Discover the man behind the double helix…

Francis Crick was a restless, relentless thinker, as fascinated by Beat poetry and psychedelics as the genetic meaning of life and the inner workings of the brain. Yet for all his drive, he was galvanised by collaboration: with Jim Watson on DNA, with artists in Cambridge and California, and with his wife Odile, who drew the figure of the double helix that illuminated his most famous discovery. It was his debates and conflicts with these collaborators that powered a mind in motion.

Meticulously researched and shot through with insight and electrifying detail, Matthew Cobb reveals the man who changed our view of life forever. Crick is the first major biography of one of the twentieth century’s most exciting minds.

Comment below if you’re interested in a proof #Crick: A Mind in Motion – from DNA to the Brain by Matthew Cobb, out in hardback this November.

Wisdom is central to a meaningful life. It gives us perspective, reveals knowledge and guides our path. Without it, our best qualities become our worst: courage turns to foolhardiness, self-discipline to cruelty, justice to empty moralising. We all aspire to be wise - but wisdom is earned.

#WisdomTakesWork by @ryanholiday publishes today!

In this fourth and final instalment of his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday uncovers tried and true methods for cultivating wisdom. Drawing on lessons from heroes across history, including Marcus Aurelius, Abraham Lincoln, Maya Angelou and Joan Didion, he shows how to keep an open mind in times of division and disruption; to listen more than we talk; to think with nuance and ruthlessly question our own beliefs. Through cautionary figures like Elon Musk, he shows how dangerous intelligence can be without wisdom - and how we can all escape today’s traps of tribalism, certainty and self-righteousness.

Are you open to listening? Are you willing to question? Are you here to learn? Wisdom is work. But it’s worth it.

László Krasznahorkai wins the Nobel Prize in Literature 2025

Huge congratulations to László Krasznahorkai, who has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 2025.

The Academy cited the 71-year-old’s “compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art”. Congratulations also to Peter Straus and Colm Tóibín whose visionary publishing brought him to their Tuskar Rock list. Tóibín says “he has elevated the novel form and is to be ranked among the great European novelists”.

A towering figure in contemporary fiction, Krasznahorkai was born in Gyula, Hungary, in 1954 and has long been celebrated for his hypnotic prose and visionary scope. His many other accolades include the 2019 National Book Award for Translated Literature for Baron Wenckheim’s Homecoming, the 2015 Man Booker International Prize for lifetime achievement and the 2024 Prix Formentor for lifetime achievement. Several of his most famous novels, including Satantango and The Melancholy of Resistance, were turned into films by the director Béla Tarr.

We celebrate this historic achievement and look forward to readers discovering (or rediscovering) one of literature’s most fearless voices. Congratulations once again to László Krasznahorkai!
