Happy April publication day!
The year is speeding ahead, and here in Australia we’re moving further into the Autumnal season. There is one thing we really love to do at Scribe as the weather gets cooler, and that’s curl up with a seriously good book.
So without further ado, our APRIL TITLES:
In hella entertaining queer fiction: I LEAVE IT UP TO YOU by Jinwoo Chong. Reluctantly returning to New Jersey and a kitchen job at the sushi restaurant his family runs, Jack Jr finds himself suddenly dependent on his dysfunctional and very estranged Asian American family. A hilarious, heartwarming rom-com that proves that sometimes home is exactly where you belong.
🎨 In surrealist literary comics: I ATE THE WHOLE WORLD TO FIND YOU by Rachel Ang. ‘Here are stories of the body’s darkest moments and profoundest ecstasies, bound up in a lush, strange, genre-defying collection. I adored this book.’ (Carmen Maria Machado)
🐍 In ultra-gripping journalistic nonfiction: FORTY DAYS IN THE JUNGLE by Mat Youkee. ‘Forty Days in the Jungle has all the pace and tension of a real-life thriller, conveying the mystery and allure of the Amazon while being clear-eyed about the social and political challenges facing the region.’ (Laurence Blair)
✨ In enlightening nonfiction: IMMORTAL GESTURES by Damon Young. A tilted head. A finger to the lips. A raised palm of piety and fellowship. Our gestures do not simply point to our thoughts, they are our thoughts made flesh. Join award-winning philosopher Damon Young as he sheds light on thirteen curious gestures.
