In the May Readings Monthly, we have an edited extract from Professor Raina MacIntyre’s timely new book, Vaccine Nation: Science, Reason and the Threat to 200 Years of Progress, which is essential reading for anyone wondering about the effects of the rise in measles cases and will also have people queueing up for their flu vaccinations. We also have an abundance of new releases, including brilliant debuts and possibly the most tantalising description of a crime novel yet.
In May there are new books from established favourites including Jessica Townsend (a new Nevermoor novel!), Maxine Beneba Clarke, Dervla McTiernan (the return of Cormac Reilly!), Jacqueline Kent, Eimear McBride, Sayaka Murata and Ocean Vuong.
