Next up for the Service95 Book Club… “In 2000, Zadie Smith detonated the books world with White Teeth and has been part of our literary DNA ever since. She’s been compared to everyone from Dickens to Rushdie, which is staggering praise for a debut author barely out of university. This glorious and hilarious intergenerational soap opera of multicultural London spans the 20th century, told through the eyes of the Iqbals and the Joneses, two families you will never forget. It starts with middle-aged big-hearted loser Archie Jones attempting – and failing – to gas himself in his car, stung by a failed first marriage from which all he salvaged was the vacuum cleaner. He meets 19-year-old Clara, a recovering Jehovah’s Witness of Jamaican heritage, at an End of the World party in a North London squat, and life begins again. Archie’s friend Samad Iqbal, who looks a bit like Omar Sharif from a certain angle, is still waiting for his wife to be born when the two men meet in the last days of the Second World War. When Samad and Alsana finally meet at their wedding three decades later, she is more than a match - physically and mentally - for her much older husband. The next generation – twins Millat and Magid Iqbal and Irie Jones – ramp up the volume, pushing their parents to the limit as they challenge their ideas of home and identity. It’s a big, loud, boisterous and fiercely clever book. Reading Zadie play with the multitudes of language on London’s streets, and explore identity, community and the competing pulls of nature and nurture, is an unforgettable experience. No wonder this book became the literary landmark for a generation.” - Dua x Make sure you’re subscribed to the newsletter for the full #MonthlyRead experience, and join the conversation on the @service95bookclub podcast – coming soon.

Happy November from the grey skies of Stockholm. 🍁 There’s something about these grey skies that makes me extra creative and productive. This month brings two great galas I’m hosting, my new book release, my TEDx talk and conversations I’ll be moderating. My speaking tour takes me from a cruise ship to the north and south of Sweden. Somewhere between the stages and the suitcases, there’s a deadline for my next book and a new seed growing. Hard work ahead. Plenty of butterflies, too. Hope to see some of you along the way. Wishing you a November full of warmth, good company and things worth getting out of bed for. 🍂 (Now entering the sauna before my cold plunge) Photo: @anna_vinterfall #happynovember #november #introvert

From Cleveland to the Outer Banks, the cost-of-living crisis that will decide the midterms, in the words of the people living it. "Cooling" inflation sounds like an insult to people whose rent doubled and stayed doubled. When a family is one ordinary bill from the edge, its backup plan is sleeping in the car. People who spent years blaming themselves have started blaming the people in charge. Parents and grandparents are wondering if their children will get to stay in the places they built. This is an electorate that is angry and unconvinced its vote changes anything. In the closest races in the country, it may not matter which candidate has the better plan. It may matter which one people finally believe was listening. Read more at the link in bio. 📸: Joe Raedle/Getty Images
