little scratch tells the story of a day in the life of an unnamed young woman. She wakes up, goes to work, watches the clock and checks her phone. Underneath this monotony, there’s something else going on; something under her skin. In a voice that is all at once fierce, profound and delicate, she relays what it takes to travel that single trajectory: from morning to night.

This is the tale of Vivek Oji: it begins with his end, his naked body shrouded on his mother’s doorstep, and moves backwards through time to unpick the story of his life and the mystery surrounding his death. The story of a Nigerian childhood quite different from those we have been told before, this is a fresh, engaging novel about the innocence of youth and how it clashes with culture and expectation.

Rediscover one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers as Faber reissues the works of Lawrence Durrell
In a world trembling on the brink of war, passion and death are inextricable.
The Republic of False Truths ALAA AL ASWANY General Alwany is a pious man who loves his family. He also tortures and kills enemies of the state. The regime of Hosni Mubarak faces its greatest crisis: the idealistic young have come together to challenge the status quo. As Mubarak is toppled, love blossoms across class divides, but the general and his friends mount a devastating counter-attack. The Republic of False Truths offers a deeply moving and passionate fictional account of the trauma of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. TPB | £12.99 23/07/2020 | 9780571347605
Lawrence Durrell's scandalous 'investigation of modern love' set the world alight in 1957, and – as André Aciman reveals – it has burned ever since.
Meanwhile in Dopamine City DBC PIERRE Out of sync with the changes in his hometown and his century, Lonny Cush doesn’t have the means to give his quiet teenage son and precocious, ultra-demanding nine-year-old daughter Shelby-Ann what they need. Desperate to win back his kids’ favour he splashes out on the thing Shelby-Ann wants more than anything: her first smartphone. A humane, deeply empathetic satire; the most moving and entertaining exaggeration of the fearful nightmare of trying to raise a kid now.

And for almost as long, people have been rewriting those fairy tales – to help children see themselves in the stories they hear. The stories in this book haven’t been rewritten.

Selfie-sticks with demonic powers. Cold calls from the dead. And that creeping suspicion, as you sit there with your flat white, that none of this is real. John Lanchester’s first book of shorter fictions, Reality, and Other Stories is a gathering of deliciously chilling entertainments, to be read as the evenings draw in and the days are haunted by all the ghastly schlock, uncanny technologies and absurd horrors of modern life.

Sudden Traveller SARAH HALL In Turkish forests or rain-drenched Cumbrian villages, characters walk, drive, dream and fly, trying to reconcile themselves with their journey through life and death. A woman fitted with life-changing technology returns to the site of her strongest memories; a man repatriated in the near east hears the name of an old love called and must unpack history’s suitcase; and from the new world-waves of female anger and resistance, a mythical creature evolves. Each of these stories opens channels in the human mind and spirit.

Lead by Halima, Livingstone’s sharp-tongued cook, and three of his most devoted servants: Jacob, Chuma and Susi, their tale of how his corpse was borne out of nineteenth-century Africa – so that he could be buried in his own country – has the power of myth. It is symbolic of slavery’s hypocrisy, a portrait of a world trembling on the cusp of change, and a celebration of human bravery, loyalty and love. B PB | £8.99 03/09/2020 | 9780571345342

God’s Shadow ALAN MIKHAIL
Coventry RACHEL CUSK
The Ottoman Empire was a hub of flourishing intellectual fervour, geopolitical power and enlightened pluralistic rule. At the helm of its ascent was the omnipotent Sultan Selim I (1470–1520), who expanded the Empire, propelling it onto the world stage. Alan Mikhail centres Selim’s Ottoman Empire and Islam as pivots of global history, redefining world-changing events such as Christopher Columbus’s voyages, the Protestant Reformation, the transatlantic slave trade, and the dramatic Ottoman seizure of the Middle East and North Africa.
After the publication of Outline, Transit and Kudos – in which Rachel Cusk redrew the boundaries of fiction – this writer of uncommon brilliance returns with a series of essays that offers new insights on the themes at the heart of her life’s work. Encompassing memoir, cultural and literary criticism, with pieces on gender, politics and writers such as D. H. Lawrence, Olivia Manning and Natalia Ginzburg, this collection is essential reading for our age: fearless, unrepentantly erudite, both startling and rewarding to behold.
A groundbreaking account that vividly recaptures Selim’s life, radically reshaping our understanding of a world we thought we knew.

Conflicted IAN LESLIE In this highly connected but increasingly polarised world, where potential conflicts seem to lurk behind every headline, timeline and professional encounter, it’s tempting to seek to coerce, persuade and smooth over our differences. But Ian Leslie argues that in order to avoid mediocre, unproductive groupthink, festering resentments and even outright violence, we need to get better at disagreement. Delving into the work of expert communicators Leslie demonstrates how their techniques can help us learn to disagree better, making work, friendships, marriages and family lives flourish.
Dark ads, psy-ops, hacks, bots, soft facts, ISIS, Putin, trolls, Trump. We’ve lost not only our sense of peace and democracy, but also our sense of what those words even mean.

Animation Mini Series RICHARD E. WILLIAMS
Side by Side Selected Lyrics ROBERT WYATT and ALFIE BENGE
The Animator’s Survival Kit is the indispensable tool for professional animators and students of animation. This series of Animation Minis presents the Survival Kit’s most essential chapters in small, easy-to-carry – and easy-to-study – editions. The Minis are available for these key topics: Walks; Runs, Jumps and Skips; Flexibility and Weight; Directing, Dialogue and Acting. In each Mini, Williams provides the building blocks to construct animated characters. His use of stick figures makes it easy to understand, learn and copy – a process that encourages animators to invent and entertain.
Celebrating one of the most enduring creative partnerships of the last fifty years, Side by Side collects the lyrics, poems, writings and drawings of Robert Wyatt and his wife, the English painter and songwriter Alfie Benge. Selected and arranged by the authors themselves, and with an introduction by Jarvis Cocker, Side by Side is the life’s work of two of British music’s most unique and timeless artists.

Sweet Dreams charts the rise of the Blitz Kids and the New Romantics, a scene that grew out of the remnants of post-punk and developed quickly alongside club culture, ska, electronica, and goth. One of the most creative entrepreneurial periods since the Sixties, the era had a huge influence on the growth of print and broadcast media, and was arguably one of the most bohemian environments of the late twentieth century.

Postcolonial Love Poem NATALIE DIAZ
I S B AC K
Postcolonial Love Poem demands that every body carried in its pages – bodies of language, land, suffering brothers, enemies and lovers – be touched and held; where the bodies of indigenous, Latinx, black and brown women are simultaneously the body politic and the body ecstatic. Her poetry questions what kind of future we might create, built from the choices we make now.
Introducing a world of glitz and glamour, debauchery and decadence, where a deadly rivalry threatens to tear the Holtzfall family apart.

How to Fly BARBARA KINGSOLVER
© David Wood
How to Fly will both delight Kingsolver’s devoted readership and welcome new readers to her startling verse, while revealing an intimate side to her creative practice as yet unseen. Divided into thematic sections that loop and interweave to form a carefully patterned whole: a series of ‘How to’ poems that smartly balance tongue-in-cheek pragmatism with revelatory wisdom, a complicated yet affirmative family pilgrimage, cherished childhood memories, the perils and pleasures of being a [female] writer, elegies to lost loved ones, and elegies to the planet.

The younger generation must compete in trials to determine who is most virtuous – and therefore most worthy – of inheriting control of the family, their money and their magic. But as they wage their battles something bigger and more sinister bubbles beneath the surface.
Faber & Faber Poetry Diary 2021 & Liberty Faber Poetry Diary 2021 VARIOUS The Faber poetry list, originally founded in the 1920s, was shaped by the taste of T. S. Eliot, who was its guiding light for nearly forty years. Each passing decade has seen the list grow with the addition of poets who are arguably the finest of their generation. The Faber Poetry Diary is a celebration of this remarkable Faber list. Illustrated throughout with vintage and contemporary book jackets the diary has a sturdy cover and an elastic closure. The Liberty Poetry Diary is covered with Liberty London Fabric.

The longest ship ever built, the heaviest digger and the largest aeroplane, the world’s first working motorcar, and its most expensive one. What machines like these have in common is that they all say a lot about the inventiveness and imagination of the people who conceived and created them. Some of them are useful, others are just a bit of fun, but the best ones are truly magnificent, and fascinating to discover.
