  • Helen Charman & Lola Olufemi: Mother State
    In Mother State (Allen Lane), Helen Charman uses this provocative insight to write a new history of Britain and Northern Ireland. Beginning with Women's Liberation and ending with austerity, the book follows mothers' fights for an alternative future. Here we see a world where motherhood is not a restrictive identity but a state of possibility. ‘Mother’ ceases to be an individual responsibility, and becomes an expansive collective term to organise under, for people of any gender, with or without children of their own. It begins with an understanding: that to mother is a political act. Charman discusses her book with Lola Olufemi, author of Feminism, Interrupted and Experiments in Imagining Otherwise.Find more events at the Bookhsop: https://lrb.me/eventspod Hosted on Acast.

    Best known for her novels – most recently, 2021’s The Fell – now Sarah Moss has turned her hand to life-writing. My Good Bright Wolf unflinchingly details her experience of girlhood and anorexia in prose described by Jan Carson as ‘part memoir, part confessional, part dark and feverish fairytale’.

  • Abi Palmer & Zarina Muhammad: Slugs – A Manifesto
    Why be a slug? Slugs: A Manifesto (Makina Books) explores a creature that survives by being disgusting. Weaving together manifesto, memoir and poetic language, artist Abi Palmer considers the politics of space, iridescent queerness, and shapeshifting viscous ‘slug time’. In the face of a potential apocalypse, Slugs: A Manifesto envisions a future where humanity becomes just a little more sluglike.Palmer was joined in conversation with Zarina Muhammad of The White Pube, co-author of the forthcoming Poor Artists (Particular Books).Find more events at the Bookhsop: https://lrb.me/eventspod Hosted on Acast.

  • Sinéad Gleeson & Douglas Stuart: Hagstone

  • Catherine Lacey & Jen Calleja: Biography of X
    In Catherine Lacey’s dystopian thriller, recently published in paperback by Granta, CM Lucca, widow of a recently deceased avant-garde artist, sets out to write a biography of the woman she idolised. Her quest leads her, through a maze of pseudonyms, half-truths and outright fabrications, on a journey into the Southern Territory, a fascist theocracy that seceded from the Union after the Second World War. Lacey, author of three previous novels and one of Granta’s ‘Best of Young American Novelists’, was joined in conversation about her work by Jen Calleja, translator, co-founder of micro-press Praspar and author of Vehicle (Prototype).Find more events at the Bookshop: https://lrb.me/eventspod Hosted on Acast.
