A Memoir

Remember the Times

A manifesto in lectures about the material conditions and absurdities of being a writer and adjunct professor under capitalism-by turns funny, angry, despairing, and hopeful-from a writer who "has invented a new form" (Annie Ernaux). 
 
 In the spring of 2025, Heroines and Drifts author Kate Zambreno taught a weeklong nonfiction "craft" lecture at Columbia University, thinking through the crises of the adjunct loop in the United States and the question of labor and writing in publishing and the university. This project became more absurd, and more urgent, as the Trump administration quickly turned to authoritarianism and the university became complicit with the administration, creating a dystopian and paranoid atmosphere in which students were kidnapped from university housing and student protestors were expelled. How can we study together and create under such conditions? 
 
 The resulting essays are funny, angry, often in despair, and somehow also full of optimism as to the future of writing, even amidst the collapse of the institutions meant to support writers and students. Zambreno engages with texts including Sofia Samatar's Opacities, Fred Moten and Stefano Harney's The Undercommons, Noémi Lefebvre's The Poetics of Work, Heike Geissler's Seasonal Associate, and Samuel Delaney's Times Square Red, Times Square Blue. 
 
 A craft book against a "craft" divorced from political and material realities, Against Nonfiction is for anyone trying to write and make art in impossible times.

Brief an mein Kind

Behind the scenes of a globe-spanning career in freelance journalism A Crooked Line celebrates an age when print journalism changed lives and made the world a better place. That era may be winding down, but this perceptive book makes the case for why incisive writing will always matter. Over the course of his 40-year career, Michael Shapiro has reported from more than 20 countries, writing for National Geographic, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and many other top publications. But the itinerant writer’s life, while rewarding, has never been easy.&nbsp; &nbsp; Shapiro worked as an investigative reporter and staff writer for San Francisco Bay Area newspapers before letting go of a regular paycheck and setting out to share stories of people and places worldwide. The exhilarations of the open road, “afoot and light-hearted” as Whitman wrote, were tempered by the challenges of freelancing, from making a living to working with heavy-handed editors. &nbsp; His stories put people first: For a feature about Puerto Rico’s recovery after Hurricane Maria, he visited farmers who spoke of shifting from exporting produce to growing food for local people. His profile of a Yosemite photographer, who climbed Half Dome after being diagnosed with cancer, brought the man’s big-hearted humanity to the fore.&nbsp;Shapiro is known as a travel writer, but his work goes far beyond global dispatches. In this book he shares stories of: <ul><li>saving Sunset magazine’s priceless archive of Western life (including photos made by Ansel Adams) after Time Inc. told staffers to toss everything into a dumpster</li><li>an investigation into the U.S. government’s attempt to conceal the circumstances of pro football star and soldier Pat Tillman’s death during the war in Afghanistan</li><li>writing a tribute about environmental hero Jane Goodall just hours after she died</li><li>how the Grateful Dead’s ecstatic songs celebrate the wonders of nature.</li></ul>Several chapters cover themes familiar to journalists and others who work for themselves. Among them: collaboration, independence, rejection and compensation. A glossary defines insider journalism terms such as hed, dek, slug, lede, nut graf, and kill fee.&nbsp; &nbsp; Renowned for his books of conversations with writers and artists, A Sense of Place and The Creative Spark, Shapiro has interviewed David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Smokey Robinson, Joan Rivers, Frances Mayes and Peter Matthiessen. In this volume, he tells the story of how he convinced a reluctant Paul Theroux to agree to an interview and shares an in-depth dialogue with poet and philosopher David Whyte. Getting an interview and executing it well is the work of a diplomat, and there aren't many people who can do it. Shapiro is a pro at it—which this book shows. A Crooked Line&nbsp;highlights Shapiro’s best journalism and includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how he pitched stories and got assignments worldwide. Postscripts detail what happened afterward; some include letters from people he wrote about, sharing what his coverage meant to them.&nbsp; After his story about Welsh bard Dylan Thomas was published in The Washington Post, Shapiro received a handwritten letter from a former customs official who said he had admitted Thomas into the United States on the fateful 1953 trip from which the poet would never return. Months after the Yosemite photographer succumbed to cancer, his widow wrote a heartfelt email to Shapiro telling him that his writing made her feel she was “spending time with Kirk again.” &nbsp; Due to the dramatic changes in the journalistic landscape, a career like Shapiro’s couldn’t begin today. Yet the skills he honed as a journalist—empathetic listening, concise and evocative writing, and a keen sense of what matters—remain as relevant as ever. The tales and insights in A Crooked Line provide a timely affirmation of journalism’s enduring power to illuminate the human experience. This penetrating book reminds us that whatever life path we choose, it’s vital to make it our own.

The Perils and Rewards of a Life in Freelance Journalism

A Crooked Line

As a member of Big in Japan, The Slits and, most famously, Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Creatures, 'Budgie' was an era-defining drummer in the much-mythologised post punk scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. But before he was Budgie, Peter Clarke was a boy growing up in working class St Helens in the 1960s. The loss of his mum at a young age created the absence that haunts the pages of this book. As a teenager disenchanted with art school in Liverpool, Peter became Budgie and befriended the likes of Jayne Casey, Pete Burns and other luminaries of the legendary Eric's Club before taking off for London and the big city heat of punk. Budgie's unique technique and musical sensitivity endeared him to the all-female group The Slits, who asked him to play on their debut album&nbsp;Cut. Subsequent touring with former members of the Sex Pistols and others from the post punk aristocracy firmly established Budgie's reputation for innovation. But the beating heart of this at times painfully honest account of a life often sabotaged is, of course, his long-term position as Siouxsie and the Banshees' drummer and co-writer alongside his ex-wife Siouxsie Sioux. Their creative partnership produced some of the most seductive and celebrated pop music of the decade. Eventually, their personal relationship started to fall apart, with inevitable consequences for both bands.&nbsp;The Absence&nbsp;is bravely unflinching in its dissection of how and why this happened, and powerfully moving in its account of the angels that emerged to heal both these wounds and those of a mother's lost love. A man and musician whose creativity and singular style came to define the goth-pop 1980s, Budgie's life is both fabulously glamorous and a cautionary tale. For the first time the story of the era's most exalted and mysterious bands has been told by one who survived inside the belly of the beast.

Memoir has the power to change not just a writer’s life, but the world we all share. Too often dismissed as self-indulgent or merely therapeutic, memoir is in fact one of the most radical literary forms of our time—an act of truth-telling that dismantles cultural myths and creates new ways of seeing. In Truth Be Told, acclaimed memoirist and psychologist Kerry Cohen, author of the beloved bestseller Loose Girl, shows readers how personal storytelling can subvert dominant narratives, generate empathy, and reveal the deeper truths that connect us all. Blending literary guidance with psychological insight, Cohen explores the art and intention behind today’s most powerful memoirs—those that move beyond confession to create meaning. With warmth, humor, and deep respect for the craft, she offers writers a clear methodology, illuminating examples, and structured exercises to help them find their story, shape it authentically, and write it in a way that truly matters. Whether you’re a first-time writer or a practiced storyteller, Truth Be Told will teach you not only how to write a memoir worth reading—but how to uncover the deeper truths of being hum

****THE MEMOIR WHICH KICKSTARTED ANDREW MOUNTBATTEN'S FALL FROM GRACE**** 'If books can shape history, this is one.' DAILY MAIL #1 SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The book that's changing the world. The UK's bestselling memoir. An empowering true story of surviving abuse and fighting for justice. The world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. This is her story. In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody's Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity. Here, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell's grasp at nineteen. Giuffre remade her life from scratch and summoned the courage to waive anonymity and not only hold her abusers to account but also advocate for other victims. The pages of Nobody's Girl preserve her voice-and her legacy-forever. Nobody's Girl is an astonishing affirmation of Giuffre's unshakable will-first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to shine light on wrongdoing and fight for a safer, fairer world. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair. 'Make no mistake: this is a book about power, corruption, industrial-scale sex abuse and the way in which institutions sided with the perpetrator over his victims. . . . But it is also a book about how a young woman becomes a hero. . . . Important [and] courageous.' GUARDIAN ** WINNER OF THE OVERALL BOOK OF THE YEAR, BEST NARRATIVE NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AND FREEDOM TO PUBLISH AWARD AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2026 ** ** WINNER OF THE CAPITAL CRIME FINGERPRINT TRUE CRIME AWARD 2026** 'Both devastating and uplifting ... fearless and frank - angry and empowering. It speaks to the thousands of other victims out there about how to start fighting back.' EMILY MAITLIS · 'Takes us into unimaginable realms of human suffering ...devastating.' THE TIMES · 'This astonishing book left me reaching for breath.' JULIET NICOLSON · Startling ... demands that we read with caution, discretion and sensitivity.' INDEPENDENT · 'The most important (but, honestly, the most traumatic) book I've read all year. As painful as this book is to read, please, please do.' SAM BAKER, THE SHIFT · It is a personal triumph that [Virginia Roberts Giuffre] chose to speak up and a tragedy that doing so came at such cost. OBSERVER · 'Nobody's Girl is not just a memoir - it's a template for how difficult it is for victims who have been abused once to escape the cycle.' NEW STATESMAN
