Reni Eddo-Lodge's Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race (Bloomsbury) has risen eight places week on week to top the weekly Audible chart. The same week it rose 155 places up the top 5,000 in paperback, charting third overall and topping the Paperback Non-Fiction top 20, and topped both Amazon Charts' Most-Sold and Most-Read Non-Fiction rankings, it was also the bestselling audio download.
Not only have anti-racist titles been boosted by the Black Lives Matter movement across genres, but also formats: Layla Saad's Me and White Supremacy (Quercus), Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility (Penguin), Akala's Natives (Two Roads) and Ibram X Kendi's How to Be an Antiracist (Penguin) jumped into the Audible top six, with long-time Audible stalwart Michelle Obama's Becoming (Penguin) in fifth place.
As always, Audible consumers had a taste for the retro: Jeffrey Archer's A Prisoner of Birth (Pan Macmillan) hit seventh, with Daphne Du Maurier's Frenchman's Creek (Audible) just below in eighth.
