathcliff left behind all he knew and headed into an unknown future. Three years later, he returned—much improved in manners, appearance, and wealth. But what happened during those years? How did he make his fortune from nothing? And what fate turned him into literature’s most famous antihero? For almost two centuries, these questions have remained unanswered. Until now . . .
The National Book Award winner explores the hidden dynamics of relationships with “lean, intriguing, formally inventive prose” in this collection (Kirkus Reviews). A New York Times Editor’s Choice In Heathcliff Redux, the novella that begins this collection, a married woman reads Wuthering Heights—just as she falls under the erotic and destructive spell of her own Heathcliff. In the stories that follow, a single photograph illuminates the intricate web of connections between friends at an Italian café; a forgotten act of violence in New York’s Carl Schurz Park returns to haunt the present; and a woman is prompted by a flurry of mysterious emails to recall her time as a member of the infamous Rajneesh cult. With keen psychological insight and delicate restraint, Lily Tuck pries open the desires, doubts, and secret motives of her characters and exposes their vulnerabilities to the light. Sharp and unflinching, the novella and stories together form an exquisitely crafted collection.
Following Heathcliff’s path in The Becoming, I try to bring life to the voice of the lost loveless “outsider.” His journey begins with the self-realization of his classless status. Catherine, his life’s love, casts him away in favor of a country gentleman, Edgar Linton. The adventure takes him from eighteenth-century England, as a powerless impressed seaman, to Africa. On the Dark Continent, he becomes involved in the East India’s lucrative enterprise—the slave trade. However, after being storm-tossed, he arrives on the island of Barbados with a fellow survivor, a slave he names Zachariah. At this juncture in the story, the life experiences of several disparate women he encounters enters the narrative. They articulate the social mores that guide female behavior in the Victorian Age. Three prototypes include Delia, who rescues and employs him; Vera, who desires his love; and Amelia, a widow. They are instrumental in his quest for fortune, which he feels he needs to regain his life’s love. Returning to England as a rich man does not bring him the happiness and class inclusion he aspires to attain. Hoping to regain his heart’s passion, he spends years courting Catherine. She tantalizes him to distraction. Deciding to spite her and regain charge of his life, he devises a wicked scheme to enter a loveless marriage with Isabella, Edgar’s younger sister. Woe and sorrow follow in the wake of this plan. Catherine’s death following childbirth brings him to the brink of despair. After he suffers hollow, unfulfilling years of depression, she reaches out from her grave. She offers exultation in death. Catherine entices him with the specter of regaining her love in an eternal afterlife. He finds his becoming by lovingly joining her in death.

It is late summer 1780 and Heathcliff leaves Wuthering Heights after overhearing Catherine say how it would degrade her to marry him. The few possessions he takes with him include an amulet; his only possession other than the rags he wore when found as an urchin in Liverpool. When he wears it, the amulet seems to bring him luck. Heathcliff travels to Liverpool, where he makes his way to India as a deck hand on a ship of the East India Company. On arrival in Madras, Heathcliff finds work, love and wealth, but will his luck last and will he ever be able to put his past behind him? Imagining the short period of Heathcliff’s absence in Emily Brontë’s acclaimed novel, Heathcliff’s Fortune depicts the events which sees him transformed from a rough farm boy to a wealthy gentleman, and relates how he acquired, in India, the great wealth that made enacting his terrible revenge on those who wronged him possible.

In the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon. Two British Indian teens cut off from their heritage find solace in each other in this gothic Wuthering Heights YA remix that subverts the default whiteness of the original text. Sometimes, lost things find their way home... Yorkshire, North of England, 1786. As the abandoned son of a lascar—a sailor from India—Heathcliff has spent most of his young life maligned as an "outsider." Now he's been flung into an alien life in the Yorkshire moors, where he clings to his birth father's language even though it makes the children of the house call him an animal, and the maids claim he speaks gibberish. Catherine is the younger child of the estate's owner, a daughter with light skin and brown curls and a mother that nobody talks about. Her father is grooming her for a place in proper society, and that's all that matters. Catherine knows she must mold herself into someone pretty and good and marriageable, even though it might destroy her spirit. As they occasionally flee into the moors to escape judgment and share the half-remembered language of their unknown kin, Catherine and Heathcliff come to find solace in each other. Deep down in their souls, they can feel they are the same. But when Catherine's father dies and the household's treatment of Heathcliff only grows more cruel, their relationship becomes strained and threatens to unravel. For how can they ever be together, when loving each other—and indeed, loving themselves—is as good as throwing themselves into poverty and death?
