Culture

This month, columnist Anna Cafolla salutes Women in Translation month with a subversive selection of reads from authors including Angela Hui, Sheena Patel and Lynne Tillman.

Chinese might be one of the nation’s favourite takeaways, but it didn’t feel like that when Hui grew up above one in rural South Wales. Here, she talks about the new book and what she gets up to beyond the confines of her stovetop.

From cutting heartbreak to mediaeval grossness and real-life cult reporting, Anna Cafolla recommends the titles that’ll keep you hooked, poolside or elsewhere.

Daniels’ emotional sci-fi epic is already one of A24's most critically acclaimed flicks. Fancy some more bonkers, mindbending, multiverse-themed cinema? Here’s what to watch next.

UK cities are changing and social housing is disappearing from their skylines in the name of regeneration. Author Nabil Al-Kinani has published a radical manual for estates to buy their blocks and preserve the ends.

Sick of doomscrolling? Anna Cafolla selects the juiciest reads to dig into this month, from thrilling erotica and pop culture deep dives to explorations of New York's seedy underbelly – you name it, we’ve got it.
