Choose from:

EXILE
As the great sociologist Richard Sennett writes, ‘Home is not a physical place but a mobile need; wherever one is, home is always to be found somewhere else.’ Three extraordinary writers reflect on the condition of exile.
Included here:
Beautiful and Impossible Things: Selected Essays of Oscar Wilde, Introduced by Gyles Brandreth
The Foreigner: Two Essays on Exile by Richard Sennett
My Katherine Mansfield Project by Kirsty Gunn

NOSTALGIA
Each beautiful book in this collection expresses a wistful affection for a period in the past. Jonathan Keates writes on his secret passion for collecting vintage guide books; In On Dolls Some of the greatest thinkers and writers of our age, such as Baudelaire, Rilke, Freud and Kafka, meditate on play and the mysteries of inanimate life; and Joe Brainard’s cult classic chooses memories from his past each prefaced by the refrain ‘I Remember’.
Included here:
The Portable Paradise by Jonathan Keates
On Dolls by Kenneth Gross
I Remember by Joe Brainard

EPIPHANY
Each of these books reveals a moment of sudden revelation. Lewis Way – an accidental millionaire – had an epiphany which would lead him to devote his life and fortune to the return of the Jews to the Holy Land; Neurologist A.J. Lees was inspired by the writings of William Burroughs to find a ground breaking new treatment for Parkinson’s Disease; and the late, great art critic John Berger relates his astonishing return to sight after a cataract operation, illustrated by Selçuk Demirel.
Included here:
The Road to Apocalypse: The Extroardinary Journey of Lewis Way by Munro and Stanley Price
Mentored by a Madman: The William Burroughs Experiment by A.J. Lees
