HISTORY
PETER ACKROYD QUEER CITY CHATTO, 25TH, H/B, £16.99, 9780701188801
With his “trademark colour and anecdote”, Ackroyd chronicles the history of London through the history and experiences of its gay community, from the “wolf dens” and penis worship of Roman Londinium and the fashionable female transvestism of the 1620s; to the frenzy of executions for sodomy in the early 1800s, and the “gay plague” of the 1980s. He celebrates the city’s diversity, thrills and energy on the one hand, while also reminding us of its very real terrors, dangers and risks on the other. Published to coincide with London Pride, it sounds like a winning combination of author, subject and zeitgeist.
PHILOSOPHY & RELIGION
JULES EVANS THE ART OF LOSING CONTROL CANONGATE, 4TH, H/B, £16.99, 9781782118671 “Why should our lives be governed only by rationalism when we are capable of so many more states of experience?”, says Evans. He argues that rather than always worrying about getting ahead, winning friends and attracting praise, we must instead find ways to escape the isolation of our egos—because our understanding of life will be less rich, less profound and less rigorous without doing so if we do not. His exploration of ecstatic experience blends personal anecdote and interviews, with readings from philosophers ancient and modern, and will “change the way you think about how you feel”.
LANGUAGE & LITERATURE
WAYNE FLINT MOCKINGBIRD SONGS HEINMANN, 4TH, H/B, £9.99, 9781785151316
The violent racism of the American South drove Wayne Flynt away from his home state of Alabama until the publication of To Kill a Mockingbird inspired him to return in the early 1960s, crafting a career
documenting and teaching Alabama history. A meeting with Harper Lee in 1983 sparked a correspondence which lasted until the former’s death in 2016. Their letters, published here for the first time offer “an incisive and compelling look into the mind, heart and work” of one of the most famously private of writers.
BIOGRAPHY & MEMOIRS
STUART HERITAGE DON’T BE A DICK, PETE SQUARE PEG, 4TH, P/B, £12.99, 9781910931479
Growing up, Heritage—now a writer for the Guardian—was always the favourite son, and all round good guy, while his younger brother Pete was “quick-tempered, peevish and aggressively pig-headed”. But when Stu moves back to his home town from London some years later, he discovers that Pete has taken his place as the practical and resourceful one, while Stu is still “fumbling around in the dark”. This fraternal biography of two brothers which compares the spoils of their different approaches to life is touching, true and very funny. Heritage will be doing a nationwide theatre tour to coincide with publication.
