‘Slimy with algae and damp earth, the new root growth of a Huon pine rose up and out of the dirt and entered the cord's power socket, intertwining and fusing with the conductor.’

Introduce yourself with three books you love: Reproduction (Louisa Hall) When We Cease to Understand the World (Benjamin Labatut) In Ascension (Martin MacInnes) Honestly, we can’t really choose, so we’ve gone for books written by some of our interviewees from past issues (there are many others).
