Sinopse

***A Waterstones Best Books of 2022 pick***


'A unique, funny picture of Britain... A love letter to bookshops and the vagaries of public transport.' Richard Osman

'Ince's love of books is infectious.' 'Books of the Year', Independent


Why play to 12,000 people when you can play to 12? In Autumn 2021, Robin Ince's stadium tour with Professor Brian Cox was postponed due to the pandemic. Rather than do nothing, he decided instead to go on a tour of over a hundred bookshops in the UK, from Wigtown to Penzance; from Swansea to Margate.


Packed with witty anecdotes and tall tales, Bibliomaniac takes the reader on a journey across Britain as Robin explores his lifelong love of bookshops and books - and also tries to find out just why he can never have enough of them.


It is the story of an addiction and a romance, and also of an occasional points failure just outside Oxenholme.

    A Grotesque Animal

    At the age of forty-three, Amy Lee Lillard learned she was autistic. She learned she was part of a community of unseen women who fell through the gaps due to medical bias and social stereotypes. 
     
     
     
    A Grotesque Animal explores the making, unmaking, and making again of a woman with an undiagnosed disorder. How did a working-­class background and a deep-rooted Midwest culture of silence lead to hiding in plain sight for decades? How did sexuality and anger hide the roots of trauma among the women in her family? And what does it mean to be a queer, disabled, aging woman, a descendant of wild but tamed mothers and a survivor of the things patriarchy inflicts? 
     
     
     
    Through wide-ranging styles and a combination of personal storytelling and cultural analysis, Lillard dissects anger, sexuality, autistic masking, bodies, punk, and female annihilation to create a new picture of modern women.

    Bleeding Truth - A Memoir

    Bleeding Truth is a gripping and deeply human memoir that exposes the hidden realities of war, injustice, and survival. Told with raw honesty and emotional intensity, it follows the author’s journey from the unforgiving front lines to the long and painful struggles that follow injury, trauma, and betrayal. As both a veteran and a medical professional, the author brings a rare dual perspective—witnessing the brutality of conflict firsthand while also caring for those whose stories the world seldom hears. 
    The memoir reveals the moments of terror, courage, and impossible decisions that define life in war. But it also uncovers the quieter battles that continue long after the fighting stops: the physical wounds that refuse to heal, the psychological scars that return in silence, and the constant demand for strength when the world expects silence. Through this personal lens, Bleeding Truth confronts corruption, human rights violations, and the painful consequences of speaking out in a system built on fear. 
    Yet the heart of the story is not only suffering—it is resilience. It is the determination to rise after being broken, to speak after being threatened, and to find purpose after being silenced. The memoir honors the people who stood beside the author—family, friends, colleagues, and strangers who offered hope during the darkest moments. 
    Intense, honest, and unforgettable, Bleeding Truth invites readers into a world where courage is often the only weapon and truth becomes an act of defiance. It is a testament to the human spirit and a reminder that even in pain, one can find meaning, strength, and the will to fight for justice

    NHOJ - A Memoir That Started...

    As a journalist and author, John Lazenby has spent more than forty years chronicling the tales of others. But for much of his life he closely guarded his own compelling story – a long and challenging struggle with childhood dyslexia, unable to read or write at a time when neurodiversity was rarely considered or recognised. Sent away to boarding school at the age of seven, John's future pivoted on the life-changing intervention of a teacher who finally understood the boy whom no one else could teach.
    In this warm and poignant memoir, John traces his misadventures through the unforgiving education system of the 1960s, when illiteracy was viewed as a character defect that could be rectified by stern discipline and regular beatings, and takes us on an evocative visit to the not-so-distant past, introducing the kind and eccentric family who never gave up on him – and the array of teachers who did.
    We follow the intrepid progress of a boy who could write only one word – his name, spelled backwards – to a man who finally found his true calling after a series of setbacks and false starts, only to make the late discovery that he had travelled through life unaware of a second neurodiversity, hiding in plain sight. Heart-warming, hilarious, raw and shocking, NHOJ is a tribute to overcoming challenges, ignoring barriers and holding on to hope in a world that initially seems to have no place for you.
