‘At first, I took you for a charming jewel thief.’

From one of the great storytellers of our time, Miss Lambert Steps Aboard Danger is an exquisite entertainment in which nothing is quite as it seems.

Announcing the new novel from Kazuo Ishiguro, coming 9 March 2027.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

🔈🔈🔈 We’re looking for a Digital Communications Manager, and I want to be clear.

We need a WOMAN who can turn the literary cacophony at @bookbuzzNG into an engaging content calendar. Someone who can dig into our archives, celebrate our past events, and make people hungry for what’s coming next.

Aunty, you have to love books, culture, African stories, deadlines and analytics. We are always thinking of the next thing, and the next thing after that. Work no dey finish, but we promise it is meaningful work.

For efficiency, we don’t mind you using AI. In fact, use it well. But we like women with personality, so we’ll be deeply disappointed if you erase yourself. You might as well erase yourself from the organisation too, innit?

We do a lot of our work on Canva, so you will be lost without it. You MUST know your way around Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.

You’ll be working with a close-knit team of five. You must be able to work independently, and then work easily with others, especially around our festivals.

Basically, we are looking for a magician, but witches are welcome to apply if they can spot typos.

@hm_nde Will check this out. Finding it hard to get a copy of The Feshists. 😒

@brittlepaper @thealdissaward @RogbaPayne Congratulations 🥳

[Sochi Azuh @sochiazuh]

Do you enjoy stories with trickster or rogue characters?

I’ve always been partial to trickster stories. Maybe it’s because they’re often the underdogs — characters who, through mischief, wit, or downright audacity, hold up a mirror to power and expose uncomfortable truths.

[Sochi Azuh @sochiazuh]

@hm_nde It was my pleasure. Please come again.
