What a great night listening to Gabriel Flynn discuss his debut novel Poor Ghost with @acottrellboyce. Touching on class, storytelling and Gabriel's evocative depiction of Manchester (fishing for hand grenades with magnets, anyone?). Pick up a signed copy while you can!
Next Thursday we are excited to host a cohort of scholars for a symposium as part of a British Academy funded project on "British Israelism and the Imperial Imagination." One of our contributors, @acottrellboyce, offers an overview of the subject: cdamm.org/articles/british-iā¦
Look what's arrived!
Congratulations @JoMcMillan
'The Accidental Immigrants is a triumph: ferociously political and yet deeply personal, it is soaring feat of the imagination, tethered firmly to the here and now' @acottrellboyce@thebookseller@BAbooksellers
Fun and Games by John Patrick McHugh is essentially unputdownable in my view. So moving, so believable, so unsparing of yet merciful towards its characters. Funny and heartbreaking (what more can you ask for?).
Such a joy to read this book. It is funny and angry and pacy and timely. Nicola Barker really and truly is one of the biggest imaginations in the business.
I was amazed by this book. Completely convincing world building, propulsive plot but most importantly so profoundly personalist, political, serious-minded. Itās a soaring feat of imagination tethered firmly to the present. Congratulations @Ofmooseandmen and @JoMcMillan
