An insightful exploration and moving meditation on identity, art, and belonging from one of the most celebrated writers of the last decade. What happens when we begin to consider stories at the margins, when we grant them centrality? How does that complicate our certainties about who we are, as individuals, as nations, as human beings? Through the lens of visual art, literature, film, and the author’s lived experience, Out of the Sun examines Black histories in art, offering new perspectives to challenge us. In this groundbreaking, reflective, and erudite book, two-time Scotiabank Giller Prize winner and internationally bestselling author Esi Edugyan illuminates myriad varieties of Black experience in global culture and history. Edugyan combines storytelling with analyses of contemporary events and her own personal story in this dazzling first major work of non-fiction.

On the Origin of Species (or, more completely, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life),[3] published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology.[4] Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation.

To accompany the Hayward Gallery exhibition of the same name, Booker Prize nominated writer Tom McCarthy edits a unique newspaper about the realities (and unrealities) of London. Patrick Kieller claimed in his 1994 film London that the city had disappeared, lost amongst the sprawling generations of its inhabitants.The city's consciousness has dissipated, its identity vanishing before our eyes. Just as the role of the print newspaper edges closer to the void, McCarthy seeks to explore the current, 'felt' realities of a place in a form that is on the verge of obsolescence.Going beyond the concept of definite roles and functions MIRRORCITY explores and celebrates the themes of reality, identity and the singular dimensions we all live in.A host of artists including Lindsay Seers, Ursula Mayer and Lucky PDF have contributed their texts and images on these themes within the context of the newspaper format - the results are as diverse and open-ended as the city. Contains a full-colour 'weekend style' newspaper magazine insert booklet.A unique conceptual and cerebral artist-led publication, MIRRORCITY will delight, intrigue and engage the intellectual. To accompany an exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, 14 October 2014 - 4 January 2015.
