'Witty and utterly enjoyable! At the heart of ever

'Witty and utterly enjoyable! At the heart of every story is a juicy scandal waiting to unfold. This is definitely the best of Lagos situationships in three hundred pages' - Sally Kenneth Dadzie, bestselling author of #StrangerInLagos

Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad by @damilarekuku is a collection of twelve short stories featuring characters with unique voices and stories that represent the diverse class, gender and ethnic melting pot that is Lagos.

There’s a story of a young lady who tries to find her oyibo soulmate on the streets of Lagos; another of a pastor’s wife who defends her husband from an allegation of adultery; a wife takes a knife to her husband’s penis; a night of lust between a rising musician and his Instagram baddie takes an unexpected turn.

Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad underscores with wit, humour, wisdom and sensitivity, the perils of trying to find lasting love and companionship in Africa’s most notorious city.

How do we deal with the aftermath of catastrophe?

How do we deal with the aftermath of catastrophe?

It’s ten years since a deadly pandemic swept the globe, and five years since the last new recorded case. Society came close to collapse, but now there’s a vaccine – though not a cure – people are only dying in the usual ways.

Lukas, along with several hundred other infected people, is quarantined in a camp on a mountain of Central Asia. With nothing to do, and no future to speak of, the inmates pass the time drinking, taking drugs, joining a cult, making are or having sex with whoever they can.

Rebecca is a scientist who worked on the vaccine that saved the world. Having lost her partner in the years of chaos, she keeps testing the vaccine against mutations of the virus, because it seems inevitable that there will be a next time.

Quarantine by Nick Holdstock is a thrillingly intelligent novel about how we – as individuals, and as a society – deal with the aftermath of catastrophe.

Happy publication day to #OtherPeopleManage by Ell

Happy publication day to #OtherPeopleManage by Ellen Hawley, a novel about hard-earned but everyday love. It's about family and it's about loss. It's the kind of novel that only someone who has lived enough of life could write - frequently funny, at times almost unbearably moving, but above all extraordinarily wise.

'A short, quietly devastating novel about our failings and how we cope; if you can imagine an Anne Tyler or Carol Shields novel about an outsize lesbian bus driver and the ordinary complexity of the second family love draws around her you're close to what Ellen Hawley achieves here' - Patrick Gale

'Ellen Hawley has constructed a powerful and illuminating vision of contemporary love. Other People Manage makes a story that is painful and difficult at the same time it is deeply rewarding' - David Huddle, author of #OnlytheLittleBone and #Hazel

'Memorable for its examination of the themes of love, loss and family - and Marge's voice, both no-nonsense and touching' - Fanny Blake, Daily Mail

Out now in all good bookstores and online.

‘This book is a must for everyone interested in

‘This book is a must for everyone interested in illuminating the idea of unexplainable genius’ – QUESTLOVE

Happy publication day to @dcharnas riveting biography of J Dilla. Equal parts biography, musicology, and cultural history, #DillaTime chronicles the life and legacy of J Dilla, a musical genius who transformed the sound of popular music for the twenty-first century.

In Dilla Time, Dan Charnas chronicles the life of James DeWitt Yancey, from his gifted Detroit childhood to his rise as a sought-after hip-hop producer to the rare blood disease that caused his premature death. He follows the people who kept Dilla and his ideas alive. And he rewinds the histories of American rhythms: from the birth of Motown soul to funk, techno, and disco. Here, music is a story of what happens when human and machine times are synthesized into something new.

This is the story of a complicated man and his machines; his family, friends, partners, and celebrity collaborators; and his undeniable legacy. Based on nearly two hundred original interviews, and filled with graphics that teach us to feel and ‘see' the rhythm of Dilla’s beats, Dilla Time is a book as defining and unique as J Dilla’s music itself.
