Sarah, Head of Marketing and Digital
Embracing the full spectrum of colour, Sarah's stack leaps from genre to genre. Up first is Omar El Akkad's mandatory One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This – a front-runner for the National Book Award. Her list includes inventive works of literary fiction from international heavyweights in Akwaeke Emezi's Little Rot and Solvej Balle's On the Calculation of Volume I. A lover of the celebrated cartoonist Alison Bechdel, pygmy goats and political peril await Sarah in her latest offering, Spent.
Connor, Philanthropy and Partnerships Coordinator
A love letter to the chronically online, Connor's October reading leans unhinged with audacious works of satire from Tony Tulathimutte and Siang Lu. As a child of the 90s, Sophie Gilbert's Girl on Girl is compulsory reading. Emerging from the depths of pop culture, Samantha Shannon's The Bone Season brings a welcome touch of fantasy.
Viv, Digital Marketing Coordinator
This month Viv is continuing her Booker Prize reading with Maria Reva’s Endling. In Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita and Miranda July’s No One Belongs Here More Than You, she’s taking a spin through absurdist lit – both classic and contemporary. Somewhat trepidatiously, Emily Brontë's
Wuthering Heights is on the horizon ahead of the much-discussed adaptation by Emerald Fennell.
Myranda, Digital Marketing Manager
Coming of age for spring? Groundbreaking. Myranda's TBR starts with Kaveh Akbar's bestselling work of psychological fiction Martyr!. Girlhood and female friendship are high on the agenda with two debuts, Just Friends by Gyan Yankovich and Brutes by Dizz Tate. For lazy mornings, the most recent edition of un Magazine, Resonant Imaginaries, makes for the perfect coffee companion. Alex S. Vitale's urgent call to action The End of Policing rounds out a month of gripping reading.
