MAY PUBLICATION DAY

This May, we bring you an enriching mix of internationally acclaimed, translated fiction, and meticulously crafted nonfiction from local authors. A book on the psychology of relationships by forensic psychologist Ahona Guha, an extraordinary work of true crime by Patrick Mullins, the International Booker Prize-shortlisted novel Taiwan Travelogue, a wildly surreal work of French fiction, and a deep exploration into the animal kingdom's parenting styles. ⁠

HOW WE RELATE by Dr Ahona Guha (@drahonaguha)⁠
Whether you’re struggling with difficult family members, navigating workplace politics, or seeking deeper intimacy in love, this book provides the psychological tools to understand yourself and transform your relationships. ⁠

 THE STAINED MAN by Patrick Mullins (@pjfmullins)⁠
‘Patrick Mullins tells a stunning tale of attempted murder, secrets, politics, and lies. In this extraordinary story we can read the tea leaves of the century to come: the strong forces at work in scandal, the volatile power of celebrity, and the immense damage that reckless ambition can do.’⁠
Sean Kelly⁠

TAIWAN TRAVELOGUE by Shuāng-zǐ Yáng (@roseyanger), translated by Lin King (@linkinglionking)⁠
Disguised as a translation of a rediscovered text by a Japanese writer, this novel was a sensation on its first publication in Mandarin Chinese in 2020. Taiwan Travelogue unburies lost colonial histories and deftly reveals how power dynamics inflect our most intimate relationships.⁠

SELF-WORTH by Emma Tholozan (@emmoulie), translated by Emma Ramadan (@emkateram) ⁠
One day Anna's boyfriend Lulu starts throwing up cash — thousands of euros in just a few days. As Anna grows accustomed to a life of luxury, Lulu’s health suffers, and she wonders: what would be worse, losing him or losing the money?⁠

THE CREATURES' GUIDE TO CARING by Elizabeth Preston (@by.elizabeth.preston) ⁠
‘Elizabeth Preston’s writing shimmers with wit, charisma, and infectious delight, as she shows how the act of caretaking connects us to the rest of the animal kingdom.’⁠
