In Pushing the Wave 2023, L.A. Davenport returns with a captivating new collection of essays, stories, reflections, and recipes, continuing the journey begun in his first volume covering 2017-2022.

These entries span the profound and the playful, the global and the domestic, all underpinned by a keen sense of the beauty and absurdity in everyday life.Perfect for readers of reflective non-fiction, literary memoir, and contemporary commentary, Pushing the Wave 2023 is a richly textured mosaic of a year lived thoughtfully-and a timely invitation to slow down, look around, and truly engage.For fans of: Rebecca Solnit, Karl Ove Knausgård, Teju Cole, Deborah Levy, and those who cherish personal writing that speaks to the world at large.
