On any given month when there’s a massive first-party value offer for a service like Xbox Game Pass, you can bet on the rest of the month quaking in fear of the might of the publisher that holds all the power.

For the author of 2018’s Booker-longlisted In Our Mad and Furious City (or Mad, as they handily call it), the zigzag itinerary has become a routine: the new book, initally sparked by the controversy surrounding Shamima Begum,…
