Will Britain Make it?

The Rise, Fall and Future of British Industry

***Shortlisted for The Goldsmiths Prize 2025*** ***Longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and the Dylan Thomas Prize*** 'It feels essential. You will read nothing else like it this year' GUARDIAN 'Blistering, brilliant, savage and smart' EIMEAR McBRIDE From the winner of the BBC National Short Story Award Ask anyone non-Northern, they'll only know Donny as punch line of a joke or place they changed trains once ont way to London. But Doncaster's also the home of Rach, Shaz and Kel, bezzies since childhood and Donny lasses through and through. They share everything, from blagging their way into nightclubs to trips to the Family Planning clinic when they are late. Never mind that Rach is skeptical of Shaz's bolder plots; or that Shaz, who comes from a rougher end of town, feels left behind when the others begin charting a course to uni; or that Kel sometimes feels split in two trying to keep the peace - their friendship is as indestructible as they are. But as they grow up and away from one another, a long-festering secret threatens to rip the trio apart. We Pretty Pieces of Flesh takes you by the hand and leads you through Doncaster's schoolyards, alleyways and nightclubs, laying bare the intimate treacheries of adolescence and the ways we betray ourselves when we don't trust our friends. Like The Glorious Heresies and Shuggie Bain, it tracks hard-edged lives and makes them sing, turning one overlooked place into the very centre of the world. 'A novel brimming with rough poetry, heart and mischief' FERDIA LENNON 'Unforgettable...a wondrous, luminous novel' NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH 'Brilliant and original on every level... she is a writer like nobody else' ELIZABETH McCRACKEN 'Electrifying... Written in what feels like a new and utterly distinctive female voice, it is very hard to put down' MARK HADDON

We Pretty Pieces of Flesh

Goth can plausibly claim to be the near-definitive word on the subject' - Guardian Goth is an entertaining and evocative personal history of Goth music and culture, told by a true insider. Lol Tolhurst explores the godfathers of goth who established the genre's roots - THE CURE, which he co-founded with Robert Smith, contemporaries SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES, BAUHAUS, JOY DIVISION - plus many more great bands that offered a place of refuge for the misfits of the 80s and ever since. Lol offers a fascinating deep dive into the movers and shakers of goth, imbued with his personal memories as well as those of fellow musicians, magicians and artists who make goth such an inevitable and enduring movement. Along the way he examines acts such as DEPECHE MODE and COCTEAU TWINS who helped the darkness expand. Finally, Tolhurst examines the legacy of goth music, and shows how its influence can still be seen to this day across music, film, TV, visual arts and social media. As thoughtful and thorough as it is utterly bewitching, Goth is a timeless testament to why Goth matters - and why it always will.

Futuromania

THE FASCINATING NEW HISTORY OF THE BRITISH ARISTOCRACY SINCE THE SECOND WORLD WAR 'A superb survey of the aristocracy today and how we got here... A marvellous book' - The Times 'An enthralling chronicle of the British aristocracy' - Financial Times 'A deeply researched and highly entertaining account' - Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey 'This well-written, well-researched and fascinating book could not be better timed.' - Lord (Andrew) Roberts, author of The Chief: The Life of Lord Northcliffe Britain's Greatest Press Baron There are fewer than 5000 people who can genuinely claim to be members of the British aristocracy, and yet they loom large in the popular consciousness. We're fascinated by their houses and estates, their lives and loves, their foibles and eccentricities. And we entertain the strong suspicion that, while they may be fellow citizens, they are very far from being People Like Us. In Heirs and Graces Eleanor Doughty draws on her unparalleled access to a bewildering range of dukes, duchesses, earls and others to create a vivid picture of who they are and how they tick. En route she traces their progress from a post-war era when they and their like were described by one future Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer as 'selfish, depraved, dissolute and decadent' to their diverse current roles as guardians of vast ancestral mansions, farmers, financiers and much else beside. She looks at key rites of passage, from cradle, via boarding school to grave. And she tells stories of their ups and downs, and of the doings of the heroes and villains who fill their ranks. The result is a wonderfully rich, often amusing, always revealing account of the fortunes of the aristocracy over the past century and a series of fascinating glimpses into what it is like to be an aristocrat in Britain today.

THE DAZZLING LOST CLASSIC *A Lit Hub Most Anticipated Book of 2025* *A Cosmopolitan Best Book for April 2025* *A New York Times Book Review Most-Anticipated Book of the Spring* *A Time Best Book of the Month* *A The Week Best Book of 2025* Acquired by Toni Morrison, championed by Gayl Jones, and almost forgotten for forty years, FISH TALES is a fierce, fearless modern classic for our own fragmented times. *** 'Candid, fast and alive' RAVEN LEILANI 'Fast, fearless, so full of life it practically vibrates in your hands' JUSTIN TORRES 'Wondrous and outrageous, real and incandescent and alive' BRYAN WASHINGTON Lewis Jones is a party girl on the edge. Bankrolled by her husband Woody and accompanied by her fellow hedonist Kitty Kat, a hustler who knows all the best spots, Lewis bounces between the demimonde of 70s New York and affluent Black Detroit in a fractured haze of lovers, cocaine parties and champagne baths. But her wild pursuit of freedom is upended when she meets the handsome, erudite, cruel Brook - the only man who won't allow her to take control. A kaleidoscopic swirl of sex and exploitation, selfhood and self-destruction, this lost classic is an unnervingly contemporary depiction of the collision between identity, freedom and female desire - perfect for fans of In the Cut, Oreo, Luster and I'm a Fan. 'Fish Tales will certainly dazzle you, and it might even scandalize you, but it never tells a lie' ANGELA FLOURNOY 'A novel of desire, pleasure, drugs and sex . . . We'll all be better for it having been rediscovered' LITERARY HUB 'Nettie Jones's voice is astonishing. It leaps off the page like a panther . . . Unlike anything I've ever read' New York Times Book Review 'A cult classic . . . [A] sharp, fast-paced look at the highs and lows of the human heart' The Atlantic 'A burst of authentic energy, a rush of life from start to finish' Chicago Review of Books 'An unsparing portrait of sexual hedonism . . . a meditation on female sexuality and the cost of pursuing freedom without self-preservation' TLS

The Dazzling Lost Classic

Fish Tales

A showcase of Britain's most astonishing examples of High-Tech buildings from the late twentieth century and beyond. Like the Lotus Esprit, the Atari home computer and the sounds of the Roland TR-808 drum machine, the glossy colour, clip-on components and bristling silhouettes of High-Tech architecture provide a polaroid snapshot of 1980s modernity. High-Tech was an international style forged in Britain, taking inspiration from Victorian engineering and science fiction alike. Geraint Franklin traces its trajectory from 1960s radicalism to the global mainstream, taking in such late 20th-century landmarks as the Lloyds building, the Sainsbury Centre, the Schlumberger Cambridge Research Centre and the Eden Project in Cornwall.High-Tech Britain&nbsp;revisits the work of the 'big four' practices of Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Michael and Patty Hopkins and Nicolas Grimshaw. From their teams emerged a younger generation of designers including Eva Ji¿i¿ná, Ian Ritchie, Richard Horden and Jan Kaplický who took the language in new directions. Alongside are profiled lesser-known stories such as the Patera kit building quietly rusting in London's Docklands and the workshop at Hooke Park, Dorset, engineered from waste wood. Illustrated with new photography by John East, High-Tech Britain&nbsp;is an authoritative survey of the most groundbreaking examples of this extraordinary moment in British architecture.'An essential guide to the big, shiny style that ruled modern Britain.' - Rowan Moore'How did buildings as bright and light as 8-bit computer games and eighties sports cars come to dominate our urban landscape? Geraint Franklin tells a fast-paced design story beside John East's glorious images, full of fun palaces, floating canopies and facades of gleaming perfection.' - John Grindrod'This is a book that is about more than nostalgia. It reminds us that there was a time when the future of architecture was full of possibilities.' - Deyan Sudjic'Geraint Franklin deftly summarises the architectural and engineering revolution of high-tech,&nbsp;exploring its roots, and setting its British-designed examples in a global context. He explains its 21st century transition into an ecologically aware movement that remains true to its original fascination with unconventional materials and kit-of-parts construction.' - Hugh Pearman'High-Tech is that most British of architectural fetishes, a collision of Victorian engineering and comic strip sci-fi, it was the UK's major contribution to modernism.&nbsp; This survey takes in the whole range of High Tech, from trad to rad, a wonderful homage to a period still surprisingly fragile and endangered.' - Edwin Heathcote

The Dark Hours

'A masterpiece. It pushes the fused power of memoir and story to a new dimension' Ali Smith A heart-rending work of autofiction from one of Norway's most prominent literary writers 'By writing down what happened, by telling the story as truthfully as I can, I'm trying to bring them together into one body - the woman from 2021 and the girl from 1983. I don't know if it can be done' Paris, a winter's night in 1983. She is sixteen years old, lost in unfamiliar streets. On a scrap of paper in her pocket is the address of a photographer, K, thirty years her senior. Almost four decades later, as her life and the world around her begins to unravel, the grown woman seeks to comprehend the young girl of before. Set in Oslo, New York and Paris, Girl, 1983 is a genre-defying and bravura quest through layers of memory and oblivion. As in her landmark previous work, Unquiet, Linn Ullmann continues to probe the elegiac sway of memory as she looks for ways to disclose a long-guarded secret. A delineation of time and place over the course of a life, this remarkable novel insistently crisscrosses the path of a wayward sixteen-year-old girl lost in Paris. Girl, 1983 is a raw and haunting exposure of beauty and forgetting, desire and shame, power and powerlessness. 'Ullmann's gaze on the power and pain of a teenage girl as remembered and restaged by her adult self is unflinching and startling' Deborah Levy

Girl, 1983
