  • Hens Lay, People Lie: a Novel and an Exegesis
    HENS LAY, PEOPLE LIE A Novel and an Exegesis Beyond Epistolarity: The Warp, the Weft and the Loom Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Glenice Joy Whitting Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Higher Education, Lilydale 2012 Abstract This thesis is comprised of two components: 'Hens Lay, People Lie', a novel, and an exegesis, Beyond Epistolarity the Warp, the Weft and the Loom. Together they propose that 'creative epistolarity', namely imaginative writing with factual material, including personal letters, emails and journals, provides women with a safe space where knowledge can be intuited, articulated or performed. In this space, women find their own creative voice, write their stories and in turn, understand themselves. 'Hens Lay, People Lie' draws heavily on the epistolary genre but aims to move beyond that genre by using an auto/biographical and creative epistolary style better suited to reveal emotion and character. The novel illustrates that creative epistolarity intersects with feminism and postmodernism and is uniquely placed to empower women to write their stories. The exegesis discusses theories, methodologies, fictional techniques and creative decisions made during the writing of the novel. Key writerly choices are examined: the choice of an epistolary novel and the importance of creative epistolarity as a way of knowing the self as well as production of knowledge. The research process is practice-led research informed by personal correspondence and personal history in the autoethnographic mode. The exegesis presents a reflective examination of existing works in the genre of epistolary fiction and calls on the practices of exponents of the epistolary form such as Elizabeth Jolley, Nancy Turner and Lionel Shriver.

These will require new ways of working, and are not substitutes for dedicated shops, which must be protected as much as possible Related reports: Value in volumes: Books, midlists and retail [2018-025] If your company is an Enders Analysis subscriber and you would like to receive our research directly to your inbox, let us know at www.endersanalysis.com/subscribers It is by now a familiar story: books, like many things that people can enjoy at home and at little expense, had an embarrassingly good pandemic. The Publishers Association reported that the consumer market saw 7% growth, to hit £2.1 billion. Fiction sales are sometimes seen as a good indicator of actual engagement with reading, as they are more likely to be bought and read by the purchaser, and they grew 16% to £688 million. So far, the strong performance has continued through the first few months of 2021.

  • WHEN IS a BOOKSHOP MORE THAN JUST a BOOKSHOP? Explore What Local People Have to Say About Newham Bookshop
    WHEN IS A BOOKSHOP MORE THAN JUST A BOOKSHOP? Explore what local people have to say about Newham Bookshop. Find their photo biographies to learn more about them. ‘When [my book] was coming up to publication, I saw Vivian, and she was being really excited about stocking the book. She didn’t even really know what it was about or anything, she was just like, ‘You’re local, we’re going to push your book.’ And then she said to me about having the launch there. And, I had never even thought about it. Because I thought I’m going to have the launch in Daunt Books in Marylebone, because that’s what you do, you’re a debut, you want to make a big splash. And she sort of said to me, ‘But you’re an East London writer, and, this is where you’re from. Why are you having it all the way in west London, Marylebone, in a bookshop where you never really go?’ And then, I thought about it, of course, she’s right, I’ve got to do it in Newham, so all my friends in my community could come. And that was lovely, and I’m so glad I did that. [People come up to me and say] ‘I just bought your book off Vivian.’ It’s really nice. I just feel so well supported by her, and by everyone in the bookshop. And you feel like they’re quite proud of you for doing it.' LUAN GOLDIE 'We’d say, ‘Oh we just went to look at the books,’ look at the books.

  • 2016 Catalogue
    2016 2016 ur publishing this year is as diverse as the titles lining our Oshelves and filling the tables of our shops. We’re always aiming to recreate the experience of browsing in a Daunt Books shop, where the eye darts from spine to cover and back again, exhilarated by the variety and choice on offer. All our books this year – whether redis- covered classic or exciting debut – have compelling stories, vibrant settings, and wonderful characters to fascinate and delight. Light Box by K J Orr encapsulates this diversity – it’s a globe-trotting wonder of a collection by a thrilling new talent. In the catalogue you’ll also find young Aziz coming of age in Green on Blue – Elliot Ackerman’s debut novel set in Afghanistan. There’s Marie, strolling the streets of 1930s Paris in Madeleine Bourdouxhe’s masterpiece. And then the hunt for quixotic Beatriz Yagoda, who vanishes up an almond tree in Ways to Disappear. In non-fiction, John McPhee’s extraordinary Oranges takes readers on an idiosyncratic journey in search of a fruit, and the story of Jack and Rochelle’s survival in 1940s Poland is moving and compelling in equal measure.
