Inklings – serie

Two million people in the UK live with sight loss, and many more worldwide. Yet the general population knows very little about the day-to-day life of the blind, who must move through a world not designed with them in mind, from city planning and technology, to pop culture and education. What’s more, blind people often fall off the pages of our history books, despite being some of the most prolific figures in their fields.In Blind Spot, Maud Rowell challenges readers to think differently about what they may take for granted, carrying them on a whirlwind tour through time and space - from Japanese tube stations to the 18th century museum - to showcase what the world looks like for someone who does not see. She offers practical insights based on her own experiences, as well as spotlighting incredible blind pioneers - explorers, artists, scientists, and more - through history and the current day, unearthed through her own research and interviews.In educating us about the realities of sight loss, Maud shows us how to be aware of our own blind spots, offering the knowledge needed to become better, more tolerant members of diverse communities. Society needs to support everyone - it's time we caught up.

In the UK, around one in six men will experience some form of sexual violence. Many of these men who experience sexual abuse are dismissed, only brought up as the butt of a joke, an exception to the rule or, perhaps at worst, are used as a rhetorical tool against female victims. Conversations on sexual violence have understandably focused on women’s voices and experiences, with data indicating that women are still the majority of victims and not enough is being done to prevent this violence. As most perpetrators of this violence against women are men, it becomes almost easy to mistake that male survivors stories are exceptions or irrelevances. The fact is that we share a world and our experiences are closely interwoven.Sons and Others challenges misconceptions and misrepresentations of sexual violence against men across media and society and offers a new way of seeing and understanding these men in our lives, asking how the violence they experience affects us all.

When you think of ‘gambling’ you might think of Vegas casinos, betting shops and football flutters but the risk of gambling is embedded in numerous corners of popular culture that many of us consume. By considering the concept of ‘soft gambling’, No Dice asks how we could possibly link the Pokémon Trading Card Game with gambling. Can we compare Netflix to a night at the theatre? When does fictional gambling within video games go too far with their infamous loot boxes? Does such risk affect everyone or are socio-economic divides driving further inequality?No Dice explores the messy world of gambling and risk that we encounter regularly, from childhood through adulthood, considering if it is worth the risk and if we even know what risks we might be taking.

Speak Still confronts colonial silencing by asking out loud: why do non-native speakers of English feel estranged from the English language, despite having known it since childhood? Is it possible for us to own this silence? If so, how can we find our eloquence from our experience of speechlessness? How can we bring the foreign language home?Blending personal narrative and cultural criticism, Speak Still takes Tong’s bilingual experience in Hong Kong and the UK as a point of departure and reflects on the meaning of language, selfhood, and belonging. Through poignant observations of everyday life as it is experienced between languages, Tong conceptualises a possibility to communicate and connect beyond words: by reclaiming silence as an interlocutor that interrupts cultural homogeneity and creates space for the unheard.Speak Still shows that this silence, indeed, speaks volumes.

Ancient Greece was rich with stories of queer love and gender- fluid identity—but what can these ancient stories tell us about our contemporary world? Tales as old as antiquity – whether the love affair of Achilles and Patroclus, the genderfluid Tiresias, or the infamous Heracles – are still capturing our imaginations thousands of years later. But was antiquity’s relationship with queer folk more complicated than we now imagine? Historian Jean Menzies dives into the world of queer readings and retellings of Greek mythology, inviting readers to discover the power to be found in remaking these narratives. From explorations of gender and identity across millennia, to celebrating queer love in its many forms, All the Violet Tiaras carves a space for queer stories to be told with all the complexity and tenderness they deserve—and a goddess or two thrown in for good measure.

Sex on screen is unnecessary, gratuitous, and serves no purpose. This is the sentiment on the rise as cinema becomes less and less sexy.Xuanlin Tham counters that sex scenes can open our minds and bodies to the possibility of new futures, and seduce us towards an expanded political imagination. Through The Matrix Reloaded, Lingua Franca and beyond, Revolutionary Desires explores how the form’s intimacies, transgressions, and dedication to pleasure can be uniquely poised to rupture dominant narratives of capitalism and the violences that flow from it.Why is the sex scene, demonised as it is, therefore more politically important and subversive than ever? And how can it power a desire for something more?

School teaches us the myth of Black apathy, savagery, and helplessness, that slavery was inevitable, and that Black people have little power to resist and overcome its consequences. But We Did lays out this idea for what it is: a well-rehearsed lie exchanging snug high-fives with white supremacy. Bringing forth resistance histories that have conveniently been left out and deconstructing the impact misinformation and racist narratives have on society, particularly Black youths, Farukuoye takes readers beyond merely understanding the horrors of slavery and offers tools to challenge these narratives confidently in our own sphere of influence – be it at the dinner table, work, school, with friends or as part of an organisation. But We Did engages in the collective challenge of undoing colonialist systems and imagining a society free of its legacies.

What really goes on behind the scenes in a small book publishing company? After a decade of running the award-winning publisher 404 Ink, McDaid and Jones-Rivera call time on their venture and invite readers into their little corner of the book world.From their promises of “publishing loudly” and public financial transparency to the inevitable pit falls and political upheavals, Publisher Not Found reveals the inspirations, tensions and costs necessary to keep a cultural organisation afloat against an unstable economic backdrop where purse strings are ever-tightening. On the eve of their closure, they make the case for meaningful literary culture support for other institutions across the country before it is too late, and essential platforms and voices are lost.404 Ink’s story comes to an end not with a whimper but with a celebration of their authors and books, exploring what it means to be disruptive and disrupted, for those who seek to find their own place in the industry, shaking up the status quo along the way.

A powerful reappraisal of friendship as one of the most intimate and transformative relationships in our lives.Friendship can be the foundation of our earliest memories and the source of our most formative moments. So why is it often seen as secondary to romantic or familial connection, something we age out of and sacrifice to other relationships? In BFFs, Anahit Behrooz considers female friendship not as something lesser, but as a site of radical intimacy.From the joys of shared coming-of-age stories and sisterhood, through the pain of break-ups and parting of ways, the vast significance and intensity of feeling within our friendships is explored through depictions in the work of Toni Morrison and Elena Ferrante, Booksmart and Grey’s Anatomy, Insecure, The Virgin Suicides and beyond.

Anthropologist Naomi Westerman was studying death rituals around the world—when her whole family died. Upon losing those closest to her, Naomi Westerman saw that death was more than just an abstract academic concept; it was a deeply painful and personal experience. She became fascinated by loss and grief, and hoped to cope and demystify death by turning to history, art, and pop culture. Happy Death Club examines the many faces of death and grief in cultures around the world. From expensive coffins and uncon- ventional burials to horror films and true crime, what does our treatment of death have to tell us about how we live our lives? What makes a “good death”? And who owns our bodies before and after we die? Both meaningful and darkly humorous, this is a frank, curious look at a universal human experience—one we’re often too afraid to talk about—and at what lies beyond.

A candid and confessional cultural investigation into the kinky world of the foot fetish.According to recent research, 1 in 7 people have fantasised about feet at some point in their lives, so why is this kink still often considered taboo? Queer writer and podcaster Adam Zmith dips a toe into the cultural and sexual history of the foot fetish—taking readers from medieval poetry to Renaissance paintings, OnlyFans to Fellow Travelers. Enlightening, erotic, and refreshingly nonjudgmental, Solemates is the rich, messy tale of our obsession with everything below the ankle—and a fascinating expose into what our desires reveal about how we view our bodies and our sexuality.

A riotous look at the intersection of politics, protest, and punk—and what it means to turn to art for survival. Since its inception, punk has defied convention. Angry, unruly, and driven by an anti-establishment ethos, it became a rebellion bound in leather and a fist raised against oppression. Chronicling a brief history of punks at war, Blitzkrieg Bops studies those who have soundtracked resistance—from Stiff Little Fingers protesting the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the South African group National Wake defying apartheid, the Russian protest group Pussy Riot and the Ukrainian feminist punk band Death Pill standing up to Putin, to those fighting for a free Palestine to this day. Through new interviews with these artists and by interrogating the record(s), journalist Alli Patton explores how punk’s charged lyrics and cathartic noise can inspire movements and fuel liberation. Their music challenges corrupt governments, confronts authoritarianism, and fights the establishment—often at great personal risk.

Braiding together memoir and cultural criticism, Hair/Power explores the power, control, and liberation that hair can provide.Growing up as a second-generation Indian immigrant, Kajal Odedra remembers the first time she cut her waist-length hair. It was an act of rage, of defiance, an attempt to push back against societal expectations and regain control. She realised at an early age that hair is never “just hair”: both its presence and absence can have a profound impact. While hair is a powerful form of self-expression, it is also a political battleground, where bodies are policed and normative beauty standards wreak havoc. But who is setting the standards, and how can we dispel these harmful cultural myths?Interspersing intimate anecdotes with intersectional commentary, Hair/Power dives into the origins and cultural significance of hair— from buzz cuts to baldness—exposing the roots of a beauty industry built on discrimination. Ultimately Odedra is able to find self-love, and she shows us how hair can be a powerful tool for activism, community building, and bringing about our shared liberation.

A garment-by-garment exploration of Prince’s singular style and continued influence on contemporary fashion. Not only was Prince a musical genius and one of the greatest artists of all time, he was a fashion icon, a trailblazer devoted to the art of dressing. Lifelong fan and fashion historian Casci Ritchie assembles a greatest-hits compilation of the best pieces in Prince’s wardrobe—from ornate ear cuff down to bespoke heel—telling each garment’s incredible origin story and showing how his tastes disrupted hegemonic, heteronormative, and Black masculinities. On His Royal Badness considers Prince as a visionary artist and fearless provocateur who revered fashion and self-expression, and whose sartorial brilliance continues to shape contemporary culture. Unaffiliated with the Prince Estate.

From pop comedy to cultural landmark, discover how one remarkable sitcom redefined LGBTQ+ representation on our screens with playful humour and radical optimism. Love That Journey For Me takes a joyful deep dive into the cultural phenomenon of Schitt’s Creek, exploring how a small-town sitcom grew into a defining moment in queer representation and contemporary television. Emily Garside unpacks the show’s smart blend of classic sitcom DNA, meta references, and self-aware humour, revealing how Dan Levy and his team reshaped LGBTQ+ storytelling—from the town’s inclusive world-building to the show’s celebratory nods to Cabaret. She shows how Schitt’s Creek subverted expectations, offering a romance and a community rooted in acceptance, optimism, and genuine emotional depth. Part sharp analysis, part heartfelt tribute, this book celebrates why Schitt’s Creek became a landmark series—and why, to borrow David Rose’s words, it truly needs to be celebrated.

Behind every headline about exiled refugees, do we remember the human breaking point—when survival outweighs belonging? When stories of displacement reach us, they often arrive flattened into statistics: waves, flows, numbers too large to hold. The Last Day Before Exile restores depth and voice to those figures, returning the story of migration to the crisis moment when everything is still undecided. Across borders and continents—from the Gaza Strip, Pakistan, Morocco, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, and Ukraine—Selin Bucak follows writers, artists, and professionals as they confront the question that changes a life forever: stay, or leave. These are stories of fear and fracture, but also of reinvention and fragile hope. Bucak traces the hours before departure, when home is still tangible and exile not yet real. By centring lived experience over headlines, she invites readers to witness what displacement truly costs—and what it demands—when borders and war leave no neutral ground.

What does it mean to seek pleasure in a world that denies your humanity?Long misunderstood and often condemned, hedonism has been central to how queer communities have gathered, survived, and imagined new ways of living together. Through a queer lens, pleasure is not excess or escape, but a vital, sustaining force — what Audre Lorde called a “power for change.”Across the world today, queer people continue to face rising hostility, inequality, and exclusion, shaped by intersecting social, political and environmental crises. In this context, the pursuit of joy, connection and desire remains both urgent and radical.Drawing on histories of love and its many forms — from ancient philosophies to contemporary experience — Roses for Hedone invites us to rethink hedonism as a shared, transformative practice: a way to honour the past, build community in the present, and imagine more hopeful futures, together.

Flip the Script showcases some of the best rappers currently making music in the UK. It has taken a significant amount of time for women to get recognition in the genre, even though there have been phenomenal women in hip hop since its beginnings in the Bronx in the 1970s - but why did we take so long in the UK? Flip the Script gets to know the women who have paved the way, the successes and experiences of those that shape the thriving scene we have today. Arusa goes in depth with a number of female rappers who are making waves right now to find out about their relationships with hip hop, why they were attracted to the scene, what their thoughts are on the future of the genre and whether or not they feel a sense of belonging. Using her own research, and with reference to pioneers and critical theory, she explores hip hop’s history of misogyny and how women have traditionally been looked over by their peers, and celebrates the brilliant icons who have made this one of the most exciting genres to be part of. A must read for fans of music, feminism, and culture.

Prince was devoted to the art of dressing. A multi-million selling artist and musical trailblazer, he used fashion as an added storytelling tool. On His Royal Badness explores how Prince’s distinctive style disrupts hegemonic, heteronormative and Black masculinities, and considers his own reverence for fashion and self-expression.As a lifelong fan and academic specialising in the field, Casci Ritchie believes Prince’s transgressive acts of dress warrant further exploration and acknowledgement within fashion, and here she begins that journey, from ornate ear cuff down to bespoke heel. Taking core pieces from his wardrobe, she embarks on a greatest hits compilation of how the simplest pieces can tell the most incredible stories, and how they act as their own marker for Prince’s career and surrounding cultural impact.Fearless in style and experimentation, Prince’s impact upon contemporary fashion deserves a closer look and this is just that.Unaffiliated with the Prince estate.

Love That Journey For Me dives deep into the cultural sensation of Canadian comedy drama Schitt’s Creek. Considering the fusion of existing sitcom traditions, references and tropes, this Inkling analyses the nuance of the show and its surrounding cultural and societal impact as a queer revolution.By discussing how the show reshapes LGBTQ+ narratives from the crafting of the town itself, and celebratory influences including Cabaret, to how writer creator Dan Levy utilised and subverted expectations throughout his work, Emily Garside will showcase how one TV show became a watershed moment in queer representation and gay relationships on screen. Part analysis of Schitt’s Creek’s importance, part homage to a cultural landmark, this is a show that – in the words of David Rose himself – needs to be celebrated. This book is that celebration. This book is unofficial, and unaffiliated with Schitt’s Creek and its brand.
