ARGONAUT BOOKS

Join us for the launch of Some Things I Do Not Know - a luminous work of mourning, written by our own beloved bookseller, Arthur Allen, following the loss of his best friend to suicide. This is his first publication with Shearsman Books.

Allen explores with fearless honesty the ways in which we carry love and absence forward - into the afterlife and back again. This collection offers both solace and challenge, onstituting a personal and open ritual for how to live on with what we have lost.

This event will take place in the bookshop and be chaired by Jennifer Williams.

"A wholly original account of grief. Amid tragedy, there is also light and humour, and this is when you know you're in the care of a writer who can tell the truth.” - Anna Metcalfe, author of Chrysalis

"Profoundly holy and utterly sacred. The opening sequence honestly left me breathless.” - Andrés N. Ordorica, author of Holy Boys
