A pioneering biography of George Orwell told through moments of everyday lifeA clever, offbeat history of mid-century Britain through George Orwells eyes. Helen LewisWhen we think about Orwell, we imagine an angular, moustachioed sceptic crouched over a typewriter, who between puffs on his cigarette composes effortless streams of prose, unadorned but explosive. We see a man with Important Things to Say about: the slow creep of authoritarianism; the consequences of all-seeing tech; the fragility of truth.Much less often do we see him as a person caught up in the business of everyday life. And yet Orwells work thrums with the quotidian: the smell of boiled cabbage, the chill of an unheated flat in early spring, the rumbling of old pipes.A Bright Cold Day reveals how the principles that govern us begin in the mundane. From waking and showering to breakfast, work, lunch, the pub, sleep and dreaming, Orwell was never dulled to the routines of living. And in the details of the day, we can understand how power, money, freedom and choice play out, not just for Orwells literary characters, but for us all.***An astute and intimate portrait of George Orwell. Dorian Lynskey, author of The Ministry of TruthBeautifully written... urgent and compelling. Emma Smith, author of Portable Magic

Henrys writing seat, and the White Horse Tavern, Dylan Thomass last night out in the Big Apple and a pub frequented by Norman Mailer, Jack Kerouac, Anais Nin, Frank McCourt and Bob Dylan. New York is blessed with many grand public libraries such as the Beaux-Arts New York Public Library, the Morgan Library and across the East River, the magnificent Art Deco Brooklyn Public Library.

This is not an inspirational memoir. This is not trauma porn. This is a memoir about the forces that impact our lives, both good and bad. Athena Stevens has never learned the name of the doctor whose lack of intervention at her birth lead to her cerebral palsy, but she feels the consequences of his actions and inaction every day. The factor observed first and foremost in her life will forever be the effects of what other people have done to her, rather than her accomplishments. And yet, she was groomed to believe that she would overcome any force that stood in her way. A memoir like no other, Whats Done Cannot be Undone takes readers on a whirlwind journey through Athenas life, providing a profound insight into the realities of moving through the world as a disabled woman. From being born dead to co-founding the Womens Equality Party; from not being picked to play the back of a cow to an Olivier Award nomination, this complex, lyrical, gut-punch of a memoir is laugh-out-loud funny, unrelentingly furious, and a powerful reminder that changing the world singlehandedly is as impossible as defying the laws of physics.
