The Sellout had been widely turned down by UK publishers – until Oneworld Publishing's Juliet Mabey was alerted to it. Today, the satirical novel is the 2016 Man Booker Prize for Fiction.

The Sellout tackles the difficult topics of race, history and politics. And through a young, black watermelon grower, we see the changing racial landscape of a fictional American town. And Paul Beatty's witty, satire lends the entire situation an air of hilarity without making light of these serious topics.

    Christopher Davidson exposes the dark side of Western foreign policy – dragging many disturbing facts out into the light for the first time. Most shocking for us today is his assertion that US intelligence agencies continue to regard the Islamic State, like al-Qaeda before it, as a strategic but volatile asset to be wielded against their enemies. Provocative, alarming and unrelenting, Shadow Wars demands to be read – now.

    Where else are you going to get some of the best thinkers in one place? Alain de Botton, Malcom Gladwell, Matt Ridley and Steven Pinker band together to question: is humanity approaching a Golden Age, or is the notion of progress an illusion born in the West?

    This may be no Man Booker, but it has hit lists from Buzzfeed, Amazon and Flavourwire.

    Call Private Citizens a gleefully rude comedy of manners, a Middlemarch for Millennials, as it embraces the contradictions of our new century. The novel's four whip-smart narrators are torn between fixing the world and cannibalizing it. In boisterous prose that ricochets between humour and pain, the four estranged friends stagger through the Bay Area's maze of tech start-ups, protestors, gentrifiers, karaoke bars, house parties and cultish self-help seminars, washing up in each other's lives once again.

    A wise and searching depiction of a generation grappling with privilege and finding grace in failure, Private Citizens is as expansively intelligent as it is full of heart.

    By Gaslight is set in Steven Price's rich Victorian world of London, with its gas-lit streets, opium dens, sewers and séance halls, filled with an underworld of spies, blackmailers, cultists, petty thieves and pitiless murderers.
