The Future of Novels in the AI Age

Beautiful books you won’t forget
‘All human life needs Salt.’ —Simon Armitage
‘In a dull and conformist publishing landscape, Salt’s list stands out for its rich flavours, colours and accents. In poetry, novels or the short fiction that the imprint champions so well, Salt titles surprise, intrigue and delight. These are books by writers who find their own voice. They deserve readers who go their own way.’ —Boyd Tonkin
