Imogen is Reading and Watching the World: On Books, Film, Art & More

I'm a UK-based editor for a major publisher. I'm making it my off-duty duty to experience FIVE books, FIVE films, art, TV, music and food from every country in the world (where feasible). See drop down menus for my progress.

Book Review – The View From Down Here: Life as a Young Disabled Woman by Lucy Webster

A memoir of life as a disabled woman in a society that remains structurally ableist and sexist

Travelling while Black: Essays Inspired by a Life on the Move by Nanjala Nyabola (Kenya)

Billed by the author as “not a travel memoir”, this is also a polemic about the injustices of migration policy and racism

Wars of the Interior by Joseph Zárate (Peru): Review no 150

A call for action to curb the ill-use of both people and the natural world in Peru.

Review no 107: On Time and Water by Andri Snaer Magnason (Iceland)

Uncomfortable read on climate change in Iceland and the likelihood of impending environmental disaster
