Max Porter - Grief is the Thing with Feathers

STOCKHOLM | Thursday 5th November at 19:00 (ticketed event)

We are super excited about this visit in the Stockholm shop – this author’s first novel completely blew our socks off! His name is Max Porter, and he’s a senior editor at Granta Books and Portobello Books. He previously managed an independent bookshop and won the Young Bookseller of the Year award. We’ve invited him from London to come and discuss his debut novel Grief is the Thing with Feathers.

Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho

By Anna Bark Persson (Blogger) on Wed, 2015-09-23 08:56

Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen ChoSorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho is a difficult book to review, simply because it feels like whatever I write, it will eventually and unavoidably simply collapse into one long list of everything that I love about this novel. To start off and hopefully get it out of the way: Sorcerer to the Crown is a highly atmospheric, beautifully written and wonderfully humorous novel.

Hooray! It’s story time again!
