We are proud to announce the acquisition and forthcoming publication of acclaimed feminist poet, writer, translator, academic, and anti-caste activist @meenakandasamy’s bold new novel, Fieldwork as a Sex Object — releasing in 2026.
An incendiary exploration of race, politics, sex, sexuality, and the insecurities that shape human behaviour, this novel is a blistering portrait of a woman fighting to reclaim her voice in a merciless digital world.

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate (what we assume will be) the end of Tory leadership than with this stunning visual showcase of @ByDonkeys acts of resistance against the corruption, lies and inept ruling of Britain. Pre-order now in all the usual places.
If you're heading to @BedfordParkFest do not miss out on what will be a fascinating conversation between Susannah Simons & @Marc_Millon on the history of Italy as told through its wines 🍷🇮🇹⚡️
If you call the Ashmolean Museum your local, you could head down to see Michael Pye there on the 19th June talking about his book, Antwerp! ashmolean.org/event/michael-…
