We publish books that matter — narrative and literary nonfiction on important topics, and the best of local, international, and translated fiction.

This September, we’re excited to share two bold fiction debuts and three fascinating nonfiction titles: a woman forging her identity outside of marriage, fearless women in the shadowy echelons of Mexico, a thrilling investigation into the most dangerous arms dealer, critical insights into the nature of global inequality, and a grown-up conversation about how adults treat children.

Diving, Falling is a wickedly wry and exhilarating Australian debut novel of a woman’s life beginning after her husband’s death. Kylie Mirmohamadi deftly examines grief and betrayal, female autonomy, and ultimately joy in a reckoning of personal identity. Reservoir Bitches is a linked collection of gritty, streetwise, and darkly funny fiction from Mexican sociologist Dahlia de la Cerda. Each story delves into the harsh realities of thirteen women as they fight, sew, skirt, cheat, cry, and lie their way through life. 

The Chinese Phantom charts the thrilling investigation spanning decades to track down the world’s most dangerous arms dealer. In doing so, the authors discover the reality of modern warfare and international espionage. Nature, Culture, and Inequality is the latest work from economist Thomas Piketty scrutinising the nature of inequality in society: how it manifests and how to solve it. And lastly, It’s Not Fair is a thorough, thought-provoking, and passionately argued call to stop viewing children as less than adults and start fighting for their rights to be taken seriously.
