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.
Driven
A Sunday Times bestselling inside look at the ultra-competitive world of Formula One and trailblazer Susie Wolff's 20-year career, taking readers from the driver's seat and the F1 paddock all the way to the future of the sport.
From the moment her parents first sat her in a go-kart, Susie Wolff felt it - the thrill of speed, the spark of something bigger. Her dream of one day racing Formula One cars grew and grew, as did her determination. But Formula One is one of the most mentally and physically gruelling sports in the world. Turning a corner can feel like four times your body weight is pressing against you. You need mental grit and physical heft. And as Susie rose through the ranks of motorsport, one truth became impossible to ignore: she was almost always the only woman on the grid.
Despite challenges, and after years of sacrifice and doubt, Susie became the first woman in more than two decades to take part in a Formula One race weekend. When her racing chapter ended, she realised she wasn't ready to walk away from the sport she loved. And so she turned her mind to first transforming a struggling Formula E team and, later, leading F1 Academy, inspiring young women who have discovered the thrill of speed via Netflix's Drive to Survive, to progress to the highest ranks of Formula 1.
In Driven, Susie lifts the bonnet for the first time on her extraordinary life, including her relationship with her husband Toto. From the driver's seat of the racing car to the heart of the F1 paddock, this is a rare, first-hand view into the inner workings of motorsport at its highest level, told with clarity and grace.
