'I cannot think of a time in living memory when this book would
have been more urgent or more necessary' Sarah Perry, Sunday Times
bestselling author of The Essex Serpent 'There are some books which
are necessary and there are some which are enjoyable and heart
wrenching and wonderful; this is all of these things. A book to
give to everyone you love' Daisy Johnson, Man Booker shortlisted
author of Everything Under It doesn't take much familiarity with
the news to see that the world has become a more hate-filled place.
In Others, a group of writers explore the power of words to help us
to see the world as others see it, and to reveal some of the
strangeness of our own selves. Through stories, poems, memoirs and
essays, we look at otherness in a variety of its forms, from the
dividing lines of politics and the anonymising forces of city life,
through the disputed identities of disability, gender and
neurodiversity, to the catastrophic imbalances of power that stands
in the way of social equality. Whether the theme is a casual act of
racism or an everyday interaction with someone whose experience
seems impossible to imagine, the collection challenges us to
recognise our own otherness to those we would set apart as
different. Profits from this book will be donated to Stop Hate UK,
which works to raise awareness of hate crime and encourage its
reporting, and Refugee Action, which provides advice and support to
refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. Contributors include: Leila
