From James Baldwin and Zora Neale Hurston to Bernadine Evaristo and Caleb Azumah Nelson, we have put together this selection of titles as a celebration of these brilliant author’s lives and work, that have been inevitably permeated by resistance against challenging modes of existing in the world. Here are some of our favorite recent debuts and modern classics that cast a critical eye over an ongoing present that continues to fail to recognize other communities, bodies and love as well as versions of history and cultural myths that bind us all.
