Vinatge Books 2011 Paperback, 176pp. In any 24 hours there might be sleeping, eating, kids, parents, friends, lovers, work, school, travel, deadlines, emails, phone calls, Facebook, Twitter, the news, the TV, Playstation, music, movies, sport, responsibilities, passions, desires, dreams. Why should you stop what you're doing and read a book? People have always needed stories. We need literature - novels, poetry - because we need to make sense of our lives, test our depths, understand our joys and discover what humans are capable of. Great books can provide companionship when we are lonely or peacefulness in the midst of an overcrowded daily life. Reading provides a unique kind of pleasure and no-one should live without it. In the ten essays in this book some of our finest authors and passionate advocates from the worlds of science, publishing, technology and social enterprise tell us about the experience of reading, why access to books should never be taken forgranted, how reading transforms our brains, and how literature can save lives. In any 24 hours there are so many demands on your time and attention - make books one of them. Carmen Callil Tim Parks Nicholas Carr Michael Rosen Jane Davis Zadie Smith Mark Haddon Jeanette Winterson Blake Morrison Dr Maryanne Wolf andamp; Dr Mirit Barzillai. (ISBN: 9780099565949). Good.

RACTCLIFFE, Jo [photography] & Zadie SMITH [story]

Two Men Arrive in a Village.

. 25 x 18.5 cm. [120] pp. Softcover with dustjacket. lllustrated in b/w. - Series: The Gould Collection 5 - Text in English and Japanese. - The fifth volume of 'The Gould Collection' contains a selection of photographs made by Jo Ractliffe between 1985 and 2019 that depict South Africa, from the Great Karoo and the northern provinces of Gauteng and Limpopo to Zimbabwe, and from the Western Cape up the coast to Namibia and Angola. The dialogue between Ractliffe's images and Zadie Smith's parable is simultaneously a forthright and subtle commentary on injustice and imbalances of power. Together they work to displace familiar narratives of violence and unsettle clichéd depictions of the African region in favour of a more nuanced interplay between the real and allegorical. - Lacking the banderole, otherwise a good copy

From the publisher's blurb, "Hobbes, Smith, Bentham, Locke and Russell: Five identical blocks make up the Caldwell housing estate in North West London If you grew up in this relic of seventies urban design, the plan was to get out and get on, to something better, somewhere else Thirty years later, Caldwell kids Leah, Natalie, Felix and Nathan have all moved on, with varying degrees of success - whatever that means Living only streets apart, they occupy separate worlds, and navigate an atomized city in which few care to be their neighbour's keeper Then one April afternoon a stranger comes to Leah's door, seeking help, disturbing the peace, and forcing Leah out of her isolation From private houses to public parks, at work and at play, where the main streets hide the back alleys and taking the high road can sometimes lead you to a dead end, NW is a quietly devastating novel of encounters Depicting the modern urban zone - familiar to town-dwellers everywhere - Zadie Smith's brilliant tragi-comic new novel is as mercurial and vital as the city itself." 295 pp. including Acknowledgments.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. .
