Animal Languages by Eva Meijer

Did you know dolphins and parrots call each other by their names, or that bats indulge in a bit of gossip? If you did, congratulations, for everyone else, Animal Languages is a fascinating insight into a universe of communication that we don’t understand between the non-human creatures that inhabit our world.

The Captain and the Glory by Dave Eggers

The Captain – inexplicably confident, garish but with a profound lack of expertise and experience (sound familiar?) guides a merry band of con men and petty thieves as he takes charge of the Glory. A caustic and hilarious satire in a style that only Dave Eggers can pull off. See Penguin for more. The Captain and the Glory

Pet by Akwaeke Emezi

Imagine that you’ve created a world without monsters. This is the so-called reality that Jam has grown up with until she encounters Pet, a creature made from horns, colours, claws and a drop of Jam’s blood. For more details, visit Faber & FaberPet

TO:KY:OO by Liam Wong

You only have to look at the luminescence reflected in the rain-slicked lanes of Tokyo on the front cover of this book to know that you’re in for a visually sumptuous ride. A meditation on artistic composition that gives the viewer a unique, nocturnal insight into this fabled metropolis. Via Thames & Hudson. TO-KY-OO
