Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton
COVER REVEAL: Eleanor Catton’s BIRNAM WOOD is coming March 2023! A gripping psychological thriller from @thebookerprizes winning author of #TheLuminaries, BIRNAM WOOD is an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival. Shakespearean in its wit, drama, and immersion in character, it is a brilliantly constructed consideration of intentions, actions, and consequences. Cover designed by Jon Gray, animation by Beginners. Oprah Daily: https://bit.ly/3NChIpG
Five years ago, Mira Bunting founded Birnam Wood, an undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic guerilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. When a landslide closes the Korowai Pass, cutting off the town of Thorndike and leaving a sizable farm seemingly abandoned, it gives them a chance to finally break even. But Mira discovers that Robert Lemoine, the enigmatic American billionaire, has snatched it up to build an end-times bunker. He offers to let them stay. But can they trust him? And, as their ideals are tested, can they trust each other?
Faith, Hope and Carnage
FAITH, HOPE AND CARNAGE, the new book from Nick Cave with Sean O’Hagan, is coming September 20.

The book examines questions of faith, art, music, freedom, grief and love. It draws candidly on Cave’s life, from his early childhood to the present day, his loves, his work ethic and his dramatic transformation in recent years. From a place of considered reflection, FAITH, HOPE, AND CARNAGE offers ladders of hope and inspiration from a true creative visionary.

The Dawn of Everything NY Times Bestseller!
THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING is an instant The New York Times bestseller!! 🎉 #2 on the Hardcover Nonfiction list! Congratulations to David Wengrow and the late David Graeber.
🔥 🔥 🔥 Drawing on pathbreaking research in #archaeology and #anthropology, Graeber and Wengrow show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we learn to throw off our conceptual shackles and perceive what’s really there. If humans did not spend 95 percent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of human history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful, hopeful possibilities, than we tend to assume. https://bit.ly/3cq8NqJ
