Relegated
For fans of Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham, this rollicking travel memoir by a middle-aged Midwesterner is a hilarious and heartfelt journey through the United Kingdom, its football clubs, and the rich traditions of English football culture. Relegation, the devastating consequence English football teams face when they underperform, is something Todd Smith kept seeing in his own life. He grew up surrounded by soccer: his father was the head athletic trainer for the Minnesota Kicks of the 70s-era North American Soccer League, and Todd played into college. But while his family life was happy after that, his professional life didn’t go the way of his dreams. He spent two decades working tirelessly in blue-collar jobs while trying to break through as a writer. He often felt discouraged, like he’d never really made it, like he himself had been demoted to a lower league. In Relegated, Todd embarks on a trip of personal and professional discovery. Looking for a change and a chance to write about something that really matters to him, he takes off for a multi-month, immersive expedition through the world and culture of English football. He visits not only the best clubs but also the most out of the way and forgotten ones. In these places, like the Old Spotted Dog Ground in East London, the port town of Grimsby (once voted the worst city in England), and Arbroath on the north coast of Scotland, he begins to understand what it means to be a “true” supporter of this historic and cherished game. He meets pub owners, groundskeepers, fan club organizers, and professional and amateur players who show him a deeper love of the sport. He learns how communities rally around a club, how much joy and suffering they can take, and how football clubs—even the lesser-known ones—can bond people together in memories that last a lifetime. A heartwarming account featuring pints, meat pies, a rainbow of team scarves and banners, and some very colorful slang, Relegated is the story of a man looking to transform himself while discovering the true meaning of English football.

Zralá, co hodně žrala
Soubor fejetonů a reportáží ze života ženy, která už dávno pochopila, že existují dva druhy lidí: ti vymyšlení, kterým jde život podle plánu… a pak my ostatní. Autorka se s odzbrojující upřímností a sebeironií probíjí světem, kde se děti umějí proměnit v neslyšící, neviditelné i nezvěstné tvory, osud má smysl pro humor hraničící s šikanou, muži mohou žrát, a přitom zrát, a romantika končí ve chvíli, kdy zjistíte, že petlička je místo na ložnicových dveřích omylem namontovaná na dveřích pokoje vaší puberťačky. Tahle kniha je pro všechny, co by si občas dali mokrý hadr na zavařenou hlavu nebo jím někoho přetáhli, ale místo toho zvolí léčbu smíchem. Pro všechny, kdo vědí, že život není jednoduchý, ale když už se s námi pere, měli bychom z toho vyrazit aspoň dobrou historku.

Lifelines
*WINNER OF THE ANGLO-HELLENIC LEAGUE'S RUNCIMAN AWARD 2026Longlisted for the RSL Ondaatje Prize‘Magical... A book that will refresh your soul.’ Carol Drinkwater, author of The Olive Farm___ THE TRUE STORY OF A COURAGEOUS LEAP INTO A NEW LIFE (moved this to be top of descript) In 2000, burnt out by city living, Julian Hoffman and his wife Julia took a bold step: they left everything behind and moved to Prespa in northern Greece – a remote landscape of vast lakes, snow-capped mountains and stone villages.

Rope
Language is the labyrinth we're enmeshed in, and any line of exploration we think is leading us out only adds a further strand to the entanglement. Rope presents an alluring and provocative array of insights as it follows a mind on the move, ever curious and restlessly making connections. Nuggets of wisdom, snippets of anecdote and choice quotations are collected here, signposted by suggestive shoulder notes. Together they form a kind of contemporary commonplace book, accumulating with associative loops and echoes. Across three prose sections, Maurice Riordan knots together strands including scientific inquiry, colour theory and AI, philosophy, ethics and psychoanalysis. There are instructive revelations about the art of poetry, about all literature - whether the 'folly of literary ambition' or the 'sinuous garland of plagiarism' - gleaned from a lifetime of reading and writing. The middle section delves into the author's personal history, evoking a childhood in rural Cork - 'I was born into a horse-drawn candlelit world' - and a 'new self' forged in fatherhood. Riordan is an intimate and jocular narrator throughout, calling upon everyone from Shakespeare to Schrödinger, Sappho to Siri in the shaping of these piquant and unforgettable discoveries.
On Witness and Respair
The collected creative nonfiction of a singular American writer, Jesmyn Ward, including widely shared classics, three never-before-published speeches, and an introductory essay. Respair (noun, obsolete), fresh hope after despair. From the two-time National Book Award winner and New York Times bestselling author Jesmyn Ward, this collection of essays documents more than a decade of work in the life of a singular writer often lauded as 'the heir apparent to Toni Morrison' (LitHub). Beginning with her upbringing in a multigenerational household in rural Mississippi, the cradle of both her youth and her gift for storytelling, Ward brings her keen wisdom and hauntingly lyrical prose to a range of topics, following in her grandmother Dorothy’s footsteps when she promises always to 'Tell it straight. Tell it all.'True to her word, in these pages Ward contemplates the writers and novels of her youth and adulthood — the transformative power of discovering Octavia Butler as a twenty-something, the mirror that Richard Wright’s novels held up to her own childhood, and of course, her lifelong love for Toni Morrison. Ward ruminates on her approach to both fiction and life, reflecting on the power of the novel, how to raise a Black son in an era of rising divisiveness and cruelty, as well as her own personal tragedies — including the titular essay of the collection, which tells the story of her partner’s sudden death on the eve of the COVID-19 epidemic. Every bit as piercing and moving as her fiction, On Witness and Respair is a testament to Ward’s powers as one of America’s finest living writers and is a monument to hope, beauty, and personal and collective resilience. PRAISE FOR JESMYN WARD:'One of the most important writers in America today' Ann Patchett'Ward writes like a dream: a real dream, uneasy, vivid and deep as the sea' The Times'Takes the territory made so familiar by writers such as William Faulkner... and reclaims it' Financial Times'Jesmyn is, simply, the best of us' Ta-Nehesi Coates
