Radical Book Fair 2023 - our audience's favourites
Jessica
If you had the chance to pop along to the Radical Book Fair this year, you might have seen a colourful notice board, set up against one of the Roxy's magnificent pillars, full of post-it notes.
Following on from our question to this year's speakers, we asked book fair attendants the same question: name one book that has changed the way you view the personal/political. We also asked the same on instagram stories.
These were the books you suggested. May they reach new readers and may the readers find each other, to create real change.
