Recommended - Bluets by Maggie Nelson

08.13.2017 by Ollie //

£10.99 / hardcover

Reserve

The long-awaited UK edition of Bluets following Nelson’s recent success, and an absolutely crucial read for fans of The Argonauts. Meditations on colour, love, and loss, rendered in tender, tragic, and often staggeringly beautiful forms. I read this in a single sitting whilst on a plane, and at times had to struggle not to stand up and start yelling maniacally, book aloft in triumph.

Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders

04.09.2017 by Ollie //

Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
£18.99 / hardcover

Reserve

It's a rare thing when a writer seems to succeed in carving out a totally new form, not least when they're ostensibly working in the realm of historical fiction! That is what Saunders has achieved however, and this, his first full-length work following four highly acclaimed collections of short stories, is one of the most exciting releases of 2017 so far. 'The Bardo' of the title is the metaphysical plane of Tibetan Buddhism where spirits are said to reside before they realise they have died, 'Lincoln' is Willie Lincoln, infant son of President Abraham, and Saunders' oral-history-novel-play floats largely outside comfortable description. One to be experienced as much as read.
