How to Be Both is a novel all about art's versatility. Borrowing from painting's fresco technique to make an original literary double-take, it's a fast-moving, genre-bending conversation between forms, times, truths and fictions. There's a renaissance artist of the 1460s. There's the child of a child of the 1960s. Two tales of love and injustice twist into a singular yarn where time gets timeless, structural gets playful, knowing gets mysterious, fictional gets real - and all life's givens get given a second chance.

Girl meets boy. It's a story as old as time. But what happens when an old story meets a brand new set of circumstances? Ali Smith's remix of Ovid's most joyful metamorphosis is a story about the kind of fluidity that can't be bottled and sold. It is about girls and boys, girls and girls, love and transformation, a story of puns and doubles, reversals and revelations. Funny and fresh, poetic and political, here is a tale of change for the modern world.

Franz Kafka is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most enigmatic geniuses of European literature. What happens when his idiosyncratic imagination meets some of the greatest literary minds writing in English across the globe today? From a future society who ask their AI servants to construct a giant tower to reach God; to a flat hunt that descends into a comically absurd bureaucratic nightmare; to a population experiencing a wave of unbearable, contagious panic attacks, these ten specially commissioned stories are by turns mind-bending, funny, unsettling and haunting.

I 1500-tallets England strejfer en forældreløs pige rundt. Det er mørke tider: epidemier raser, brutalitet og barbari råder. Pigen kommer i lære hos en kvindelig smed, og det er netop smedekunsten og et uventet venskab, der holder hende oppe. Femhundrede år senere har en ny epidemi ramt England og verden. Sandy Gray, en billedkunstner midt i livet, frygter at smitte sin skrøbelige far, der er indlagt efter et slagtilfælde. Derfor vil hun heller ikke se nogen mennesker, hun har i det hele taget besluttet sig for at melde sig ud af samfundet.

Dios había muerto: para empezar. Y el romanticismo había muerto. La gallardía había muerto. La poesía, la novela, la pintura, todas habían muerto, y el arte había muerto. El teatro y el cine habían muerto. La literatura había muerto. Muchísimas cosas habían muerto. Sin embargo, otras no habían muerto, de momento. La vida todavía no había muerto. La revolución no había muerto. La igualdad racial no había muerto. El odio no había muerto.
