New Non-Fiction in January/February 2023

Top picks23rd January 2023

We have two exciting events - both memoirs, incidentally - to pick up among our non-fiction picks for 2023’s opening months: we’re hosting the launches for Don Paterson’s Toy Fights and Fern Brady’s Strong Female Character (which the shop's Taskmaster fans have been loving). Other highlights include Claire Harman’s centennial biography of Katherine Mansfield, All Sorts of Lives; You Are Not Alone, Cariad Lloyd’s accompaniment to her much-loved podcast Griefcast; the final book by Janet Malcolm, Still Pictures, which uses a series of family photographs to construct the author’s life story; and Anaximander, the debut book by superstar physicist Carlo Rovelli (never before translated into English).
