Description
An anthology of writing from celebrated authors – Marina Warner, Kamila Shamsie, Noam Chomsky, A. L. Kennedy and more – reflecting on experiences of otherness
- 'An impressive cluster of names . . . Otherness is everywhere… and not just in the obvious differences of sex, race and class' New Statesman
- 'A powerful crowdfunded collection, as a group of writers explore the power of words to help us see the world as others see it' Irish Examiner
- 'Another superlative anthology from Unbound . . . an eclectic collection of pieces in which a diverse range of writers explore forms of otherness, and employ their ways with words to encourage us to see beyond ourselves at all times' The Bookseller
- 'A fascinating and challenging collection of work ... I cannot think of a time in living memory when this book would have been more urgent or more necessary' Sarah Perry, 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
- ‘How do we live with the self that we’ve lost, or how do we dignify others with undue self-regard? These are some of the ambitious contemplations examined by the profound, witty and tender accounts in Others’ Daljit Nagra, Forward Prize-winning poet
- 'A rich, thought-provoking collection of writings against hate and in support of harmony; if ever there were a book for our unsettling times, Others is it’ Saba Salman
- 'Others is beautiful and enlightening. As it promised, it takes us into the lives, minds and stories of those whose experiences may well not be our own, it is a call for empathy, a call to understand each other, a call to listen' Robin Ince
