Tanner T: Truth Teller

Truth Teller

How A Real American Family Overcame Adversity With Love, Respect, and Resilience

Compiled by bestselling author susan abulhawa, an Arabic-English bilingual anthology of essays from eighteen young Palestinian writers trying to survive the genocide in Gaza. In early 2024, writer and activist susan abulhawa managed to enter Gaza twice through the Rafah crossing. There, at the Culture and Free Thought Association, susan held a series of workshops for young people who had been displaced to tent encampments. The lives of all participants were marked by unrelenting Israeli violence and extraordinary loss—of home, family, safety, education, electricity, and all the structures of life. They’d fled from place to place as Israel’s colonial violence swirled around them, complete with food and water insecurity and constant threat. Still, despite the bitterness of life in tents and the dangers of travel, they came together to share in the refuge of writing and community. Samya recounts a tender moment with an old man mending shoes in the street, while her cousin Saja hides books in her closet, hoping they and her home will still be there when she returns. Ghassan is haunted by the baby he rescued from the rubble, who for a time became his son. Fatima risks it all retrieve her clothes from a danger zone buzzing with drones and warplanes. Maram’s loving aunt is gone, and chaos inhabits Amr’s mind. Samah, Lubna, Rizq, and Nebal take us by the hand through raining death, trails of tears, classroom shelters, and shared clothes in crowded tents. Every Moment Is a Life delivers rare, unfiltered portraits of life under genocide, platforming the emerging voices struggling to survive in Gaza today. These essays are raw and real, capturing human moments—buying bread, going to the bathroom, sharing a meal, drinking coffee—all set against the backdrop of history’s first livestreamed ethnic cleansing. With courage, anger, love, agony, and—impossibly—hope, these achingly tender voices from Gaza will stay with us, captured in these pages, forever. *All proceeds go to the contributors in Gaza and to Palestine Writes Literature Festival

Gaza in the Time of Genocide

The Home of the Drowned

All the Sinners Bleed meets Erasure in this literary thriller from the award-winning author of The Reformatory following the grandson of a famous Black actress who returns to his grandmother’s cabin retreat in the California mountains only to encounter the legacy of her rage born in Old Hollywood. When Johnny—a filmmaker and grandson of the famous Black actress Mazelle Washington—brings his family to Mazywood, the secluded California mountain lodge left behind by his grandmother, he expects a quiet retreat. Instead, he uncovers a legacy of rage, secrets, and terror that has haunted his family for generations. Set primarily in the present day, with haunting flashbacks to Hollywood’s Golden Age, Mazywood explores three generations while following Johnny as he pieces together the true story of his grandmother. As a young Black actress whose career spanned from the 1920s to the 1940s, Mazelle brushed shoulders with giants like Lena Horne, Clark Gable, and Hattie McDaniel. But beneath her public appearance, she carried a secret she had kept and nurtured since she was a child, when a dark wish came true and changed the course of her life forever. Now, fifty years after Mazelle’s death, Johnny finds himself confronting the truth she buried—and the consequences she left behind. For a monster lurks outside Mazywood, hidden for generations, and Johnny brought his family to its hunting grounds.

Getting Away

A sweeping, multi-generational novel that traces the fractured bonds between three Iraqi-British sisters In the autumn of 2014, as the Islamic State declares the establishment of a Caliphate in Iraq and Syria, three estranged Iraqi-British sisters are drawn back into each other's orbits through the discovery of their late father's lost paintings. As Mediha, Zainab, and Ishtar each lay claim to his legacy-an inheritance laced with exile, betrayal, and a homeland they no longer recognize-Zainab's son Nizar, a traumatized war correspondent, returns to the family fold. Spanning continents and decades, Floodlines charts the emotional and political aftershocks of the US-led invasion of Iraq. Inspired by Haddad's family history and the artistic legacy of his great uncle Jewad Selim-a key protagonist of Iraqi Modernism-Floodlines is a contemporary Iraqi epic, and explores exile, queerness, and the disruptive legacies of (neo)colonialism in haunting, visceral prose.

The new novel from the author of Guapa

Floodlines

Once Upon a Time in Brixton is a raw and unflinching true story of survival, gang culture, violence, and redemption on the streets of South London.
Growing up on the notorious Stockwell Park Estate in Brixton, Paul Smith was drawn into a world where drugs, robberies, gangs, and street warfare became part of everyday life. Raised without a father and surrounded by criminals who became his role models, he quickly rose through the brutal hierarchy of London's underground street culture.
What began as petty crime and childhood rebellion soon spiralled into a dangerous life of drug dealing, violence, paranoia, and destruction. By the age of nineteen, Paul's world collapsed completely, ending in a shocking six-day rampage that left multiple people dead and changed countless lives forever.
Told in Paul Smith's own voice, this powerful memoir takes readers deep inside Britain's hidden gang culture - from Brixton estates and sound-system clashes to prison cells and the notorious walls of Broadmoor Hospital. Honest, disturbing, emotional, and deeply reflective, this is not a glorification of crime, but a rare insight into the realities of street life, mental breakdown, guilt, and the search for redemption.
For readers of Gang Leader for a Day, Monster, A Sense of Freedom, and gritty urban true-crime memoirs, Once Upon a Time in Brixton is a gripping journey into a world few ever truly see - and even fewer survive.

The Many Private Lives of Missy Cooke

“Schlink knows how to tell a gripping yarn . . . [The Granddaughter] is a rewarding and wonderfully readable novel.” —The Guardian“A brilliant dissection of a fragmented nation in which a glimmer of hope relieves a somber but wholly memorable tale.” —Kirkus (starred review)From the bestselling author of The Reader, a striking exploration of the past, told through the story of a German bookseller’s attempt to connect with his radicalized granddaughter.It is only after the sudden death of his wife, Birgit, that Kaspar discovers the price she paid years earlier when she fled East Germany to join him: she had to abandon her baby. Shattered by grief, yet animated by a new hope, Kaspar closes up his bookshop in present day Berlin and sets off to find her lost child in the east.His search leads him to a rural community of neo-Nazis, intent on reclaiming and settling ancestral lands to the East. Among them, Kaspar encounters Svenja, a woman whose eyes, hair, and even voice remind him of Birgit. Beside her is a red-haired, slouching, fifteen-year-old girl. His granddaughter? Their worlds could not be more different— an ideological gulf of mistrust yawns between them— but he is determined to accept her as his own.More than twenty-five years after The Reader, Bernhard Schlink once again offers a masterfully gripping novel that powerfully probes the past’s role in contemporary life, transporting us from the divided Germany of the 1960s to modern day Australia, and asking what unites or separates us.Translated from the German by Charlotte Collins

The Granddaughter

From the Bram Stoker, World Fantasy and Los Angeles Times Book Prize winning author of The Reformatory. A gripping and thrilling supernatural horror and family saga about Mazelle Washington, a child star of 1920s Hollywood, and the legacy of her wishes generations later.

'Even better than I could have imagined . . . [it] takes all the expected stories about growing up Indian American, slices them open with razor-sharp wit, and turns them inside out' CELESTE NG, author of OUR MISSING HEARTS'Nina McConigley is a true original . . . Heart-mending and heart-breaking - as only the truth can be' TAYARI JONES, author of AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE'A fierce and marvelous book with an utterly unique, brightly burning lifeforce' MAGGIE SHIPSTEAD, author of GREAT CIRCLEGeorgie and Agatha Krishna killed their uncle, and they blame the British.Summer, 1986. The tween Creel sisters, Georgie Ayyar and Agatha Krishna, welcome their aunt, uncle and young cousin - newly arrived from India - into their house in rural Wyoming where they'll all live together. Because this is what families do. That is, until the sisters decide that it's time for their uncle to die.According to Georgie, the British are to blame. And to understand why, you need to hear her story. It's one of violence hiding in their house and history, of her once-unshakeable bond with her sister, of being an Indian-American girl in the heart of the West. Her account is cheeky, unflinching and infectiously inflected with the trappings of teendom: pen pal letters, how-to guides, games of MASH and teen-magazine-style quizzes that promise to make sense of their lives. And the tale she weaves is either:a) a vivid portrait of an extended family b) a moving story of sisterhood c) a playful ode to the 80s d) a murder mystery (of sorts) e) a ruthless meditation on history and language, trauma and healing, and the meaning of independenceOr maybe it's really:f) all of the above.'I fell in love with McConigley's fierce, wry narrator Georgie Ayyar from the first page and couldn't stop reading. A powerful, groundbreaking book' JESSAMINE CHAN, author of THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS'Inventive and captivating . . . Full of heart and soul, this is a knockout work that deftly tackles the complex bonds of friendship and family' AIMEE NEZHUKUMATATHIL, author of WORLD OF WONDERS'Spirited and witty, stylish and audacious' MEGHA MAJUMDAR, author of A BURNING

'Heart-mending and heart-breaking' Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage

How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder

13 Days of Silence is the true story of the thirteen days between a mother's last contact with her son and the moment she learned he was the body found in a burned vehicle.What begins with a calm phone call from law enforcement quickly becomes something far more unsettling. Investigators say they are looking for her son about a car and reassure her that he is not in trouble. As the days pass, the questions begin to change. Messages go unanswered. Information comes slowly, in fragments. Then comes a request no parent ever expects. Dental records.For thirteen days, hope and dread live side by side.Told by a mother who spent decades working inside crisis as a paramedic, firefighter, and corrections officer, 13 Days of Silence offers a rare perspective from someone who understood emergencies and investigations long before she was forced to experience them from the other side.What follows is not only grief but a difficult journey through the realities of the criminal justice system. In the courtroom, testimony conflicts, timelines blur, and the narrative presented does not always match what was expected. The legal process moves forward, but many questions remain unanswered, including the most painful one of all. Why.Written with restraint and grounded in lived experience, 13 Days of Silence is not a sensational true crime story. It is a mother's account of waiting, of loss, and of what it feels like when the search for justice does not always bring clarity.The thirteen days ended. The silence did not.
