Staff Pick! Sam says…
Following in the radiant, revolutionary and gleefully disruptive vein of their previous novels, Isabel Waidner’s new novel begins with a writer winning a big literary prize. Things start to go sideways when Corey tries to collect it. From here the novel catalogues and skewers how mass culture continually represses and exploits the marginalised voices it pretends to uplift. Like Isabel’s previous novels Corey Fah moves with an irrepressible energy, estranging the familiar and showing how strange are the things we take as given!
