Okojie Irenosen: QUIXOTIC FISSURES / LF

QUIXOTIC FISSURES

A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEARWhen everyday life becomes a state of emergency, how can yesterday's words suffice?'We were so happy and didn't know it...'A thirty-three-year-old writer lives in a quiet European suburb with his wife and his dog. His parents have bought an apartment nearby. On weekends they go out for brunch, cook and see friends. Life is good; it is normal. Then the invaders come. The Language of War is about what happens when your world changes overnight. When you wake up to the sound of helicopters and the smell of gunpowder. When your home is hit by shells or broken into by gunmen, and you spend another night in a basement-turned-bomb shelter. When, even though you've never held a weapon before, you realise the only choice is to fight back. It is about things one can never forget, or forgive. Bringing together Oleksandr Mykhed's vivid day-by-day chronicles of the invasion of Ukraine with a chorus of other voices - his family, friends in exile, those who have fought and have witnessed unimaginable atrocities - this book is both a record, and a reckoning. Haunting and timeless, it asks how it is possible to find the words to describe a new reality; how you can still make sense of the world when the only language you can speak is the language of war.

The book will be a work of non-fiction examining the intersections of sex work, power, violence and feminism, building on an article the author wrote for n+1 on these same topics. It will examine and debunk prevalent myths of what commercial sex is and isn't; reveal sex workers not as hostages of the patriarchy, but as leaders of feminist movements; strip away the commonly accepted pillars of conversation around sex work to ask whether it's useful to frame 'sex work' as 'work' at all; and use international examples from the US, UK and elsewhere to build a picture of the current state of legislation and possible futures.

The Anatomy of Love

The hilarious and piercing memoir about growing up gay in a not-so-gay world. 'A beautiful celebration of being different.' TOM ALLEN'An important story, told with a sharp wit and disarming humour' MOHSIN ZAIDI author of A Dutiful Boy'Brilliant, spectacularly witty and genuinely moving. I loved it.' MATTHEW TODD, author of Straight JacketI'm just a man, standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a cake. What do you do when you're too gay for Pakistan, too Pakistani to be gay in America and you're ashamed of your body everywhere?How can you find happiness despite years of humiliation, fear and a legion of Brooklyn hipsters who know you only as a queer from Whereveristan?How do you summon the courage to be yourself no matter where you are?Even as a young child in Lahore, Komail Aijazuddin knew he was different. Other boys didn't pirouette off their desks, get bullied for their 'manboobs' or spontaneously burst into songs from The Little Mermaid. Other boys didn't play together like that. Starved of a crucial part of himself, he ate. And ate. Before long, his own body became another burden to carry everywhere and to hide. Komail began to believe his only chance at a happy, meaningful life would be found elsewhere: in America, land of the free, home of the gays. But he would soon learn that finding happiness takes a lot more than a plane ticket. This is Aijazuddin's riotous, intelligent memoir of searching for his place between two worlds while navigating a minefield of expectations, prejudice and self-doubt. In Manboobs, Aijazuddin confidently announces himself as a sharp new voice in humour with his moving, wickedly funny search for love and the bravery required to be yourself.

A very queer memoir
