MAY WE FEED THE KING by Rebecca Perry $35
May We Feed the King dances between a historical subject who resists the march of progress and a woman who turns to the past to hide from her present, to offer a beguiling meditation on history and storytelling: on what makes a King 'Great', and a life meaningful.
THE STARVING BRIDE by Catherine Chidgey $38
Catherine Chidgey’s much-anticipated new novel in set in a near future where suffering is presented as an amausement to distract the populace from mounting disasters, and personal appearance has replaced ethics as a guiding force for action (just like our own times on both counts, actually!).
ON TYRANNY (Graphic edition) by Timothy Snyder and Nora Krug Special price: $36

END TIMES FASCISM by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor $40
”Their analysis of contemporary fascism is grounded and convincing - and I love the explosion of language that comes from their conversations, their passion, and their insistence that we make a vibrant common life on earth that reverses climate catastrophe and affirms social and economic equality." —Judith Butler
THE VIVISECTORS by Missouri Williams $35
"The final chapter of Missouri Williams’s The Vivisectors is titled ‘The Future Sublime’ and I think this is it: a lush, verdant, light-saturated take on bad nature, contaminated politics and rotten institutions that is both awesome and terrifying. Singularly strange, ambitious and brilliant." —Kate Briggs, Goldsmiths Prize judge
