Hai X: Adrift in the South

Adrift in the South

Channeling the subversive and sharp-eyed voice showcased in her popular column for The Cut, Amil Niazi stylishly interrogates the aspirations of young adulthood, early middle age, motherhood, and life after ambition. Building off her wildly popular viral essays “Losing My Ambition” and “The Mindfuck of Mid-Life,” Amil Niazi explores what life looks like “post-ambition.” With sly humor and a deep literary sensibility, she interrogates her own evolving ambitions, and how it intersects with adulthood, motherhood, age, identity, class, and race, and how it has shaped her and a generation of Millennials. And—most importantly—now that she is done with ambition: what happens next? An achingly relatable, intensely funny punch to the gut which reveals that, though we hide them from one another, we all have the same painful bruises. At its core, Losing My Ambition is about optimism—about the joy of choosing something different and the thrill of finding ourselves when we thought all was lost. A whip-smart reimagination of how to live our lives, Losing My Ambition reclaims mediocrity to tell us that it is okay to NOT have ambitions but to try and live a life that is true to who we are.

A Good Enough Memoir

Life After Ambition

'Captures that era of Hong Kong music with such warmth and clarity... Transcendent and transportive' Angela Hui 'A wondrous thing: fresh, evocative, self-aware, fantastically light of touch and wholly original' Sarah Howe A story of music, fandom and identity, from the acclaimed singer-songwriter Emma-Lee Moss (a.k.a. Emmy the Great) For 11-year-old Emma-Lee, the sound of Hong Kong in the summer of 1995 is Cantopop. The Cantopop stars she idolises are everywhere - their images are on every billboard and their music spills from shop speakers onto the streets. When she and her family move to England later that year, Emma-Lee's love of Cantopop will be pushed underground - the sound and symbol of her secret childhood identity. My Cantopop Nights is the story of how Emma-Lee found herself in a Hong Kong bar twenty years later, listening to a Cantopop song and realising that this music was her inheritance. It's about suffering an identity crisis just as the city's post-colonial tensions erupt into protests. It's a story of uncanny coincidences, magical thinking and a quest to reconcile the different sides of her heritage: Hong Konger and British, Cantopop and indie. It's a story of falling in love with a city, its people and its music, while trying to find your own place to belong. 'An author of exceptional vision... for anyone seeking to understand how complicated, tender histories unfurl in our present - and how art emerges to help us through' Jessica J. Lee 'Prepare to meet your new favourite playlist' Dan Schreiber

A Memoir in Songs

My Cantopop Nights

THE MUST-READ MEMOIR BEHIND THE MAJOR BAFTA AWARD-WINNING FILM, I SWEAR, STARRING ROBERT ARAMAYO.From the remarkable Scottish campaigner, this is the powerful and moving autobiography offering extraordinary insight into what it is like to live with a severe form of Tourette's Syndrome. 'Funny and heartfelt ... this skilfully told tale deserves praise for how it lets us non-sweary people see inside the ordinary, albeit anxious, mind of someone with Tourette syndrome.' THE TIMES Born in the 1970s on the Scottish Borders, John's was ten when his tics first arrived, as if from nowhere. Previously a happy, popular, football-mad boy he was labelled disruptive, rude, and even mad. As his condition progressed, from blinks and jerks to involuntary rude and obscene shouting, John was bullied, rejected - alienated from his family and a society that had no idea what to make of him. Hospitalized and drugged for months, it was only an extraordinary and transformative friendship, and John's dogged optimism, that turned his life around, making I Swear an inspirational story of triumph over adversity. Through John's eyes, we see Tourette's not just as a medical condition, but as a lens through which we can all better understand the importance of human connection. And how essential, as well as ultimately rewarding, it can be to keep going and never give up. 'An astonishing tale about an amazing man.' - JOJO MOYES, author of Me Before You and Someone Else's Shoes 'This superb book is an engaging and fascinating account of what it's like to live with Tourette's.' DAILY MAIL 'Brave, shocking, funny and moving ... This is a really important book.' RACHEL JOYCE, bestselling author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Homemade God

My Life with Tourette’s

I Swear

'Tender, transporting, creative and beautifully written ... Simply glorious, from start to finish' Rachel Clarke, author of Dear Life Simultaneously heart-breaking and darkly hilarious, Leaving Home is a portrait of the artist both as a child and as an adult. Mark Haddon's parents were not really cut out for the job of having children. They were cut out, respectively, for the jobs of designing abattoirs and keeping a pathologically clean and tidy house. At least Mark had the consolations of The Weetabix Solar System Wallchart, walnut whips and the occasional Babycham. Astringently honest and scalpel sharp, this is a book about being different and seeing the world differently. It's about being a cartoonist and a care assistant. It's about family. It's about how art, in all its varied forms, provides a way of understanding and coming to terms with the mess of human life. And it's richly illustrated throughout with images from the author's childhood. As bracing as it is embracing, Leaving Home is about escaping a place that never felt like home and learning to create somewhere that does. 'I loved this funny, melancholy and arrestingly original memoir of an artist's coming into being' Sarah Perry, author of Enlightenment

A Memoir in Full Colour

Leaving Home

*Shortlisted for Footnote x Counterpoints Writing Prize* A moving and personal memoir telling the story of a family grappling with trauma and identity in the wake of the Holocaust. A finely honed journey across time and place, affecting and powerful, and deeply relevant for our times.' - Philippe Sands 'Simon Weisz's evocation of heartless mid-twentieth-century Europe, as public and private worlds so devastatingly collide, is compelling; his account of the jarring miscomprehensions between himself and his parents, as the evasions and false comforts mount up, is poignantly tragi-comic; and his staunchly unsentimental portrait of his glamorous mother - victim, monster, human - is masterly and deeply moving.' - David Kynaston 'A beautifully written memoir full of startling vignettes... a vivid portrait of Holocaust survival, rich with postwar period detail. A compelling story' - Jewish Chronicle 'Striking... a subtle, loving and poignant portrait.'- Matthew Reisz, Times Literary Supplement ********************* For the first eighteen years of Simon Weisz's life his parents were at pains to keep their past concealed from him. All he knew for sure was that they had grown up in Hungary and that they had arrived in Britain after the Second World War. It was only as he reached manhood that they started to confide their carefully guarded secrets to him: that they were Jewish, and that his mother had experienced the appalling horrors of Nazi persecution.In conversations over the following decades, Simon's mother gradually, often reluctantly, revealed more of her past: from the growing oppression her family had had to endure in the late 1930s, to her deportation first to Auschwitz and then to Ravensbrück, to the brutal death march she withstood from the ruins of Berlin in 1945. As he pieced her testimony together, Simon came to realise how the memories she had fought so hard to suppress continued to haunt her in the form of terrifying flashbacks and moments of extreme frustration and anger. And he started to understand how her concealed trauma had, in turn, shaped his own development and the course of his life. Himmler's Curtains is both a visceral account of a Holocaust survivor's experiences, and an impressive study of the impact of suffering on two generations of a family. It also movingly reveals the high psychological price exacted by silence.

A Memoir of Loss and Concealment

Himmler’s Curtains

The bold, inspiring, and empowering new book on the possibility of modern womanhood - helping you to ditch the labels, find your voice, and reclaim your confidence. 'Ashley is a much-needed force.' Jameela Jamil 'The book I've been waiting for my whole life.' Bryony Gordon 'A smart, brave and unapologetic reclaiming of female power.' Katie Piper OBE ------- Bossy. Frigid. Spinster. Sl*t. Mumsy. Milf. Bimbo. The English language has a seemingly infinite number of judgemental and hypocritical words to describe women and their life choices. We can't win, no matter what we do. In BIMBO, Ashley James unpacks the labels that box women in, and the systems that keep them there. A fierce advocate for women's rights, whether on ITV's This Morning or online, Ashley draws on raw personal stories, cultural analysis, and sharp humour to unpack the systems that profit from women's insecurity. From 'bossy' little girls, 'tarty' teens, to mothers who 'let themselves go', and 'left-on-the-shelf' single women, Ashley asks a radical question: What if we stopped trying to be acceptable, and started being free? Bold, honest, and deeply validating, this book is a rallying cry for every woman who's ever felt too much - or not enough. This is a call to women to stop shrinking, stop competing, and start rising - together. A book to be shared, discussed, and cherished, BIMBO is the powerful and empowering must-read and a beacon of hope for a better future. Praise for BIMBO: 'Raw and gloriously unapologetic ... a rallying cry for every woman' Carol Vorderman, award-winning broadcaster and writer 'Pulls apart the issues facing the modern woman and puts them back together again with brilliantly considered thought and context. Ignore this Bimbo at your peril.' Ellie Taylor, comedian and writer 'Honest, brave and fiercely validating' Alex Light, bestselling author of You Are Not a Before Picture 'Essential reading for every woman' Em Clarkson, activist, presenter, and author 'Whip smart' Red Magazine

*Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize* 'A fascinating exploration of the linkages between ancestral inheritance, diasporic belonging, and our climate future... I read it in one sitting, which took me on a moving and often unexpected journey' Aube Rey Lescure 'Part of me knew what the hungry ghosts wanted all along, what they still want. It is not vengeance. No, they want something else, but we refuse to listen. They want us to face up to our broken obligations.' Every spring during the Qingming Festival, people return to their home villages in China to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, making offerings of food and incense to prevent them from becoming hungry ghosts that could cause misfortune. Yet for the past century, a time ruptured by war and revolution, many tombs have been left unattended. Following a record year of wildfires, Alice Mah returns to her family's rice village in South China, and discovers that her ancestors are almost forgotten, and there are no tombs left to sweep. Instead, there are incalculable clan debts to be paid. Here Mah chronicles her journey from the rice villages of South China to her home in post-industrial England, through the Chinatowns of Western Canada where she grew up, to the isles and industry of Scotland where she now lives. As years pass and fires rage on, she becomes increasingly troubled by her ancestors' neglected graves. Her research on pollution gives way to growing eco-anxiety, culminating in a crisis of spiritual belief. A haunting blend of memoir, cultural history and environmental exploration, Red Pockets confronts the hungry ghosts of our neglected ancestors, while searching for an acceptable offering. What do we owe to past and future generations? What do we owe to the places that we inhabit?

An Offering

Red Pockets

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this explosive, wildly entertaining memoir, Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt charts his rise and fall as America’s most notorious reality TV villain on The Hills—and how, from the ashes of the Pacific Palisades fires, he’s finally ready for his redemption arc. Spencer Pratt wasn’t born into Hollywood royalty—he charmed his way in, driven by an unshakeable need to become somebody. By twenty-one, he had created his own reality show, making him the youngest executive producer in network television history. When that venture imploded, he didn’t give up; instead, he infiltrated MTV’s The Hills, weaponizing Simon Cowell-style villainy to become Y2K’s most hated reality TV antagonist. From on-screen fights to off-camera manipulation, Spencer transformed toxicity into ratings gold—and, with future wife Heidi Montag, built “Speidi,” a two-headed tabloid machine worth $2 million a year. But behind the scenes, Spencer was spiraling. He begged for a redemption arc, only to learn villains don’t get to yell “cut.” As his mental health unraveled, calculated chaos gave way to full-blown instability—hoarding weapons, blowing a fortune on crystals, and pushing everyone away. Broke, blacklisted, and exiled from Hollywood, he lost his grip on reality, trapped in the fake world he’d built until he had almost nothing left. All that remained was Heidi, the one person who never stopped believing in him. Together, Heidi and Spencer embarked on an unlikely comeback: rebuilding their lives through hummingbird mysticism, family, and lovable eccentricity across social media platforms. When the 2025 Palisades wildfires destroyed their home and everything inside, something miraculous happened—the TikTok community rallied around them with breathtaking speed, transforming them from antiheroes into beloved survivors almost overnight. Spencer Pratt was reborn not as a manufactured persona, but as exactly who he was: unedited, unfiltered, and real. Now, for the first time, Spencer reveals the untold truth behind the spectacle—a darkly comedic, unflinching, and often surreal confessional from a TV villain who’s finally broken character for good.

INTRODUCED BY MARK BOSTRIDGE What you have striven for will not end in nothing, all that you have done and been will not be wasted, for it will be a part of me as long as I live, and I shall remember, always. In 1914 Vera Brittain was twenty, and as war was declared she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life - and the lives of a whole generation - had been unimaginably changed. One of the most famous autobiographies of the First World War, this is her account of how she survived the period; how she lost the man she loved; how she nursed the wounded; and how she emerged into an altered world to become one of the best-loved writers of her time. 'One of the most powerful and widely read war memoirs of all time' GUARDIAN 'Vera Brittain's heart-rending account of the way her generation's lives changed is still as shocking and moving as ever' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Should be compulsory reading' DAILY MAIL

'Extraordinary' ANNE APPLEBAUM 'Thrilling . . . a record of an infatuation' TELEGRAPH 'The book of a lifetime' ELIF SHAFAK 'The North Pole proves to be the perfect subject for him' MICHAEL PALIN 'Heart-catching . . . fabulous' OBSERVER 'A beautiful book' ALAIN DE BOTTON The epic adventure story of the North Pole - its transcendent beauty and dangerous appeal - from Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge who travelled there in 1990 Throughout recorded human time, few places on Earth have inspired as much fascination as the North Pole. This is an otherworldly place where the sun rises and stays aloft for six whole months before setting, plunging the expanse of ice and water into darkness for half a year. Foot-stepping alongside Erling Kagge, who ventured to the North Pole in the spring of 1990, we hear the story of the North Pole as never told before. From Herodotus who first wondered what the northernmost point of our planet might be like, to the intrepid early cartographers who mapped the world, and the legendary expeditions led by Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary - the first polar explorer global celebrities - who were in the grip of a dangerous obsession to get to the North Pole first. What emerges is a new history of the world, spanning thousands of years, as seen from the 'silver-shining vacantness' of the North Pole. Blending memories from Kagge's own 1990 trip with this epic history, The North Pole is an adventure story, a book about enacting hidden human dreams, about difficult fathers and their difficult sons, and a psychological record of what it means to keep putting one foot in front of the other in the face of adversity. It is for anyone who's gazed out at the horizon - and wondered what happens if you just keep walking. 'As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted' RANULPH FIENNES

The History of an Obsession

The North Pole

So much more than a memoir, this a spirited canter through Prue's musings on the triumphs, trials and tribulations of ageing well. Including health, beauty, fashion, business, work, widowhood and finding love again, decorating, downsizing, and assisted dying. From Bake Off presenter, Prue Leith, comes a&nbsp;truthful, inspiring and funny short book - part memoir and part reflection, on time running out and accepting the inevitable end while still having fun and being visible. Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, and always entertaining, with themes reflective of her one woman show - geriatric love, the catwalk appearances, being Pegasus on the Masked Singer, her new ITV show My Cotswold Kitchen, and a focus on the trials and taboos of age: why are we embarrassed by oldies kissing; what is acceptable behavior when you're old?, to work or to retire, staying healthy and active, her passionate belief in Assisted Dying, and dealing with grief.

Being Old...and learning to love it!
