Vertigo
“With wry humor and profound sensitivity, Walsh takes what is mundane and transforms it into something otherworldly with sentences that can make your heart stop. A feat of language.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Joanna Walsh's haunting and unforgettable stories enact a literal vertigo—the feeling that if I fall I will fall not toward the earth but into space—by probing the spaces between things. Waiting for news in a children's hospital, pondering her husband's multiple online flirtations or observing the tourists and locals at a third-world archeological site, her narrator approaches the suppressed state of panic coursing beneath things that are normally tamed by our blunted perceptions of ordinary life. Vertigo is an original and breathtaking book.” (Chris Kraus)
Break.up
A novel in essays that locates a “romance” within the mesh of electronic communication. So I didn't call you: instead I posted a new avatar of myself without my habitual dark glasses. I have learned: an image, any image, is a blind. All avatars give different information, illusions of contact called Telepresence, none of them the real thing. You texted me, 3 am, from some station … As though it made any difference. But it did. —from Break.up In this “novel in essays,” Joanna Walsh simultaneously flees and pursues an ambiguous partner in an affair conducted mostly online. Traversing Europe, she awaits emails and texts and PMs, awash in her dreams, offering succinct meditations on ...

Girl Online
What happens when a woman goes online? She becomes a girl. The unwritten contract of the internet, that a user is what is used, extends from the well-examined issue of data privacy and consent to the very selves women are encouraged to create in order to appear. Invited to self-construct as “girls online,” vloggers, bloggers and influencers sign a devil’s bargain: a platform on the condition they commodify themselves, eternally youthful, cute and responsibility-free, hiding offline domestic, professional and emotional labour while paying for their online presence with “accounts” of personal “experience.” Told via the arresting personal narrative of one woman negotiating the (cyber)space between her identities as girl, mother, writer, and commodified online persona, Girl Online is written in a plethora of the online styles, from programming language to the blog/diary, from tweets to lyric prose, taking in selfies, social media, celebrity and Cyberfeminism.

With an irresistible text that begs to be read aloud and adorable illustrations, parents and grandparents will love sharing this collection of affection with the youngest of readers.
Hotel
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. During the breakdown of an unhappy marriage, writer Joanna Walsh got a job as a hotel reviewer, and began to gravitate towards places designed as alternatives to home. Luxury, sex, power, anonymity, privacy...hotels are where our desires go on holiday, but also places where our desires are shaped by the hard realities of the marketplace. Part memoir and part meditation, this book visits a series of rooms, suites, hallways, and lobbies-the spaces and things that make up these modern sites of gathering and alienation, hotels. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
I Love Mum
An adorable, sunshiny book which shows how, no matter what, there's just no-one like Mum. Some smiles are sun smiles, run for miles smiles But no one's smile is wider, brighter, than my mum's smile. Follow two little tiger cubs as they enjoy a fun-filled day with their loving mum. Praise for The Perfect Hug "The Perfect Hug is a must for Valentine's Day promotions and an endearing book for parents, guardians and grandparents to share with little ones." The Bookseller "Cuddly, snuggly animals and a big dose of the 'ahhh' factor give this oodles of commercial potential, like last year's The Biggest Kiss." The Bookseller Praise for The Biggest Kiss "Everyone loves kisses and this book is certainly full of them with the best kiss of all saved until the end. A generally feel-good book". Family Interest
Grow a Pair
Once upon a time three big dicks lived in a forest. Meanwhile, in a city where no one has genitals, residents get creative with their desires. A woman discovers that she can cause people to have orgasms by pressing a special key on her keyboard. Joanna Walsh's interlinked fairytales take place in a realm of erotic possibility, where desire is the driving energy and shame seems to be unheard-of substance. In these funny, absurd, sometimes dark tales, everything is imbued with the magic of sex.
