“Fun and funny, sly and serious, a beguiling lit “Fun and funny, sly and serious, a beguiling literary game that manages to say more about the nature of the self than any number of more self-consciously solemn works.” David Szalay “A novel of mind-bending brilliance. Graeme Macrae Burnet is a master of muddying the waters, of troubling ideas of truth and identity, fiction and documentary, and Case Study shows him at the height of his powers.” Hannah Kent “A thrilling investigation into the nature of sanity and identity.” Alice O’Keeffe, @_thebookseller "A wonderful book, very beautifully and intricately written, finely detailed and at time laugh-out-loud funny, populated by satisfying well-drawn characters." Arabella Weir “What a book! The characterisation is superb.” Catherine Simpson From the author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted His Bloody Project. Case Study is a dazzling investigation into sanity, identity and truth itself.

In EXTRACTION TO EXTINCTION, David Howe traces our In EXTRACTION TO EXTINCTION, David Howe traces our environmental impact through time to unearth how our obsession with endlessly producing and throwing away more and more stuff has pushed the planet to its limit. 🌎 Today, we mine, quarry, pump, cut, blast and crush the Earth’s resources at an unprecedented rate. We shift many times more rock, soil and sediment each year than the world’s rivers and glaciers, wind and rain combined. Plastics alone now weigh twice as much as all the marine and terrestrial animals around the globe. We have become a dominant, even dangerous, force on the planet. 🌍 “A lyrical and questing narrative of how humans have used and abused natural resources down the ages … long-brewed technical knowledge combined with an easy story-teller’s acumen, fluency and wisdom.” - Michael Leeder, Professor Emeritus at UEA Norwich #extractiontoextinction #climatechange #environment #suistanability #sustainabilitymatters #geologyrocks #geology #naturalresources #rocksandminerals #COP26 #sixthextinction #manmade #newnonfiction #smartreads #environmentalscience #ecocriticism #ecobooks
New publication 🚨 Happy pub day to #NorthBound New publication 🚨 Happy pub day to #NorthBoundAward -winning APPROVAL by John D. Rutter! 🥳 Approval is a powerful meditation on judgment, the adoption process and fatherhood, told from a perspective rarely explored in fiction: a man’s response to a couple’s infertility. 🧍 “An affecting and beautifully wrought story of one couple's journey towards what they most desire – a child – and the cost of reaching out for one. A hugely promising debut.” Rodge Glass #northernbookaward #nothernwriters #northernauthor #northernindie #indiepublishing #debutauthor #adoption #adoptionprocess #parenthood #newfiction #familyfiction #literaryfiction #whattoread #bookstagram #instareads #instabooks #NorthBound
“Notions of spirit of place thread through the b “Notions of spirit of place thread through the book … soulful but resisting the ethereal.” @cumbrialifemag Book of the Month, June “Wonderful … The language throughout is delicious. Intelligent and cultured, but not flowery or overblown. He paints vivid pictures in my mind … one feels that one is standing on the hillside with him.” Mark Avery “Another great book by Crumley. Being taken out of the comfort zone of his usual patch in Scotland has proved his mettle as a quality writer about the natural world … Great stuff.” Paul Cheney(Halfman, Halfbook) With a naturalist’s eye and a poet’s instinct Jim Crumley is drawn to Lakeland’s turned-aside places where nature still thrives, from low-lying shores to a high mountain oakwood that’s not even on the map. Lakeland Wild is a delight. Cover art: @tessakennedy_art #naturewriting #lakedistrict #lakeland #writingthelakes #thelakes #booksonnature #naturebooks #jimcrumley
ONE WEEK TO GO 📢 APPROVAL follows would-be par ONE WEEK TO GO 📢 APPROVAL follows would-be parents David and Cici through a series of forays into their past as they try to adopt a child.

For #WITMonth, we spoke to award-winning translato For #WITMonth, we spoke to award-winning translator Antoinette Fawcett about her experience of translating SHOCKED EARTH by Saskia Goldschmidt. From replicating the feeling of the novel to individual word choices, you can read about it on the blog 🍃. “Each of the main characters in the novel is distinctively different, and to a greater or lesser extent reflecting local speech patterns in their dialogue. There’s Zwier, for example, the patriarch of the family…. He has a catch-phrase ‘Zo is dat’, which literally translated would probably be something like ‘that’s how it is’. Because the novel is set in the north of the Netherlands, I made a decision early in its translation that I would use Northern English speech patterns, and occasional dialect words, where appropriate. This led me to ‘Right enough’ and ‘Aye, right enough’, depending on the context.” Link to blog in bio. 📖 #womenintranslation #translatedliterature #literarytranslator #readwomen #wit2021 #readwit #bookstagram #whattoread #translatedbooks #shockedearth

Antoinette Fawcett). Available to all. Link in bio. "exquisitely captures the way our lives and identities are interwoven with the land we live on, and how its destruction will ultimately be our own.” Helen Sedgwick “Written with attentiveness to the complex relationship between landscape, community and nature … a powerful and moving story of love, loss and determination to look ahead to the future.” Ben Smith, author of Doggerland “One of my favourite books of [the year] … this book’s humanity is precisely where its power lies.” Helen Vassallo, Translating Women “A powerful testament to what happens when those with a deep connection to the earth are silenced and displaced.” Emma Yates-Badley @northern_souls_ “Contemporary dilemmas of land and industry, love and rebellion are played out through three generations of a family and spare fields and lonnings.” @cumbrialifemag #readwomen #translatedliterature #translatedfiction #womenintranslation #shockedearth #enviornmentalfiction #ecofiction #bookclubofinstagram #bookgrouprecommendations #bookclubread

We're so delighted that @adamjfarrer has won the 2 We're so delighted that @adamjfarrer has won the 2021 #NorthBoundAward for his outstanding memoir in essays, #ColdFishSoup. It's funny but covers serious terrain. It's about a crumbling #Yorkshire seaside resort (at least, the cliffs are crumbling) and the people who live there. It's about Adam's family – they've Got Talent – and it's about growing up, swimming in the North Sea, contemplating the birds, playing in a band, and facing up to life's big questions. And more. We can't wait to publish it. Congratulations, Adam! #NorthboundBookAward #newwritersawards #readthenorth #debutauthor #writingprizes #prizewinner #memoir #lifewriting
