Synopsis

In "Married," August Strindberg immerses readers in the tumultuous landscape of interpersonal relationships, crafting a narrative that unveils the complexities of marriage through a blend of realism and modernist sensibilities. Written in Strindberg's signature incisive prose, the novel navigates themes of love, power dynamics, and existential despair within the confines of domestic life. Through his vivid character portrayals and psychological depth, Strindberg critiques bourgeois values and illustrates the sometimes inescapable discontent found within intimate partnerships, making this work resonate within the literary context of the late 19th century. August Strindberg, a pivotal figure in Swedish literature, is renowned for his exploration of human psychology and social issues, often drawn from his own tumultuous life experiences. His tumultuous marriages and personal struggles with gender roles and identity provided fertile ground for the emotional intensity found in "Married." Strindberg's innovative approach to drama and narrative, coupled with his philosophical ponderings, reflects a quest to understand the very nature of human relationships, making this novel a cornerstone of his literary oeuvre. For readers delving into the intricacies of human relationships and the inherent tensions within marriage, "Married" serves as a compelling and thought-provoking exploration. Strindberg's incisive character studies and unflinching examination of societal norms invite readers to reflect on their own notions of love and partnership, rendering this work an essential read for those interested in the intersections of psychology, sociology, and modernist literature.

Best friends Zaid and Neelam shared a dream: get away, make it as writers, build a future where they're free to be themselves. Together, always.
Years later, things are far from what they expected. Zaid's life has kinda stalled – he's half out the closet, living at home and still chasing the dream. While Neelam's has taken a completely different path as she chooses to prioritise her own happiness. As their lives pull further apart, leaving a mess of unsaid things between them, it's going to take something real to bring them back together.
Waleed Akhtar's play The Real Ones is a funny and honest love letter to platonic soulmates. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Anthony Simpson-Pike, and starring Nathaniel Curtis and Mariam Haque.

In in Singularity, verbal and visual imagery merge seamlessly. Artworks from my in Singularity sketchbook—together with selected pieces from my wider archive of drawings and paintings—now accompany the poems that inspired them, as well as those they in turn inspired. 
I am both a mother and a child. 
The child writes with an innate curiosity about the small things of the world. 
The mother reflects on the self, on grown-up love and loss, on the beginnings and endings of life. Sometimes the mother edits the child’s work; other times the child urges the mother to write fearlessly, to explore without hesitation, to embrace mistakes. 
As I revisit my past writing, recurring themes surface: my skin as a generating idea, water in nature, the end of the universe, the celebration of life, and the necessity of letting go to regain control. These threads called me to gather my writings—poetry and prose alike, from sketchbooks and beyond—into this book. 
The small fragments of text accumulate over time, gaining weight until they gather themselves into a few poems each year. Meanwhile, the drawings in my sketchbook, once left behind, have found their own expressive ground and grown into full illustrations. They now accompany the text, reminding us of the interconnected, idea-generating relationship between the verbal and the visual.
