He has written for CNN, Forbes, Radio Times, VICE and more. He lives with his partner and pet Maltese, Gigi, in London. Tufayel is also a BA (Hons) Journalism lecturer at London South Bank University, and is currently leading the campaign #DiversifyTheNewsroom. In a similar vein to Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams, TO HELL WITH IT is a bold and witty upmarket commercial fiction novel exploring love, race, sexuality, mental health, and the ties of family and friendship in con- temporary multicultural Britain. It follows its unforgettable protagonist Am- ar, a young gay, British South Asian man, after he comes out to his family. Amar has kept his sexuality a secret for 28 years, when he impulsively announces to his conserva- tive Muslim family over Whatsapp that he is gay… and about to get married. Being gay is already at odds with the religious and cultural traditions of his second-generation Bangladeshi British family, and what makes matters even more complicated is that his partner Joshua is white and non-Muslim. In the aftermath of this bombshell, Amar prepares himself for who in his family will accept his true identity, but he isn’t prepared for a whole host of other is- sues that this brings out. Amar is funny and self-deprecating but he has also spent a lifetime minimising feelings of shame and humiliation that stem from his experiences of homophobia and racial prejudice, as well as burying his grief over his mother’s death. As he navigates whether his sexuality can co-exist with his religion, his family’s beliefs and the memory of his mother, Amar also faces up to the fact that he and Joshua have some unaddressed issues about their cultural differences. With the support of his fiercely loyal friends and his new therapist, Fiona, Amar will see whether he can reconcile the Muslim Bangladeshi-side of his identity with his Western British side, and live his life the way he deserves. Funny, smart, poignant and generous, Tufayel Ahmed’s début novel is a coming-of-age story like no other and marks the arrival of an exceptionally talented new voice. Both heart-breaking and hilarious, it smashes stereotypes and deftly explores intersecting iden- tities in the LGBTQ and British South Asian communities in contemporary Britain. Rights: World English: Lake Union *key title 2022 Translation: Andrew Nurnberg Associates Film and Television: Available (handled by Jonathan Clowes Ltd) Jacqueline Bublitz Before You Knew My Name Jacqueline 'Rock' Bublitz is a writer, feminist, and arachnophobe, who lives between Melbourne, Australia and her hometown on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island. She wrote her debut novel Before You Knew My Name after spending a summer in New York, where she hung around morgues and the dark corners of city parks (and the human psyche) far too often. She is now working on her second novel, where she con- tinues to explore the grand themes of love, loss and connection. This is not just another novel about a dead girl. When she arrived in New York on her 18th birthday carrying noth- ing but $600 cash and a stolen camera, Alice Lee was looking for a fresh start. Now, just one month later, she is the city's latest Jane Doe, an unidentified murder victim. Ruby Jones is also trying to start over; she travelled halfway around the world only to find herself lonelier than ever. Until she finds Al- ice's body by the Hudson River. From this first, devastating encoun- ter, the two women form an unbreakable bond. Alice is sure that Ruby is the key to solving the mystery of her life - and death. And Ruby - struggling to forget what she saw that morning - finds herself unable to let Alice go. Not until she is given the ending she deserves. Before You Knew My Name doesn't ask whodunnit. Instead, this pow- erful, hopeful novel asks: Who was she? And what did she leave be- hind? The answers might surprise you. ‘The most wonderful book. Unusual, beautiful, feminist, gripping, deserves to win prizes.

When Rosie and Jules discover a ground-breaking clinical trial that enables two women to have a female baby, they jump at the chance to make history. Fear-mongering politicians and right-wing movements are quick to latch on to the controversies surrounding Ovum-to- Ovum (o-o) technology and stoke the fears of the public. What will happen to the numbers of little boys born? Is there a sinis- ter conspiracy to eradicate men at play? In this toxic political climate, Jules and Rosie try to hide their baby from scrutiny. But when the news of Rosie’s pregnancy is leaked to the media, their relationship is put under a micro- scope and they’re forced to question the loyalty of those closest to them, and battle against a tirade of hate that threatens to split them apart… Rights: UK and Commonwealth: Dialogue Books / Little, Brown (2018) Germany: Atrium Verlag Korean: Hans Media Inc.

Now, with only an abandoned golden retriever for company, she must travel through burning cities, avoiding rotting corpses and ravenous rats on a final journey to discover if she really is the last sur- viving person on earth.

  • JUST ANNOUNCED Gruff Rhys + London Contemporary Orchestra
    JUST ANNOUNCED Gruff Rhys + London Contemporary Orchestra Wednesday 12 September 2018 / Barbican Hall / 19:30 Tickets £17.50 – £25.00 plus booking fee Iconic Welsh musician and artist Gruff Rhys appears at the Barbican, joined by the London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO), to perform material from his forthcoming album Babelsberg – released on 8 June on Rough Trade. This record is his sixth solo outing and second release on Rough Trade since 2007’s Candylion. Babelsberg was originally recorded in 2016, but the songs were put into hibernation until additional scores were added by composer Stephen McNeff and performed by the National Orchestra of Wales, eighteen months later. The record focuses on misplaced optimism with Rhys noting the Tower of Babel as an inspiration, stating of his thought-process ‘people building towers to reach an idea of heaven (but maybe creating a kind of hell)’.The evening will also feature material from Rhys’ celebrated back catalogue. Rhys’ numerous creative endeavours, atop his work in Super Furry Animals and as a solo artist, includes electro-pop act Neon Neon. It was with Neon Neon that Rhys last appeared as part of the Barbican contemporary music programme at Village Underground in 2013. As a collaborator Rhys has recorded and performed with Gorillaz, Mogwai, Manic Street Preachers and many more. For his concert in the Barbican Hall he will team up with LCO, an ensemble that has worked with Radiohead, Frank Ocean, and last performed at the Barbican in March of this year alongside John Cale.
