Our Spring 2018 season opens with the thrilling roar of young female voices: Ruby Tandoh’s passionate case for taking pleasure in what we eat, Abi Andrews’ novel reinventing the wilderness adventure and Carmen Maria Machado’s intensely charged stories mapping the violence visited on women’s bodies. These new writers remind us that the phrase ‘the personal is political’ is as relevant to all of us as ever. They are watched over sagely by Chris Kraus, whose trilogy we complete with Aliens & Anorexia, and Joanna Walsh’s ‘novel in essays’ Break.up.

Eat Up!
New title
A Book about Food, Appetite and Eating What You Want Ruby Tandoh
Ruby Tandoh’s radical manifesto takes the guilt out of eating and puts the pleasure back in Eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Food nourishes our bodies, helps us celebrate our successes, cheers us up when we’re down, introduces us to new cultures and – when we cook and eat together – connects us with the people we love. In Eat Up!, Tandoh celebrates the fun and pleasure of food, taking a look at everything from gluttons and gourmets in the movies to the symbolism of food and sex. She will arm you against the fad diets, food crazes and bad science that can make eating guilt-laden and expensive. Filled with straight-talking, sympathetic advice on everything from mental health to recipe ideas and shopping tips, this is a book that clears away the fog to help you remember the joys of food.
In 2017 Ruby sold 5,500 copies of her zine Do What You Want Ruby has over 100,000 followers on social media ‘Who is she?’ Twitter user @piersmorgan

The Word for Woman is Wilderness
Debut
Abi Andrews
GO WEST, YOUNG WOMAN Erin is 19. She’s never really left England, but she has watched Bear Grylls and wonders why it’s always men who get to go on all the cool wilderness adventures. So Erin sets off on a voyage to Alaska, a one-woman challenge to the archetype of the rugged male explorer. As Erin’s journey takes her through the Arctic Circle, across the entire breadth of the American continent and finally to a lonely cabin in the wilds of Denali, she explores subjects as diverse as the moon landings, the Gaia hypothesis, loneliness, nuclear war, shamanism and the pill. Filled with a sense of wonder for the natural world and a fierce love for preserving it, The Word for Woman is Wilderness is a funny, frank and tender account of a young woman in uncharted territory.
A warm, open-hearted and ambitious novel about the world and our place in it, The Word for Woman is Wilderness is Walden meets I Love Dick Will appeal to fans of Margaret Atwood, Maggie Nelson and Chris Kraus

Her Body and Other Parties
Debut
Carmen Maria Machado
The highly anticipated, genre-bending debut reminiscent of Angela Carter In these provocative stories, startling narratives map the realities of women’s lives and the violence visited on their bodies. Machado demolishes the borders between magical realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism. A wife refuses her husband’s entreaties to remove the mysterious green ribbon from around her neck. A woman recounts her sexual encounters as a plague spreads across the earth. A sales clerk in a mall makes a horrifying discovery about the store’s dresses. One woman’s surgery-induced weight loss results in an unwanted house guest. Sexy and caustic, comic and cut-throat, Her Body and Other Parties is brilliant, disturbing and exquisite.
‘Brilliantly inventive and blazingly smart, these stories have the life-and-death stakes of nightmares and fairy tales; they’re full of urgent, almost unbearable reality. Carmen Machado is an extraordinary writer, an essential voice’ Garth Greenwell ‘The stories in Her Body and Other Parties v ibrate with originality, queerness, sensuality and the strange’ Roxane Gay
Carmen Maria Machado is a writer, critic, and essayist whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, Granta, Guernica, Electric Literature, The Paris Review, VICE and elsewhere. She is the Artist in Residence at the University of Pennsylvania, and lives in Philadelphia with her partner.

Aliens & Anorexia Chris Kraus
The searing sequel to bestselling cult classic I Love Dick After the events of I Love Dick, Chris is left chronicling the critical failure of Gravity & Grace, her low-budget independent film. Around her, Aliens & Anorexia unfolds like a set of Chinese boxes, revealing the lives of earnest visionaries and failed artists. Prominent among its characters is Simone Weil, the first radical philosopher of sadness, whose severe fasting contributed to her death at the age of 34. In Aliens & Anorexia, Kraus launches a rescue mission for intellectual and artistic ‘aliens’ like Weil, redefining the aesthetics of vulnerability and making a case for empathy as the ultimate perceptive tool. Filled with Kraus’s trademark wit and clear-sightedness, Aliens & Anorexia completes the celebrated trilogy that it forms with I Love Dick and Torpor.

Break.up Joanna Walsh
Love and loss in the information age The internet has collapsed the boundaries of time and space. However far apart lovers are, they can instantly be present. So, can they ever really break up? This is the question Walsh’s narrator must reckon with as she travels across Europe after the end of a love affair conducted largely online. This pilgrimage through ‘offline’ space dictated by chance wrestles with converting longing into language. It reclaims and reshapes the territory of the male travel writer by creating personal and innovative maps of cities by which Walsh navigates the complexities of modern love. This is a stimulating, original work which dismantles what we know of borders – between places, people and genres – and love.
‘Joanna Walsh is fast becoming one of our most important writers’ Deborah Levy ‘A sublimely elegant writer … artful and intelligent’ New Statesman ‘Walsh’s writing has intellectual rigour and bags of formal bravery’ Financial Times

In 1977, policeman Bob Fraser and journalist Jack Whitehead struggle against their own flaws as they follow the trail of the Yorkshire Ripper. In 1980, Assistant Chief Constable Peter Hunter is brought in from Manchester to investigate the Yorkshire Ripper – and, in secret, local police corruption.

The Price You Pay
New title
Aidan Truhen
Get mad, get even, get paid. (What kind of loser stops at getting even?) Didi’s dead. That’s sad. Jack Price isn’t sad, because Jack Price doesn’t care about Didi. Jack Price is just angry, because if anyone was going to brutally murder his cranky old neighbour, it was Jack Price. But when Jack takes matters into his own hands, he gets a contract taken out on him. An assassination-by-internationally-renowned-terrorist-organisation type contract. Now, on a level playing field against a team of professional killers, Jack would be seven shades of grey matter in a back alley. But Jack Price doesn’t play fair. Jack Price is the Ho Chi Minh, the Warren Buffett, the Miley fucking Cyrus of avenging psychopaths. And these guys are gonna pay. Wise-talking, hilarious, exhilaratingly extravagant, The Price You Pay is the revenge thriller they warned you about.
American Psycho meets Kill Bill, The Price You Pay is the most fun you can legally have with a novel Fans of John Niven, Carl Hiaasen and Chris Brookmyre will love Aidan Truhen – and there’s more to come
Aidan Truhen is a pen name of a writer gone AWOL. He is not your grandmother’s crime novelist. The Price You Pay is Aidan Truhen’s first novel. There’ll be more though, so you’ll want to save up. That or move somewhere they don’t sell books. Your call.

Letti Park
New title
Judith Hermann
Brand new short fiction from the prize-winning author of Alice Judith Hermann’s masterly new stories reveal the inconceivable drama of existence: what happens when we meet someone? In Letti Park, strangers wander into ordinary lives and change them profoundly, while loved ones transform in sudden and unknowable ways. A woman has an unnerving meeting with a strange boy in a caravan park; two holidaymakers try to find lodgings in a foreign city; a man recalls meeting a famous astronaut; a woman watches an actor-friend prepare to go on stage. Like us, Judith Hermann’s characters have no defence against these intense and unpredictable encounters. They occur at random and unfold beneath the threshold of comprehension. In Letti Park, Judith Hermann explores this allimportant moment, and all our loneliness and rage and longing.

Graffiti Palace
Debut
A. G. Lombardo
A young black man trails an outlandish odyssey across riot-struck Los Angeles It’s August 1965 and Los Angeles is scorching – and when white police officers arrest an ordinary black Angeleno named Marquette Frye, they light the touchpaper on six days of rioting. Graffiti Palace follows young AfricanAmerican graffiti expert Americo Monk as he tries to get home through the chaos, telling the secret history of the riots – and the unfolding story of Los Angeles and black America – along the way. As Monk travels through the streets of South Central LA, he orients himself by gang tags and more intricate and mysterious graffiti symbols. But the cops and the gangs are after the notebook where Monk records the city’s graffiti, and which might just be the key to the secret tides of power ebbing below the surface of the city …
Fiercely inventive literary debut to compare with American literary heavyweights like Paul Beatty and Colson Whitehead, filled with memorable characters – including Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad, sewer-dwelling crack dealers and a legendary Mexican muralist
A. G. Lombardo is a native Angeleno who teaches at a Los Angeles public high school. Graffiti Palace is his debut novel.

Rave On
New title
Global Adventures in Electronic Dance Music Matthew Collin
A state-of-the-nation account of rave culture today Electronic dance music was once the utopian frontier of pop culture. But three decades after the acid house ‘summer of love’, it has gone from subculture to the global mainstream. Does it still have the same power to inspire? From the pleasure palaces of Ibiza and Las Vegas to ‘new frontiers’ like Shanghai and Dubai, raving is now a multi-million-dollar business. But there are still hardcore believers upholding its DIY ethos – the techno idealists of Berlin and Detroit and the queer subcults of New York, the post-apartheid party people of South Africa and the outlaw techno travellers of France. In Rave On, Matthew Collin travels the world to experience these unique scenes first-hand, talk to the key players and hear the story of how dance culture went global – and find out if its maverick spirit can survive its own success.
Praise for Altered State:

The World Goes On László Krasznahorkai
A new masterpiece from Europe’s leading literary genius A Hungarian interpreter obsessed with waterfalls, at the edge of the abyss in his own mind, wanders the chaotic streets of Shanghai. A traveller, reeling from the sights and sounds of Varanasi, encounters a giant of a man on the banks of the Ganges ranting on the nature of a single drop of water. A child labourer in a Portuguese marble quarry wanders off from work one day into a surreal realm utterly alien from his daily toils. In The World Goes On, a narrator first speaks directly, then tells twenty-one unforgettable stories, and then bids farewell (‘for here I would leave this earth and these stars, because I would take nothing with me’). As Adam Thirlwell wrote in the New York Review of Books, Krasznahorkai is ‘one of the great inventors of new forms in contemporary literature’, and The World Goes On sees him continuing to push at the bounds of fiction.

Rediscover the haunting debut novel by the author of The Essex Serpent One hot summer’s day, John Cole decides to leave his life behind. He shuts up the bookshop no one ever comes to and drives out of London. When his car breaks down and he becomes lost on an isolated road, he goes looking for help, and stumbles into the grounds of a grand but dilapidated house. Its residents welcome him with open arms – but there’s more to this strange community than meets the eye. They all know him by name, they’ve prepared a room for him and claim to have been waiting for him all along. Who are these people? And what do they intend for John? Elegant, quietly sinister and psychologically complex, After Me Comes The Flood announced the arrival of a major new voice in British fiction.
