  • Joan Smokes Angela Meyer

    [trim]‘There is so much to admire in Joan Smokes
– the winning entry of the inaugural Mslexia Novella Competition. Its pared-back brittle language is as stark as the Nevada landscape. It’s a sophisticated piece of writing, in which the author pushes at the boundaries of language and form; anguish and suffering are evoked at every turn, in thwarted rhythms and rough syntax. But the real magic is in how the author puts the reader so surely in the protagonist’s shoes. It feels like a cliché to say that good writing should ‘suck you into another psyche’ as Barbara Kingsolver puts it, but empathy is what we all need more of, especially now. As an act of empathy, as well as a beautifully rendered work of literature, Joan Smokes shines.’ Eloise Millar, Mslexia judge[/trim]

  • Chinese Spring Christopher New

Vaccine’s here, and spring will be soon. Time to Vaccine’s here, and spring will be soon. Time to start planning journeys and adventures for 2021?

Everything Passes, Everything Remains by Chris Dolan has stories and routes through Spain – and through time. The Camino Santiago. Coast-to-coast cycles. Paths less travelled in Extremadura and the Alpujarras. Flamenco in Cádiz, tapas in Valencia…

Along the way, songs and poems and Spanish history – from Tordesillas to Catalonia. And the hi-jinks of an ageing, iffy busking band – on bikes.

It's the perfect Christmas gift for anyone in need of adventure inspiration.

¡Adelante¡

Bleak: the mundane comedy R.M. Murray OUT 19 NOVEM Bleak: the mundane comedy
R.M. Murray
OUT 19 NOVEMBER

Murray has a story. Quite a few of them. Of seasickness, hangovers, the wrong kind of weather. Of the joy of woe, and disappointments fairy-lit with hope. So this is a memoir… of sorts.
