Jean by Madeleine Dunnigan review – sex and teenage secrets Queer self-discovery drives this powerful coming-of-age debut set in a bohemian 1970s school

The most wonderful review by Neil Bartlett for @theguardian.com's BOTD on Madeleine Dunnigan's '[It will] speak to anyone who can remember how glorious – and dangerous – it once felt to find yourself in possession of a fully functioning heart.' Out THURSDAY! www.theguardian.com/books/2026/f...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

it is *exactly* that - next draft arrives in my inbox Monday, proofs... end of March, maybe?? Maybe earlier?? I'll make sure we send you one, it's pretty special

😍😍😍 I wanted to choose just one non-daunt book to cheer on bar our own EARTH 7 but goddamn this stack is too good, help:

She asks if you've seen the sea, asks if it's day, if it's light. You say the sun's rising, but that at this time of year it takes a long time to light up the whole sky. She asks you what color the sea is. You say: Black. She says the sea's never black. You must be mistaken.

You must be mistaken

Any event at Bàrd Books is a good time but the Debut Nights are especially fun - a lovely way for debuts to kick their campaigns off, and for readers to hear from THE hottest new writers:

Rhythms of mountain time The memory of Majumdar’s writing makes its presence felt in Anuradha Roy’s 'Called by the Hills', even before she is mentioned by the author

Srimoyee Bagchi for the Telegraph India on Anuradha Roy's CALLED BY THE HILLS is a really wonderful review - beautiful, thoughtful articulation of what makes this memoir so special: www.telegraphindia.com/amp/books/rh...

ICYMI: Fatima Bhutto was in this weekend's @theguardian.com, ahead of the publication of her memoir THE HOUR OF THE WOLF. A beautiful storyteller and person, her warmth and courage shines out:

Proofs are really fun because essentially we don't have to get approval from anyone. We just send the designers the copy and... give them free rein... these are two of our summer novels and couldn't be more different ALTHOUGH, mind you, both have masculinity and belonging at their heart

I love their finished jackets but I DO often really, really love our proofs - these two being good examples!! Hope you enjoy both...

oh, YES! new marketing strategy just dropped 🎾
