04/11 - get ready for a fascinating evening with @EtheHerring and @emilytwrites about the profound, interesting, extraordinary, compelling, yet largely forgotten philosopher Henri Bergson. HB was all for creative and radical change. We could probs all do with a bit of that atm...
On November 4th I will be at @CollectedDurham to discuss my biography of Henri Bergson, Herald of a Restless World, with Prof @emilytwrites Tickets available here: https://t.co/Gmd2X1c4qi

It definitely feels like Autumn! We've got the perfect day planned for you - a walk round the Cathedral and along the river path with a takeaway coffee before coming and browsing our incredible selection of spooky books with a cinnamon bun! Sound good? Then come on in!!

Emma recommends... Sharply funny but also deeply sad, thought-provoking, and surprisingly gripping. Zoe is such an empathetically drawn character and I genuinely could not put this book in the final...

Hugely excited to be bringing @CharlotteMende1 to Durham next month to discuss her incredibly funny yet frightening, humorously horrific novel WIFE - pub. this week. Emma ate this one in a single sitting recently and can't wait to share it with you!
This week's the week: on Thurs, WIFE by @CharlotteMende1 - 'a family saga of rare insight' (the Observer) & 'a terrific panic attack of a novel' (the i) - comes out in hardback, 🎧& e. Charlotte will be doing a number of events around the country, starting this Weds; come! 🌹💜🥀

We're feeling dead jammy this morning because we received an early proof of Eliza Clark's new short story collection, SHE'S ALWAYS HUNGRY. If, like us, you raced through BOY PARTS and PENANCE, you should pre-order your copy immediately. Out 7 November! https://t.co/CNTLYCdza8

Caly recommends... Eliza Clark's weird and wonderful collection of short stories. Adopting her usual transgressive writing style, they are full to the brim with horror, humour, and INSATIABLE HUNGER....
