Emily Benet’s diary reveals
more about Britain’s current
climate than diamante fittings might
suggest
 Shoppers,
suitors and chandeliers make up Emily
Benet’s comic world. Selling
light bulbs in her mother’s London
shop conceals her burning ambition
to become a writer. Till-side accounts
of the general public’s desire
for retail therapy and light switches
form the backdrop to Benet’s
well-lit tour of the credit crunch,
as the shop faces closure and the real
life transition from retail assistant
to published writer all comes true,
with some salsa dancing thrown in for
good measure. All coming in December
…
A
message from Griff Rhys Jones
Griff Rhys Jones
says:
“Support the
good work here. Don’t let Salt
fall. If the recession is going to
take things down, let it be motor manufacturers,
let it be bad banks, let it be chains
of fast food restaurants. We can lose
a few of them, but we don't have enough
small independent and daring publishers
like Salt. I think I can be a little
more forthright than Chris and say ‘Just
six books’. Buy dozens why don’t
you? It’s a great list. And apparently
you will help the economy in many subtle
ways too complicated for studious folk
like us.”

Restricted View —
the colourful and highly anticipated
debut collection from the award
winning young poet and journalist
Olivia Cole
 From
London to New York and Italy, she takes
readers on a journey as public as it
is private. Like Mr Chatterbox, the
gossip columnist who makes things up,
it’s impossible to know where
the poet’s true feelings lie:
in her poems about herself, or in the
cast of intriguing characters that
she brings to life. The view, encompassing
art and history as well as the vivid
chaos and cluttered beauty of city
life, is as vivid and tantalizing as
it is restricted.
From the writer of Dr Who,
this publication coincides with the
release of Paul Magrs’ BBC
audio books that bring back Tom Baker
in the lead role
 Twelve
years after Paul Magrs’ first
collection, these twelve stories take
their cues from glimpses of real life,
but spin into tales that are fabular,
funny, moving and sometimes unsettling.
In carefully and gradually putting
these best stories together, the author
realised that they are streaked through
with pathos and an urgent need to rescue
and preserve people and voices before
they inevitably vanish. All of these
pieces are about rescuing characters,
places, moments and ideas from the
brink of being forgotten.
Muñoz’s book has received
tremendous critical acclaim across
the US (including the New
York Times Book Review) and was a finalist in
the International Frank O’Connor
Short Story Prize
 Manuel
Muñoz's dazzling second collection
finds the author returning, once again,
to the small towns of California's
Central Valley. Set in a neighborhood
with characters whose lives often intersect
with each other, The
Faith Healer of Olive Avenue offers
ten stories about a wide range of lives:
a mother coping with a mortally injured
son after his motorcycle accident;
a single father returning from San
Francisco and attempting a reconciliation
with an estranged sister; a young woman
trying to provide safe haven to her
cousin fleeing a vicious boyfriend;
and a teenager who sees himself in
the trials of the town's most-gossiped-about
resident. How these characters cross
paths reveal a neighborhood shaped
by misunderstandings and long-held
secrets, and show how a community can
be both embracing and unforgiving,
revealing a truth about the nature
of home: you always live with its history.
Elegant, intelligent, charming
and memorable, these poems reinvent
the pastoral for dark times, crossing
the contemporary English landscape
from the city to provincial towns
and villages
 Meet
botanists, bastards, predators and
prayers, the feckless and the dead,
a lecherous Polish priest and Prospero
as a game old bird, cigar in hand,
mourning the proliferation of oiks
like you. Pop in for a drink at the
pub of the rural damned, dodge deranged
farmers and deluded incomers, and make
for the county town with its closed
cinema and publicly-owned Scotch eggs.
Find an eyeball in a wooden box. Discover
the moral character of sand and gravel,
play a quick hand of piquet and lie
awake all night listening to the Dark
shagging in the garden of a city terrace.
The poems in The Corner of Arundel
Lane and Charles Street are original
and allusive, serious and funny. Their
wit and charm plot new routes through
familiar landscapes.
