Quiver is a book of reckoning, a book of ghosts, a book of lineal fracture and generational fatherlesness. It’s a visceral guide through boyhood into fatherhood. One that yields witness to trauma, erotic shames, brutalities and toxic masculinity, and in so doing, emerges with a speaker beginning to free himself. Patricia Smith said it best: “Quiver will change the way you see.”“floodghost”Mother couldn’t managewhat sated me, so she prayed:sought in silencea substance that’d soothe,something familial with grace.I groaned. Broke bodiesover blacktop’s pane, a bottom-less well of blood. At sevenI smothered a frog and fed each legto my quivering sisterlaughed while she choked out its skin. At twelve,I pulled a pistol from underthe vacant shed and shovedits shudder to a schoolboy’s temple, teased while he wept in his piss.And yet all along a Psalm, a satchelof prayer: song. Mother makingcontracts with the sky, while Itore its pages to light a fire, warmmy hands around it. Radiant blue. Redfrom a faraway pine.

Distributary picks up where the speaker from Quiver left off and delves deeper in that speaker’s concerns and fears around fatherhood, cultural violence and his daughter’s illness. It is a book of sirens and ghosts, of time collapse. How many moments tangle and spark in the waking moments of our lives. It houses a grainy melancholia, paradigms of grief. Houses hope.

For eight years between 1998 and 2006, Luke Johnson wrote a regular column as 'The Maverick' in the Sunday Telegraph. His short, pithy essays tackled subjects ranging from rich lists to bankrupt companies, from high finance to investment techniques, from philanthropy to trophy wives, bringing a practitioner's eye to the commercial world and the people in it. The Maverick quickly developed a cult following among readers who wanted to understand the blunt truth about investment, entrepreneurs, business history, and corporate life.This book brings together 84 of the best articles, with updates, in a single volume. What makes them unique is that Luke Johnson is not just a first-class writer, he is also one of Britain's most successful entrepreneurs. He made his name with PizzaExpress, has run and owned businesses in many different sectors, and now takes stakes in fast-growing businesses through his company, Risk Capital Partners. He is also Chairman of Channel 4. The diversity of his experience enables him to write with insight and perspective about the very serious matter of making and losing money.If you are in business, you will find The Maverick entertaining, informative and inspiring. If you are not in business, you will discover what makes business people tick, the hurdles they have to overcome to succeed, and the substantial benefits they bring to society.
