Rendered in vivid watercolour where parquet floors and patterned dresses morph together, The Wrong Place revolves around oft-absent Robbie, a charismatic lothario of mysterious celebrity who has the run of a city as chaotic as it is resplendent. Robbie s sexual energy captivates the attention of men and women alike; his literal and figurative brightness is a startling foil to the dreariness of his childhood friend, Francis. With a hand as sensitive as it is exuberant, Angoulême-winner Brecht Evens s first English graphic novel captures the strange chemistry of social interaction. The Wrong Place contrasts life as it is, angst-ridden and awkward, with life as it can be: spontaneous, uninhibited, and free.

Did you know that the English language has over 150 words for the adjective drunk developed over 1,000 years? Be prepared to learn words you have never heard before, find out fascinating facts behind everyday words, and be surprised at how lively and varied the English language can be. Published to critical acclaim in 2009, the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is the first comprehensive thesaurus in the world to arrange words by meaning in order of first recorded use. Using its unique perspective on how the English language has developed, Words in Time and Place takes 15 themes and explores the language in these areas over time - explaining when new words appeared, where they came from, and what such changes say about times in which they emerged. The themes chosen are varied, universal topics and show the semantic range of the thesaurus and what it can tell us about the words used in areas of everyday life. Learn about the different words for dying and money, or types of pop music, as well as words for a privy, oaths, and words for being drunk. Written by the world s leading expert on the English language, David Crystal, the book carries his trademark style of engaging yet authoritative writing. Each chapter features an introduction to the language of that topic, followed by a timeline of vocabulary taken from the historical thesaurus showing all the synonyms arranged in chronological order. The timelines are annotated with additional quotations, facts, and social and historical context to give a clear sense of how words entered the English language, when, and in which context they were used.Words in Time and Place showcases the unique and excellent resource that is the Historical Thesaurus and reveals the linguistic treasures to be found within. This fascinating book will appeal to anyone with an interest in words and in the development of the English language.

And with property porn thrown in, what #39;s not to like’ Deborah MoggachMillennium Eve and six people gather on a London rooftop. Recently married, Frankie Blue watches with his wife, Veronica, as the sky above the Thames explodes into a kaleidoscope of light. His childhood companion, Colin, ineptly flirts with Roxy, an unlikely first date, while another old friend, Nodge, newly ‘out’, hides his insecurities from his waspish boyfriend. New Labour are at their zenith. The economy booms, awash with cheap credit. The arrival of the smartphone heralds the sudden and vast expansion of social media. Mass immigration from Eastern Europe leave many unsettled while religious extremism threatens violent conflict. An estate agent in a property boom, Frankie is focused simply on getting rich. But can he survive the coming crash? And what will become of his friends - and his marriage - as they are scoured by the winds of change? When We Were Rich finds the characters introduced in Tim Lott #39;s award-winning 1999 debut, White City Blue, struggling to make sense of a new era. Sad, shocking and often hilarious, it is an acutely observed novel of all our lives, set during what was for some a golden time - and for others a nightmare, from which we are yet to wake up. ‘Wickedly funny and deeply humane.

An unforgettable tribute to the unbreakable bond between a father and sonWhen Simon McDermott first noticed his dad Ted⠙s sudden flares of temper and fits of forgetfulness, he couldn⠙t have guessed what lay ahead. Then came the devastating, inevitable diagnosis of Alzheimer⠙s. The dad Simon knew seemed to be drifting further away, and he had no idea how to reach him.Then, one day in the car, Simon hit play on Ted⠙s favourite song. And just like that, they were simply two mates driving around Blackburn, singing at the top of their lungs. That moment would change the course of their lives forever.Simon filmed their adventure, uploaded the video to YouTube and woke up to messages, tweets and his phone ringing off the hook. Their carpool karaoke had gone viral all the way across the globe.But a record deal, Pride of Britain Awards, over £130,000 raised for The Alzheimer⠙s Society and a Top 10 single later, Simon was still losing Ted. That⠙s when he made a decision. His Dad ⠓ the storyteller of his childhood and his best friend ⠓ couldn⠙t tell his own story, so Simon would tell it for him. This is that story.Full of poignant moments, the ups and downs of family life and treasured memories, The Songaminute Man is a story of two halves: a celebration of the man Ted was, and a powerful and moving account of caring for a loved one.

FEATURING AN INTRODUCTION BY NICK CAVEâ ˜Warren has turned this memento, snatched from his idolâ ™s piano in a moment of rapture, into a genuine religious artefact.â ™NICK CAVE Such a mad, happy book about art and music and obsession. Iâ ™m so glad I got to read it. It made the world feel lighter. NEIL GAIMAN In praise of meaning-rich relics and magical things. Totally heartwarming project. MAX PORTER A unique study of a fanâ ™s devotion, of transcendence and of the artistic vocation â ” itâ ™s got depth and great warmth. Itâ ™s a beautiful piece of work. KEVIN BARRYI hadnâ ™t opened the towel that contained her gum since 2013. The last person to touch it was Nina Simone, her saliva and fingerprints unsullied. The idea that it was still in her towel was something I had drawn strength from. I thought each time I opened it some of Nina Simoneâ ™s spirit would vanish. In many ways that thought was more important than the gum itself.On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave s Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone s piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, a conduit that would eventually take Ellis back to his childhood and his relationship with found objects, growing in significance with every passing year.Nina Simoneâ ™s Gum is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process, friendship, understanding and love. This is such a beautiful f*@king book. Thank you, Warren. I highly recommend this motherf*@ker. FLEA A beautifully written book about the power of music and objects. I powered through it in two days.
