  'A beautiful love letter to the diaspora, Haramacy is an essential collection of essays that push the conversation forward on issues to do with visibility, mental health, race and class' Nikesh Shukla
  Journalism in the UK is 94 per cent white and 55 per cent male, while only 0.4 per cent of journalists are Muslim and 0.2 per cent are Black. The publishing industry's statistics are equally dire.
  This anthology offers a space for writers to explore ideas that mainstream organisations overlook. Focusing on the experiences of twelve Middle Eastern and South Asian writers, the essays explore visibility, invisibility, love, strength and race, painting a picture of what it means to feel fractured - both in the UK and back home. 
  The title, Haramacy, is an amalgamation of the Arabic word 'haram', meaning indecent or forbidden, and the English word 'pharmacy', implying a safe space that prescribes the antidote to ailments. The book features contributions by novelists, journalists, and artists such as Aina J. Khan, Cyrine Sinti, Joe Zadeh, Nouf Alhimiary and Sanjana Varghese, as well as essays by editors Dhruva Balram, Tara Joshi and Zahed Sultan.

  Ernest William Hornung was born in Middlesbrough, England on 7th June 1866, the third son and youngest of eight children.   
  Although spending most of his life in England and France he spent two years in Australia from 1884 and that experience was to colour and influence much of his written works. 
  His most famous character A. J. Raffles, ‘the gentleman thief’, was published first in Cassell's Magazine during 1898 and was to make him famous across the world as the new century dawned.  
  Hornung also wrote several stage plays and was a gifted poet. 
  Spending time with the troops in WWI he published Notes of a Camp-Follower on the Western Front during 1919, a detailed account of his time there.  This was especially close to his heart as his son, and only child, was killed at the Second Battle of Ypres on 6th July 1915.   
  Ernest William Hornung died in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, in the south of France on 22nd March 1921.
