Stephen Bayley

PB
Gibson Square Books
$18.95
Wittgenstein said that if people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever happen. In this compelling A-Z of modern ignorance, Stephen Bayley gathers silly, curious and sometimes shocking facts on everything that makes our world tick. Why do we love mountains? Why was fear of drinking from skulls the original reason for cremation? And where does the word Fuck come from (guess what: think berets)? You’ll be surprised how much you never knew!

WHILE THE SUN IS ABOVE US

Freehand books
$29.95
While the Sun is Above Us takes us deep into the extraordinary world of South Sudan through the eyes of two women: Adut, a Dinka woman and Sandra, a Canadian aid worker. In the midst of a bloody civil war, chance brings Adut and Sandra unexpectedly together in a brief but profound moment that irrevocably changes both their lives. Here is a novel that gives us astonishing imaginative insight into the lives of innocents in a land at war, rendering unthinkable experiences—to have one’s village attacked, to be held captive, to lose one’s husband, to lose one’s children—with horrific clarity. Here is a novel that asks how strangers imagine each other, and what impact such imaginings may have. And finally, here is a novel that allows us hope—hope for a better future, for Adut, for Sandra, and for a new nation.
