I& #39;ve got a book coming out in a few weeks. I haven& #39;t said much about it because I& #39;m a reluctant self-publicist at the best of times which these clearly aren& #39;t, but I am proud of it. I think it& #39;s good and maybe even a little important.
Rather than shouting about it then - I& #39;m going to hope, for now, that maybe you& #39;ll check it out anyway - here are some other upcoming and recently published books I think you& #39;ll enjoy by excellent people you should consider supporting.
Musa Okwonga is one of our most insightful, eloquent and incisive commentators, which you& #39;ll know if you& #39;ve read his work in the Byline Times. His forthcoming memoir, One of Them, will be essential. You can support it here and read an excerpt: https://twitter.com/Okwonga/status/1318470536385757184">https://twitter.com/Okwonga/s...
As they so nearly said in The Wire, if you tweet at the king you best not disrespect the series comma. The king is @BCDreyer. Writing is at least 41% confidence and to boost yours Dreyer& #39;s English is the only writing guide you need. Generous, brilliant and funny, like its author.
Nadifa Mohamed has a new novel out next year! As people wiser than me have often observed, Nadifa is one of our finest writers, and the story behind her latest - which she researched for years - is fascinating, terrifying and terrifyingly timely. Preorder. https://twitter.com/thesailorsgirl/status/1317135816834060289">https://twitter.com/thesailor...
A book that& #39;s getting a lot of attention, and by God is it deserved: @patsharp (with his cowriters @lukecatterson and @darrenrichman) has written a sortabiography that& #39;s the perfect balm for our times. If you don& #39;t lol, you need to work on your timing. https://twitter.com/anitathetweeter/status/1319364736648183808">https://twitter.com/anitathet...
@NesrineMalik is, well, Nesrine Malik. Her new book is a brilliant and essential debunking of the myths of our age (white victimhood, the threat of "wokeness") and a timely reframing of the intractable culture war we& #39;re apparently embroiled in. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Need-New-Stories-Challenging-Discontent/dp/1474610420/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=73962672444&dchild=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrdLf2r_K7AIV1GDmCh2jkA-uEAAYASAAEgIlePD_BwE&hvadid=357974706848&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1007004&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=5108946631786468784&hvtargid=kwd-323806539961&hydadcr=10774_1789783&keywords=nesrine+malik&qid=1603448659&sr=8-1&tag=googhydr-21">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Need-New-...
