  A Truce That Is Not Peace

  "Essential reading. A companion for turbulent times."—Laura van den Berg 
    
  Internationally bestselling author Miriam Toews' memoir of the will to write—a work of disobedient memory, humor, and exquisite craft set against a content-hungry, prose-stuffed society. 
    
  “Why do you write?” the organizer of a literary event in Mexico City asks Miriam Toews. Each attempted answer from Toews—all of them unsatisfactory to the organizer—surfaces new layers of grief, guilt, and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realizes, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her readers, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy. 
    
  Marking the first time Toews has written her own life in nonfiction, A Truce That Is Not Peace explores the uneasy pact a writer makes with memory. Wildly inventive yet masterfully controlled; slyly casual yet momentous; wrenching and joyful; hilarious and humane—this is Miriam Toews at her dazzling best, remaking her world and inventing an astonishing new literary form to contain it.

  The Secret Ingredients in Your...

  The food we consume each day often seems simple — bread, cereal, snacks, and beverages that fill grocery store shelves. Yet behind these seemingly ordinary products lies a hidden world of chemicals, additives, and artificial ingredients that most consumers never notice. While food labels provide some insight, the reality is that many harmful substances are deliberately disguised with complex names or misleading descriptions. This secrecy has allowed big food companies to use potentially dangerous ingredients while marketing their products as safe, natural, or even healthy.  
    
  One major reason these additives are so widespread is their role in extending shelf life, enhancing flavor, and improving texture. Preservatives, for example, allow products to last for months or even years without spoiling. While this may seem convenient, some preservatives have been linked to serious health concerns such as hormonal disruption, digestive issues, and even increased cancer risks. Similarly, flavor enhancers like monosodium glutamate (MSG) are designed to trigger cravings and increase consumption, yet they may also contribute to headaches, fatigue, and neurological problems.  
    
  Artificial sweeteners, another common additive, are often marketed as healthier alternatives to sugar. However, studies suggest that these substances may interfere with metabolism, increase the risk of obesity, and disrupt gut bacteria. Even seemingly harmless color additives — used to make processed foods appear vibrant and appealing — have been linked to behavioral changes in children and allergic reactions in some adults.

  An indispensable guide to understanding the Israel–Palestine conflict, and how we might yet still find a way out of it. 
   
   
   
  "Ilan Pappe is the most original, radical and hard-hitting of Israel's 'new historians.'" —Avi Shlaim, author of Three Worlds 
   
   
   
  The devastation of 7 October 2023 and the horrors that followed astounded the world. But the Israel–Palestine conflict didn't start on 7 October. It didn't start in 1967 either, when Israel occupied the West Bank, or in 1948 when the state of Israel was declared. It started in 1882, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in what was then Ottoman Palestine. Ilan Pappe untangles the history of two peoples, now sharing one land. Going back to the founding fathers of Zionism, Pappe expertly takes us through the twists and turns of international policy towards Israel–Palestine, Palestinian resistance to occupation, and the changes taking place in Israel itself.
