Readers' notesThese pages are for individual readers and reading groups.
Do you want to know a bit more about the pieces before you read them? Do you want some help to understand a piece after you’ve read it? Would you like ideas on how to start a discussion about the pieces?
As well as discussing the theme, the introductions may suggest links to other texts in the anthology, or to other writing by the same author, or to different traditional or contemporary work. Each introduction will also offer you follow-up questions. These are not meant to be exhaustive, and there are no right or wrong answers. The most important questions and conclusions may be those that strike you alone, and that depend on your experience, your tastes, your circumstances, and on your own reading. We hope you enjoy them.
New Writing 14 In their introduction to New Writing 14, its editors, Lavinia Greenlaw and Helon Habila, describe the anthology as a smoke signal, ‘a way of showing the world what’s going on inside this language’. So what does the book as a whole say to you about writing in English? The monthly pages for New Writing 14 are written to help you make up your mind. New Writing 14 readers notes introduction.
For a guide to setting up Reading Groups, an ideas bank and information about the British Council Reading Groups around the world take a look at our enCompassCulture website.
The New Writing 12 and New Writing 13 Readers’ notes were written by Tom Forrest. The notes for New Writing 14 were written by Jenny Newman.
