Impossible Books 10–20

More books I may never write

I started ‘publishing’ the ‘books’ I may never write in March 2015. It’s been a wonderful, creative and liberating experience — particularly collaborating with Gus Condeixa to produce wonderful covers for the books. I’m very grateful to those who have followed the project and commented on it.

I plan to continue, but having published 20 books, I think it’s time to take a few weeks break for the summer. After I had published 10 books, I posted a recap of the first twenty here. So, here’s a recap of the second 10:

First of all, a reminder of the rationale for the whole series:

My Impossible Books: An Introduction

And here’s the rest, in the order in which they were published:

Glimpsed: The Irresistible Lure of the Ephemeral

Neither One Thing Nor The Other: The Problems and Potential of The Medium

Touch the World: The Pleasures of Handball

Too Hot or Too Cold: A History of Inappropriate Dressing

The superfluous percussionist

The World In A Grain Of Sand: How handrails, wafers and other trivial things explain everything

Small Worlds: The Struggle for Diversity

The Dark Side of the Sabbath: When Rest Becomes Work

Soft Drink Planet: A Non-Alcoholic Odyssey

A Book Of Very Very Very Short Walks
