Paperback. Condizione: New. A stunning Australian love story for readers of Brokeback Mountain.It's the 1950s in conservative Australia, and Christopher, a young gay man, moves to 'the City' to escape the repressive atmosphere of his tiny hometown. Once there, however, he finds that it is just as censorial and punitive in its ow…n way.Then Christopher meets Morgan, and the two fall in love - a love that breathes truth back into Christopher's stifled life. But the society around them remains rigid and unchanging, and what begins as a refuge for both men inevitably buckles under the intensity of navigating a world that wants them to refuse what they are. Will their devotion be enough to keep them together?Marlo takes us into the landscape of a relationship defined as much by what is said and shared as by what has to remain unsaid.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Police officers are obliged to give an account of every incident they are involved in. But what happened today will never be logged. Because that's what police solidarity means: what happens in the van stays in the van.Well, not always. Not this time.What really happens behind the walls of a police st…ation? To answer this question, investigative journalist Valentin Gendrot put his life on hold for two years and became the first journalist in history to infiltrate the police undetected.Within three months of training to become an officer, he was given a permit to carry a weapon in public. And although he lived in daily fear of being discovered, in his book Gendrot hides nothing.Assigned to work in a tough area of Paris where tensions between the law and locals ran high, Gendrot witnessed police brutality, racism, blunders, and cover-ups. But he also saw the oppressive working conditions that officers endured, and mourned the tragic suicide of a colleague.Asking important questions about who holds institutional power and how we can hold them to account, Cop is a gripping exposé of a world never before seen by outsiders.

Paperback. Condizione: New. A GUARDIAN, NEW STATESMAN, SPECTATOR, AND IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR A new, feminist translation of Beowulf by the author of the acclaimed novel The Mere Wife.Nearly twenty years after Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf - and fifty years after the translation that continues to torment students a…round the world - there is a radical new verse interpretation of the epic poem by Maria Dahvana Headley, which brings to light elements never before translated into English.A man seeks to prove himself as a hero. A monster seeks silence in his territory. A warrior seeks to avenge her murdered son. A dragon ends it all. These familiar components of the epic poem are seen with a novelist's eye towards gender, genre, and history. Beowulf has always been a tale of entitlement and encroachment - of powerful men seeking to become more powerful and one woman seeking justice for her child - but this version brings new context to an old story. While crafting her contemporary adaptation, Headley unearthed significant shifts lost over centuries of translation.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The first major anthology by parents with disabilities.'Being a disabled parent is a rebellious act. Disabled people should have the same right to parent as anyone else, but often when we decide to start a family we are met with judgement and discrimination. We are questioned rather than supported. We… have to push up against the medical system. And we have to confront society's model of parenting. Yet, despite all this, we still choose to parent. And we are damn good at it too!'When writer and musician Eliza Hull was pregnant with her first child, like most like most parents-to-be she felt a mix of nerves and excitement. But as a disabled person, she faced added complexities. She wondered: Will the pregnancy be too hard? Will people judge me? Will I cope with the demands of parenting?In We've Got This, thirty parents who identify as Deaf, disabled, neurodivergent, or chronically ill discuss the highs and lows of their parenting journeys and show that the greatest obstacles lie in other people's attitudes. The result is a moving, revelatory, and empowering anthology that celebrates the richness of disabled parenting in the twenty-first century.'Such an important book. Joyous, eye-opening, and deeply moving, these powerful stories will challenge long-held assumptions and hopefully shift societal attitudes towards disabled parents. Everyone should read this.'Francesca Martinez, author of What the **** Is Normal?.

Paperback. Condizione: New. A COSMOPOLITAN BEST NON-FICTION BOOK OF 2022The Lonely Hunter explores the rise of singledom, the realities of loneliness, and whether it is possible to live contentedly alone.'So what's going on in your love life?' This seemingly innocent question at a dinner party prompted Aimée Lutkin to finally te…ll the truth: it had been six years since her last relationship, and she was starting to suspect that it would be better to accept the life she had as a single woman - a life she liked very much - rather than keep searching for a partner. But Lutkin's answer was met with uproar; surely she couldn't give up on love? So she threw herself into dating, going on two dates every week over a number of months.Documenting her experiences, Lutkin explores the reality of sexual relationships today and reveals how the cultural messages we receive shape our expectations of love. From weird Tinder hookups to the way the self care industry capitalises on our fear of being alone, and from the complexities of queer dating to the truth about the 'loneliness epidemic', she uses her experiences to fearlessly tell a wider story about how we love now.

Hardback. Condizione: New. A beautiful celebratory tribute to the powers of one of our most undervalued skills - an ideal gift for the avid reader.'What you are doing right now is, cosmically speaking, against the odds.'As young children, we are taught to read, but soon go on to forget just how miraculous a process it is, this t…urning of scratches and dots into understanding, unease and inspiration. Perhaps we need to stop and remember, stop and learn again how to read better.Damon Young shows us how to do exactly this, walking alongside some of the greatest readers who light a path for us - Borges, Plato, Woolf. Young reads passionately, selectively, surprisingly - from superhero noir to speculative realism, from Heidegger to Heinlein - and shows his reader how cultivating their inner critic can expand their own lives as well as the lives of those on the pages of the books they love.

Hardback. Condizione: New. 'How better to honour the women who have fought for abortion rights, those who are still fighting around the world, those who have suffered from its illegality, those who still suffer from its limitations, than to continue to talk about it?'In this timely essay, Pauline Harmange provides an intimate, d…etailed account of her abortion. Reminiscent of Annie Ernaux's Happening, Abortion is nuanced, complex, honest, and precise. Harmange gives voice to the emotions, reflections, and contradictions that someone could experience when they choose to terminate a pregnancy.At a time in which women's reproductive rights are being called into question around the world, Abortion is a clarion call, a powerful personal testimony, and a resolutely political vision: to restore power to our experiences, all our experiences, by sharing them, and to transform society for the better.

Paperback. Condizione: New. From the International Booker Prize-shortlisted author of What I'd Rather Not Think About comes a darkly humorous novel about multigenerational family dynamics and individuality in Dutch suburbia.An unnamed narrator grows up overshadowed by her unconventional mother, an ex-Jehovah's Witness and former… television star with an inferiority complex. Her father is the head of a psychiatric institution, whose only form of parenting is to offer his daughter the same life advice he dispenses to his patients. Reserved and somewhat aloof, he chooses not to intervene when his wife obsesses about charisma, calorie counting, and turning their daughter into a child prodigy.Their daughter strives to meet her mother's expectations and bond with her father while secretly worrying she lacks the drive or charisma to do anything significant with her life. When her mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer, she begins to address their generational trauma, forge a new relationship with her father, and discover life on her terms. In twelve chapters - each reflecting a different phase of life - Posthuma expertly dissects a fraught family history, exposing the absurdity that often lies at the heart of life's most poignant and challenging moments.

Paperback. Condizione: New. A darkly comic and compelling satire of the art world from the author of The Disaster Tourist.An Yiji's career had been stalling for some time when a representative of the illustrious Robert Foundation offers her a spot on their all-expenses-paid artist residency in California. The residency has launc…hed many famous artists' careers, so she knows she can't waste this opportunity. Still, she feels reluctant to accept, and with good reason: the foundation's patron is a small dog named Robert, known for both his talent as a photographer, but also his arrogance. Moreover, the offer comes with a condition: on the last day of the residency, one of An's paintings must be incinerated, and Robert gets to select which one.When An reaches California, she finds the state ablaze with wildfires, but at the Foundation all is calm. She navigates awkward dinners with Robert, tries to find inspiration while being bombarded with sponsors who all want their business to be the subject of her art, and despairs at the prospect of her work being set on fire. Was coming to California a huge mistake.
