The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington

I have been accused on more than one occasion of liking only weird depressing books, but I’d like to think that my love of this, the only book by one of the greatest surrealists of the 20th century, proves that I also like books that are just weird. Gleefully anarchic and stubbornly strange– a delightful …

The Hunter and the Old Woman by Pamela Korgemagi

How long has it been since you walked through a lush forest, sipped water from a cool stream, sat on a boulder overlooking a landscape falling away to the ends of the Earth? A long time? Maybe never?

Choral Music: Fear, Rediscovery, and Bookselling: An Essay by 2020 PNBA Award Winner Sharma Shields
