1 week ago | huckmag.com | Katie Goh

Katie Goh’s debut book, Foreign Fruit, is part memoir, part botanical history, and part cultural criticism. It follows the journey of the orange – from its origins on the Tibetan plateau as a hybrid of pomelo and mandarin to the neatly waxed, netted fruit stacked high in supermarket aisles. Along the way, she unpacks how the orange is tied to colonialism, migration, resilience, and survival.

On the docks of a small fishing village on São Miguel’s north coast, the largest island of the Portuguese Azores archipelago, around 50 musicians take to the stage.

Ireland’s music scene is absolutely thriving right now. Fontaines D.C.’s Romance was an easy contender for 2024’s album of the year, while Kneecap’s politically charged rap has seen them become some of hip-hop’s most provocative pioneers.

Spyros Rennt first moved to Berlin in 2011. He had grown up in Athens, then moved to San Francisco and Munich before settling on the German capital.
