Nutmeg’s Curse – Parables for a Planet in Crisis: Amitav Ghosh
In this work of non-fiction, Ghosh traces the violent history of the nutmeg trade. By tracing this history, Ghosh not only exposes the ecological damage wrought by colonialism but also imparts valuable insights for navigating the challenges of the Anthropocene.
ISDAL – Susannah Dickey
This fantastic poetry collection interrogates our cultural obsession of the true crime genre. In it, we follow the story of an unsolved murder told through the lens of deeply unserious podcast.
Minor Detail – Adania Shibli
Set in the Occupied Palestine Territories, Minor Detail is a haunting story of war and life under occupation. It details a chilling incident that take places in 1949, with the repercussions of this event reverberating across decades to modern day Ramallah.
