Personal Narrative: The Power
740 Words | 3 PagesFrom Shuichi Yoshida’s Parade to Kierkegaard’s Diary of a seducer or even Lemony Snicket’s A series of unfortunate events, I’ve always tried to read as broadly as possible (even though I have a preference for non-fiction and historical fiction).

Indeed, Penguin General with its eclecticism offers the best stories to everyone and represent every kind of individuals. Thus it fits my vision of what working in publishing means. Moreover, you published The Power by Naomi Alderman which is now amongst my favourite reads of all time.
