The Happy Reader – Issue 18, Diane Von Furstenburg
For avid readers and the uninitiated alike, The Happy Reader is a magazine-shaped book club to inspire and entertain.

On the cover, photographer Davey Adésida captures the immeasurable energy of DIANE VON FURSTENBERG.
The Book of the Season, Nella Larsen’s novel PASSING, prompts stories on race, code-switching and the whirlwind of Harlem in the 1920s. This novel about race caused a major stir in 1929, only to then be forgotten and for its author to effectively vanish. It’s now recognised as one of the greatest books of the Harlem Renaissance.
Contributors include: Willy Ndatira, Awol Erizku, Morgan Jenkins, Roisin Kiberd, Gabrielle Bellot, Wayde Compton and Georgina Lawton
