The Things We

In The Things We⠙ve Seen, his most ambitious and accomplished novel to date, Agustín Fernández Mallo captures the strangeness and interconnectedness of human existence in the twenty-first century. A writer travels to the small uninhabited island of San Simón, used as a Franquist concentration camp during the Spanish Civil War, and witnesses events which impel him on a wild goose chase across several continents. In Miami, an ageing Kurt Montana, the fourth astronaut who secretly accompanied Neil Armstrong and co. to the moon, revisits the important chapters in his life, from serving in the Vietnam War to his memory of seeing earth from space. In Normandy, a woman embarks on a walking tour of the D-Day beaches with the goal of re-enacting, step by step, another trip taken years before. Described as the novel David Lynch and W. G. Sebald might have written had they joined forces to explore the B-side of reality, The Things We⠙ve Seen is a mind-bending novel for our disjointed times.

How the World Ran Out of Everything - Goodman Peter S.

By the New York TimesÂ’s Global Economics Correspondent, an extraordinary journey to understand the worldwide supply chain—exposing both the fascinating pathways of manufacturing and transportation that bring products to your doorstep, and the ruthless business logic that has left local communities at the mercy of a complex and fragile network for their basic necessities. A tale that will change how you look at the world.  —Mark LeibovichOne of Foreign Policy s Best Books of the Year How does the wealthiest country on earth run out of protective gear in the middle of a public health catastrophe? How do its parents find themselves unable to locate crucially needed infant formula? How do its largest companies spend billions of dollars making cars that no one can drive for a lack of chips?The last few years have radically highlighted the intricacy and fragility of the global supply chain. Enormous ships were stuck at sea, warehouses overflowed, and delivery trucks stalled. The result was a scarcity of everything from breakfast cereal to medical devices, from frivolous goods to lifesaving necessities. And while the scale of the pandemic shock was unprecedented, it underscored the troubling reality that the system was fundamentally at risk of descending into chaos all along. And it still is. Sabotaged by financial interests, loss of transparency in markets, and worsening working conditions for the people tasked with keeping the gears turning, our global supply chain has become perpetually on the brink of collapse.In How the World Ran Out of Everything, award-winning journalist Peter S. Goodman reveals the fascinating innerworkings of our supply chain and the factors that have led to its constant, dangerous vulnerability. His reporting takes readers deep into the elaborate system, showcasing the triumphs and struggles of the human players who operate it—from factories in Asia and an almond grower in Northern California, to a group of striking railroad workers in Texas, to a truck driver who Goodman accompanies across hundreds of miles of the Great Plains. Through their stories, Goodman weaves a powerful argument for reforming a supply chain to become truly reliable and resilient, demanding a radical redrawing of the bargain between labor and shareholders, and deeper attention paid to how we get the things we need.From one of the most respected economic journalists working today, How the World Ran Out of Everything is a fiercely smart, deeply informative look at how our supply chain operates, and why its reform is crucial—not only to avoid dysfunction in our day to day lives, but to protect the fate of our global fortunes.Â

In the Rhododendrons - Heather Christle

IN THE RHODODENDRONS is vital consolation, amidst the amidst. It s a triumph, an instant classic. Christle has become one of our art s most urgent living practitioners Kaveh Akbar, author of Martyr!When Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with.When Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with.On a recent visit to London s Kew Gardens, Christle s mother revealed details of a painful story from her past that took place there, under circumstances that strangely paralleled Heather s own sexual assault during a visit to London as a teenager.Her private, British mother s revelation - a rare burst of vulnerability in their strained relationship - propels Christle down a deep and destabilising rabbit hole of investigation, as she both reads and wanders the streets of her mother s past, peeling back the layers of family mythologies, England s sanctioned historical narratives, and her own buried memories. Over the course of several trips to London, with and without her mother, she visits her family s birthday hill in Kew Gardens, the now-public homes of the Bloomsbury set, the archives of the British Library, and the backyard garden where Woolf wrote her final sentence. All the while, she finds that Woolf and her writings not only constantly seem to connect and overlap with her mother s story, but also that the author becomes a kind of vital intermediary: a sometimes confidante, sometimes mentor, sometimes distancing lens through which Christle can safely observe her mother and their experiences.Wide-ranging and prismatic, the fruit of an insatiably curious, delightfully brilliant mind, In the Rhododendrons is part memoir, part biography of Virginia Woolf, part reckoning with the things we cannot change and the ways we can completely transform, if we dare. This utterly original book will stir readers into new ways of seeing their own lives.

The Cynic s Guide to Wine, by Sunny Hodge⠦ is one of the best wine books I have read in a long while. ⠔ Yorkshire Post All in all it s a very useful and enjoyable read... ⠔ LifeMuch of what is written about wine, whether in wine books, on bottle labels or in the Sunday supplements uses language that gives wine an air of mystery. While compelling and enticing for the consumer this can also lead to confusion regarding the science of wine as well as fear on the part of the inexperienced wine drinker of ⠘getting wine wrong⠙. In The Cynic⠙s Guide to Wine Sunny Hodge strips wine back to its basic science and unravels the facts behind wine flavours, showing readers a clear path through the verbiage. The text takes in elements of horticulture, soil science, botany and sensory science as well as oenology and is provided in bite-sized chunks aimed at the curious non-scientist. This is a straightforward and eye-opening book for anybody who has ever wanted to question the stories told around wine but was afraid to ask. The wine book all novice wine drinkers need: strips away the pretension and explains what really matters when it comes to producing the flavours in your glass of wine.Questions many of the things we take for granted when it comes to wine, from terroir to the science of wine making.Author is the award-winning owner of two London wine bars who has earned a reputation as a disruptor in the wine trade.

Apothecary for the Afflicted - Dr. Melissa Kim Corter

Apothecary for the Afflicted is a unique and transformative tool disguised as a book. The pages are filled with rich and potent shadow-work practices to uncover the authentic self while healing invisible wounds. Throughout the book, the reader encounters hauntingly beautiful imagery blended with the symbolism of fairy tales. The shadow speaks symbolically because it is beneath our conscious awareness. Therefore, we all have psychological blind spots. The Apothecary for the Afflicted is designed to creatively reveal these blind spots through shadow work practices rooted in the Jungian tradition. In this book, Melissa teaches you about the shadow, how to work with it, and the importance of facing inner darkness. As you work with the materials, you will discover supportive shadow-work practice to soften resistance when difficult emotions, feelings, and sensations rise to the surface. Shadow work involves the transmutation of stuck energy and transformation of repressed feelings. We must confront the things we ignore. There is power hidden in the places we are afraid to look. Within the shadow, the energy remains in limbo, and like a ghost, it eventually begins to haunt us . . . until we face it. To transmute darkness, we must turn our attention toward the many faces of the shadow. We can find the shadow mirrored in our dreams, triggering behaviors, emotional reactions, and qualities we refuse to see within ourselves. We all need a guide to walk with us through dark times, to navigate the unknown and uncover our blind spots. We need someone who can see in the dark. That person is Jungian and depth psychologist Melissa Kim Corter, and this book is your guide. The Apothecary for the Afflicted is a book you will return to time and time again to confront darkness, heal invisible wounds, and reclaim lost parts of the soul.

But we can visit our fears at night, in the dark. We can turn them over and weigh them in our hands and maybe that will protect us from them. But maybe not.The characters in this collection find their aspirations for happy homes, happy families and happy memories dissected and imbued with shimmering menace. Alone in a remote house in Iceland a woman is unnerved by her isolation; another can only find respite from the clinging ghost that follows her by submerging herself in an overgrown pool. Couples wrestle with a lack of connection to their children; a schoolgirl becomes obsessed with the female anatomical models in a museum; and a cheery account of child’s day out is undercut by chilling footnotes.These dark tales explore women’s fears with electrifying honesty and invention and speak to one another about female bodies, domestic claustrophobia, desire and violence. From a talented writer who has been compared to Angela Carter, Things We Say in the Dark is a powerful contemporary collection of feminist stories, ranging from vicious fairy tales to disturbing horror and tender ghost stories.KIRSTY LOGAN WAS SELECTED AS ONE OF BRITAIN S TEN MOST OUTSTANDING LGBTQ WRITERS by Val McDermid for the International Literature Showcase in 2019
