Eating Ashes by the multi-award-winning author Brenda Navarro, reviewed in the @NewYorker: “This is a book that treats its characters and incidents seriously and—at its best—ruthlessly.”
@englishpen.bsky.social @oneworldbooks.bsky.social

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Brenda Navarro, author of Eating Ashes, in conversation with Silvia Quin Rothlisberger hosted by @cervanteslondon.bsky.social @oneworldnews.bsky.social

'A visionary work… Lubrin takes one of the most brutal legal documents of the colonial era and transforms it into an audacious work of literary resistance… [It] is not simply a response to history but an insistence on its unfinished reckoning.'

What a privilege - watching Hamnet at a private screening hosted by the @WomensPrize, based on the Women’s Prize-winning novel (2020) by Maggie O’Farrell. Director Chloé Zhao introduced the film, plus a Q&A w/ Maggie O'Farrell & Co-Producer Liza Marshall. Such a treat!
