Penguin's annual offering, First Proof showcases new writing and new writers, the purpose being to highlight emerging talent as well as writers who have enjoyed acclaim but not as wide a readership as they clearly deserve. The few established authors you might find here are writing in a genre completely new to them. A selection of luminous prose and sparkling poetry, First Proof 2 covers diverse styles and genres. From reflections and memories to portraits and biographies; from society and media trends to travel and history, this second volume includes works in progress, essays, short stories and, for the first time, poetry.
