Book cover for The Tidal Zone
I looked at my fifteen-year-old daughter. Wouldn’t England be an utterly different country if we didn’t let people talk crap just because they’re posh blokes who write books?

Ece Temelkuran
“The spectre of alternative truth – highly organised, large-scale lies – that haunts the establishment today was heralded by the normalisation of shamelessness.”
Ece Temelkuran, How to Lose a Country: The 7 Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship

“Walls look like order; but more often than not a wall stands at the precise fulcrum of an imbalance in society. Most walls are only necessary as a means of defending the resources of those that have them from those that lack them. In this way, though they present themselves as mechanisms of security, they are in fact tools of oppression.”
Nick Hayes, The Book of Trespass: Crossing the Lines that Divide Us

Nino Haratischwili
“Someone who needs a veil, an object, even one made of silk, between themselves and the world is afraid of life. They’re afraid to experience things, to really feel them. And I think life is far too short and far too wonderful not to really look at it, not to really grab it, not to really live it.”
Nino Haratischwili, The Eighth Life

Inua Ellams
“She asked why it happens? Keeps happening? What exact regime teaches males to take what isn’t given? What riles them?”
Inua Ellams, The Half-God of Rainfall: A Powerful Epic Poem of Yoruba Deities and Greek Mythology Across the Ages

“There are boundaries in nature. There are rivers, forests, escarpments, ravines and mountain ranges; there are cellulose walls. But these boundaries are in fact areas of transaction, semi-permeable membranes. The notion that a perimeter should be impenetrable is a human contrivance alone.”
Nick Hayes, The Book of Trespass: Crossing the Lines that Divide Us
