From the author of the prize-winning As the Women Lay Dreaming and In a Veil of Mist comes a remarkable ‘unreliable biography’ of Karl Kjerúlf Einarsson: an artist and an adventurer, a polyglot and a performer, a charlatan and a swindler, forever in search of Atlantis.

The Call of the Cormorant will be published on October 20th, 2022 and is available to preorder now.

About The Call of the Cormorant:
As a child in the windswept, fog-bound Faroe Islands in the late nineteenth century, Karl Einarsson wants only to escape, believing he is special, destined for a life of art and adventure. As soon as he can, he sets out for Copenhagen and beyond, styling himself as the Count of St. Kilda. He’s an observer and citizen of nowhere with a talent for self-reinvention, serially scamming everyone from fishermen to aristocrats.

But when his adventures find him in 1930s Berlin, he is forced for the first time to reckon with something much bigger than himself. As the Nazis rise to power around him, his wilful ignorance becomes unwitting complicity, even betrayal.

Based on a true story, this is a fantastical tale of island claustrophobia, of those who leave and those who stay behind, and the many dangers of delusions, deceit and false identities.

Our publishing manager visited Whitby over the weekend for a very special photoshoot with a seagull. Our feathered friend wasn't the easiest model to work with as they're pretty notorious for being loud, rowdy and often flying away from set - such a diva!

Nevertheless, we still think they enjoyed themselves being photographed with @adamjfarrer's debut book, Cold Fish Soup! 🌊🐦

Who's been reading Cold Fish Soup over the weekend?

Readers say Adam Farrer's Cold Fish Soup is 'witty', 'moving' and 'laced with humanity'.

Moving to Withernsea represented one thing to Adam: a chance to leave the insecurities of early adolescence behind. And he could do that anywhere. What he didn’t know was how much he’d grow to love the quirks and people of this faded Yorkshire resort, in spite of its dilapidated attractions and retreating clifftops.

Adam lays bare experiences that are universal. His insights on family, friendship, male mental health and suicide are revealed in stories of reinvention, rapacious seagulls, interdimensional werewolves, burlesque dancing pensioners, and his compulsion towards the sea.

Cold Fish Soup is an affectionate look at a place and its inhabitants, the ways in which they can shape and influence someone, and the hope – and hilarity – that can be found in community.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, oh I do like to be beside the (very cold) sea 🎶

It's publication day for @adamjfarrer and his debut book, Cold Fish Soup, a stunning memoir of his life in Withernsea, East Yorkshire.

Cold Fish Soup is an affectionate look at a place and it's inhabitants, and the ways in which they can shape and influence someone, especially of an impressionable age.

Adam's account explores what it means to love and be shaped by a place that is under threat, and the hope - and hilarity - that can be found in community.

Happy reading!

🥶 🐟 🥣
