Praise for Oyamada’s writing: ‘Surreal and mesmerizing’ New York Times ‘Haunting and transformative’ Lauren van den Berg
Two friends meet across three dinners. In the back room of a pet shop, they snack on dried shrimps and discuss fish-breeding. In a remote new home in the mountains, they look for a solution to a weasel infestation. During a dinner party in a blizzard, a mounting claustrophobia makes way for uneasy dreams. Their conversations often take them in surprising directions, but when one of the men becomes a father, more and more is left unsaid.

The story of a family falling apart and trying to save itself that tackles some of the most urgent issues of our time with intelligence and a deadpan, mischievous wit. Pol suffers from a rare hormonal disorder that ages him erratically. With his condition dormant, Pol and his wife Caroline are happy enough, even if his obsessive interest in the writings of an obscure seventeenth-century Puritan prophet have put a strain on their marriage. But the advent of political conflict on the streets and Pol’s dormant condition threatening to resurface put both the safety and happiness of his family on the line.

A smart, zeitgeisty debut, about a woman on the brink, that moves between actual London and virtual Mexico – for fans of Jenny Offill, Sheila Heti and Patricia Lockwood. Margit is at the point in life when things should have cohered – but they haven’t. One day, a picture of 43 missing Mexican students catches her eye in a newspaper. And so begins Margit’s obsession with the desaparecidos. As she heads off down the rabbit holes and cul-de-sacs of Google Maps, this is a novel that captures the texture of life in a frictionless city with drop-pin accuracy, while asking: is it possible to recover what is lost without losing oneself?

The posthumous final book from America’s most innovative biographer: Malcolm turns her unblinking gaze upon her own life to create this unique memoir in snapshots. For decades, Janet Malcolm’s books and dispatches for the New Yorker poked and prodded at biographical convention, gesturing towards the artifice that underpins both public and private selves. Here, in the final months of her life, Malcolm turned her sharp eye on her own past, examining twelve family photographs to construct a memoir from camera-caught moments, each of which pose questions of their own.

Bullough Sarn Helen A Journey Through Wales, Past, Present and Future With
Sarn Helen – Helen’s Causeway – is the old Roman Road that runs from the south coast of Wales to the north. As Tom Bullough walks the route, he explores the political, cultural and mythical history of this small, divided country. Threaded alongside this journey are conversations with climate scientists and the story of Bullough’s engagement with the issue of the climate crisis and its likely impact on Wales of the future, which is – in miniature – our wider future.
From the author of Addlands, an evocative journey through Wales and a resonant meditation upon the way in which we are shaped by place and in turn shape the landscape – potentially irrevocably.

It was over, she thought. She should leave. There was only one road out of Thorndike, which meant that he knew the direction she had taken; and even if he hadn’t seen her bicycle, he had certainly seen her pannier. He knew her alias, her business, her intentions – and he had known more than what she’d told him. He had known she hadn’t taken any pictures with her camera. He had known she’d been on the property four hours. And somehow, somehow, he had known her name.

Birnam Wood is on the move... A landslide has isolated the town of Thorndike on New Zealand’s South Island, leaving a sizeable farm abandoned, and presenting an opportunity for Birnam Wood, a guerrilla gardening collective. But they hadn’t figured on the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine, who also has an interest in the land. Can they trust him? And as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each other? Shakespearean in its wit and flair, Birnam Wood is a brilliantly constructed tale of intentions, actions and consequences.

The title of this book – as titles so often are –is a lie. This is not a biography, but rather a wrong turn taken and followed, the document of a woman learning what she should have let lie in ignorance. Perhaps that’s what all books are, the end of someone’s trouble, someone putting their trouble into a pleasing order so that someone else will look at it.

Philosophers have no special store of information. Their unique skill is the ability to think without a safety net. So if we want to know how to think better, without resort to specialist knowledge, it is hard to find better models.
Philosophy does not have a monopoly on rigorous reasoning, and nor is it immune to sloppy thought. But it is uniquely focused on the need to think straight. Every other discipline has something more concrete to rely on. Scientists have experiments, economists data, anthropologists participant observation, historians documents, archaeologists artefacts.

As politics slides toward impulsivity, and outrage bests rationality, how can philosophy help us critically engage with the real world? The twelve principles identified in How to Think Like a Philosopher are a revelatory exploration of philosophy’s guiding maxims, and how they can be applied to our own lives. Covering both canonical and contemporary philosophers, Baggini draws on decades of enquiry and a huge range of interviews to develop an essential guide to good thinking.

The late afternoon was already chilly with an eastern breeze whipping off the North Sea, but that wasn’t deterring anyone. Swimming costumes were hung on the promenade rails, a group of men peeled off wet costumes, and slapped each other’s backs heartily in the exuberance which comes after a swim. The tide was coming in, squeezing the available beach and everyone was on the move, shifting deckchairs and picnic blankets until they were up against the promenade. Big beaches attract the crowds, and the high tides helpfully force holidaymakers into the chip shops, pubs, ice cream parlours and amusement arcades; it’s the perfect combination.

A vivid journey around England’s great seaside resorts, exploring their history and current struggle, and what they reveal about England, from the award-winning author of Love of Country. England’s seaside resorts are hugely popular places of pleasure, entertainment, fantasy and adventure. Madeleine Bunting set out to understand their enduring appeal, and what has happened to the golden sands, cold seas and donkey rides of our memories. Journeying clockwise around England from Scarborough to Blackpool along a striking variety of coastlines, she finds places struggling with the deepest deprivation and ill health in the country and explores how, in their poverty and neglect, these holiday towns still so influential in England’s history and in the shaping of our national identity, speak powerfully of the character, priorities and state of England today.

virginiaoriginal woolf (1882–1941) is recognised as one of the most innovative writers of the 20th century, best known for her novels Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse anne olivier bell (1916–2018) edited the diaries of Virginia Woolf, publishing them in five volumes starting in 1977.
New editions of the complete diaries of Virginia Woolf, introduced by a stellar line-up of contemporary writers: Virginia Nicholson, Adam Phillips, Olivia Laing, Margo Jefferson and Siri Hustvedt. Between 1915 (when she was 33) to the end of her life in 1941, Woolf kept a fairly regular journal, recording both the activities of her daily life, the weather and the world around her, as well as her observations on art, literature, politics and people.
At times, these entries read like initial sketches for her published works; at others, they have the intimacy and candour of a letter to a friend; and always, they offer a dash of quicksilver impressions that capture the texture of her existence in that particular moment. Since they were first published over 40 years ago, these volumes have attained the status of classics. These new Granta editions are published unexpurgated for the first time, and each one features a specially commissioned foreword.

When Tom de Freston began making artworks with Ali, a survivor of the Syrian war, he was drawn obsessively to Géricault's monumental painting, The Raft of the Medusa. Its depiction of suffering and redemption resonated powerfully with Ali’s story, as well as de Freston’s own experiences. Charting the magnetic frisson that runs between artist and subject, past masterpiece and contemporary artistic endeavour, Wreck is a startling and revelatory dive into violence, fear, trauma – and the hope that emerges with survival.
