The Boiled in Between is the debut novel by Turner Prize-winning artist Helen Marten, an ambitious literary work full of beauty and sorrow. It is a novel told in the action of persistence and questioning: how the rhythms of a world built upon metaphor and symbolism can collide with relationships personal and domestic.

Helen Marten is an artist based in London. She was included in the 55th and 56th International Venice Biennales and in 2016 won both the Turner Prize and the inaugural Hepworth Prize for Sculpture.

Night Philosophy
Fanny Howe
Published by Divided Publishing, Brussels, 2020, 96 pp., 13.9 × 21.6 cm, English
Price: €13 (Temporarily out of stock)

Night Philosophy is collected around the figure of the child, the figure of the child not just as a little person under the tutelage of adults, but also the submerged one, who knows, who is without power, who doesn’t matter. The book proposes a minor politics that disperses all concentrations of power. Howe chronicles the weak and persistent, those who never assimilate at the cost of having another group to dominate
