🎉COMING SOON – AND SO DID I by Malachi Whitaker

Here’s a glowing review of the text from when it was first published!

📖Spanning the years 1937-1938, ‘And So Did I’ is both a record of daily existence and an impressionistic account of Whitaker’s life told through memories, speculations, and daydreams. Decades ahead of its time, it is a precursor to the genre-bending work of writers like Annie Ernaux and Deborah Levy.

Decades ahead of its time, it is a precursor to the genre-bending work of writers like Annie Ernaux and Deborah Levy.

❓‘What is the use of life?’ when danger lurks all around, Whitaker asks. Her determination to find joy in plants, insects, children, music, food and books will resonate with readers asking similar questions today.

🎉BIG NEWS – a fascinating article on Gertrude Trevelyan in (written by Oliver Soden)!

“Her novels are exciting and unclassifiable, for the admirable reason that she permitted the topic to dictate the technique, rather than the other way about.”

🎉Happy Father's Day!!!

💙What better way to celebrate the father figure in your life than by buying them a good book - Tim Atkins' On Fathers < On Daughtyrs is the perfect pick!

💙Tim Atkins casts a warm eye on the many and various pleasures of being the father of two daughters. In a brand new poetics of the transcendent domestic, which combines the styles of The New York School and Britain’s Tom Raworth, slapstick and tragedy coexist on every page.

🗣Gertrude Trevelyan tells the story of Jean, an otherwise ordinary working-class London girl, who sees what no one else can: the future. Telling Jean’s story through her eyes and words, Trevelyan’s demonstrates an uncanny insight into the gift and curse of an exceptional power.
