O'Hagan Andrew: On Friendship

On Friendship

The award-winning foreign correspondent takes off the rose-tinted spectacles and reveals what Britain really looks like from abroad.

The award-winning foreign correspondent takes off the rose-tinted spectacles and reveals what Britain really looks like from abroad.

What Everyone Knows About Britain* (*Except The British)

In her first book, the popular From the Front Porch podcast host and independent bookstore owner challenges the idea that loud lives are the ones that matter most, reminding us that we don't have to leave the lives we have in order to have the lives of which we've always dreamed. Can life be an adventure, even when it’s just . . . ordinary?Annie Jones always assumed adulthood would mean adventure: a high-powered career; life in a big, bustling city; and travels to far-flung places she’d longed to see. But her reality turned out differently. As the years passed, Annie was still in the same small town running an independent bookstore —the kind of life Nora Ephron dreamed.During that time, she hosted friends’ goodbye parties and mailed parting gifts; wrote recommendation letters and wished former shop staffers well. She stayed in her small town, despite her love of big cities; stayed in her marriage to the guy she met when she was 18; and she stayed at her bookstore while the world outside shifted steadily toward digital retailers. And she stayed loyal to a faith she sometimes didn’t recognize.After ten years, Annie realized she might never leave. But instead of regret, she had an epiphany. She awakened to the gifts of a quiet life spent staying put.In Ordinary Time, Annie challenges the idea that loud lives matter most. Rummaging through her small-town existence, she finds hidden gifts of humor and hope from a life lived quietly. Staying, can itself be a radical act. It takes courage to stay in the places we’ve always called home, Jones argues, as she paints a portrait of possibility far away from thriving metropolises and Monica Gellar-inspired apartments.We’ve long been encouraged to follow our dreams, to pack up and move to new places and leave old lives—and past selves—behind. While there is beauty in these kinds of adventures, Ordinary Time helps us see ourselves right where we are: in the middle of messy, mundane lives, maybe not too far from where we grew up. We don’t have to leave to find what we yearn—we can choose to stay, celebrating and honoring our ordinary lives, which might turn out to be bigger and better than we ever imagined.&nbsp;

Lessons Learned While Staying Put

Ordinary Time

The great subject of love - finding it, keeping it, losing it - has fascinated and consumed us since the beginning of time. By focusing on the most perceptive and influential thinkers, philosophers and writers from the ancients to the early 20th century, this fascinating little book tackles a subject that has preoccupied, delighted and confused us for centuries. There is Shelley on the all encompassing presence of love, Stendhal's famous dissection of love, poetry from Sappho and much more. Combining self help, erudition and dazzling wisdom, here's a book to treasure and to guide you through life. Selected and introduced by writer, Zachary Seager. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, cloth-bound, pocket-sized classics. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

Discover wisdom from our greatest writers and philosophers to help you tackle life's big questions.

The Figure Going Imaginary

"The first edited collection of essays on the nineteenth-century diarist Anne Lister, this interdisciplinary collection highlights how her five-million-word diaries shifted paradigms and created awareness around same-sex practices. It engages with Lister's influence beyond academia through to her present-day screen adaptation"--

The first edited collection on Anne Lister (1791-1840), this interdisciplinary book explores how her diaries (as historical and literary text and in adaptation) reframe same-sex practices. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

Decoding Anne Lister

An intelligent and profoundly moving book about friendship, loneliness and the enduring myth of romantic love - for fans of The Lonely City and The Cost of Living.

On different ways of living

Alone

Rainbow Trap is the first book to foreground the importance of systems - and their associated documents, policies and administrative practices - as a key battleground for LGBTQ equalities in the UK. Looking across digital and non-digital systems, Guyan investigates six systems - hate crime reporting and the police, dating apps, borders, film and television, the body, and the business world - and exposes a hidden rule book that constructs, categorises and commodifies LGBTQ identities. While many organisations, businesses and workplaces talk a lot about diversity and inclusion, the internal workings of most systems remain unchanged. Efforts to 'fix' broken systems tend to follow a narrow set of options: elevate queer individuals to senior roles, add more 'diverse' people into organisations, acknowledge historical injustices, gather better evidence and address biases. But these solutions aren't working. Whether it is queer families fighting for each parent to be named on their child's birth certificate, lesbian couples offered an inferior selection of mortgage rates, bisexual asylum seekers asked to provide 'proof' of their sexuality, or gay actors forced to out themselves to meet diversity quotas, LGBTQ people encounter systems that are designed around a default person who is cisgender and straight. Everyone loses when systems repeatedly fail to reflect the world around us and make bad decisions based on biased assumptions. How we choose to engage with these systems - or if we choose to engage - is fundamental to everyone's future.

A young student searches the Internet for photos of libraries around the world, hoping he'll be able to visit them one day. Another walks around the city, taking notes of all the buildings she dreams of repairing. These are the stories of young people from Gaza, born under Israeli occupation and blockade. They are people who have endured unspeakable struggles and losses, who keep fighting to be recognised not as numbers, but as human beings with hopes, dreams and lives worth living. We Are Not Numbers was founded in 2014 to give voice to the youth of Gaza. In this collection, vital, urgent and full of heart, spanning over ten years to the present moment, we gain an unparalleled insight into the past, as well as the current and next generation of Palestinian leaders, artists, scientists and scholars and imagine where we might go from here. 'A vital book . . . a profoundly important literary event' CHINA MIEVILLE'A brilliant collection of voices that lays bare the struggles and suffering of ordinary young Palestinians' MONICA ALI'We Are Not Numbers is not just a book - it's my life, their life, and our shared story . . .

Everyman’s Library Contemporary Classics

Selected by Cynthia Ozick from a dozen books written across more than fifty years, the essays and short stories gathered here constitute a summing-up of her remarkable literary career. In such classic essays as "Who Owns Anne Frank?," "What Helen Keller Saw," "Dostoevsky's Unabomber," and "Transcending the Kafkaesque," Ozick examines some of the world's most illustrious writers and their work, tackles compelling contemporary literary and moral issues, and looks into the wellsprings of her own lifelong engagement with literature. In her short stories, including "A Hebrew Sibyl," "What Happened to the Baby?," "Dictation," "The Biographer's Hat," and "The Conversion of the Jews," Ozick demonstrates again and again her stylistic brilliance and the originality of her distinctive interweaving of the strands of history and myth.
