The Late Americans
The author of the Booker-shortlisted Real Life returns with a deeply involving new novel of young men and women at a crossroads
In a university town, a circle of young men and women - Seamus, Fyodor, Ivan, Noah and Fatima - navigate tangled webs of connection while they try to work out what they want, and who they are.
As they test their own desires in a series of relationships, the friends ask themselves and each other- what is the right thing to stake a life on? Work, love, money, dance, poetry? And what does true connection look like, in an age of precarity?

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
