Table of listing : • by Julie Orringer This debut collection dives into the private world of adolescence, immersing the reader in its fears and longings. Read a review publisher Penguin by ZZ Packer The characters in this short-story collection from an acclaimed new voice in American fiction are all too human in their struggle to find a place in the world. They include a group of vengeful Brownies; evangelical Sister Clarice; Spurgeon Bivens, who has just bailed his father out of jail; and Dina, a college student who undergoes an emotional awakening. publisher Canongate by Will Self Among the curious and disturbing subjects Self�s d�but deals with are the Ur-Bororo, a superhumanly dull tribe of Amazonian bores; the terrible, seductive secret of Ward 9; and the revolutionary possibilities of waiting. His other collections, Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys and Dr Mukti and Other Tales of Woe, are also published by Penguin. publisher Penguin by Isabel Allende Allende's trademark magic realism imbues this evocative collection. publisher Penguin by Alasdair Gray Gray's tal • John Boyega astonishes in Steve McQueen’s exploration of systemic racism in London’s Met police force. Steve McQueen’s Red, White and Blue, which is part of his Small Axe anthology series, confirms its brilliance at the very moment it cuts to black and its first end credit appears. That’s not to say the drama which precedes this shock curtain-drop fails to make a robust case for that already. It’s more that when the director and co-writer (along with Courttia Newland) chooses to drop a hard punctuation point, it suddenly augments and complicates the story’s themes without overstating them, or parlaying them into a conventional climax that delivers a prosaic answer or statement. What remains unspoken, unresolved and unknown from the moment we abruptly depart from the lives on-screen is what imbues this film with its richness, and a sense of melancholy that, we understand, is gradually being subsumed by rage. If you’re Black and growing up in London during the 1960s, you live with the generational truism that the Metropolitan Police is a racist institution. A young Black boy named Leroy Logan, a picture of scholarly innocence, is accosted on the street by a pair of overzealous white beat bobbies. His father, Kenneth (Steve Toussaint)
