Simon Wroe recommends
thumb
Enter the Aardvark (2020)
Jessica Anthony
"A feverish, rollicking beast of a book. Totally assured, completely unpredictable, Jessica Anthony has created a true original."
thumb
In Our Mad and Furious City (2018)
Guy Gunaratne
"A blazing, swaggering, polyphonic debut. Here is London through the eyes of those 'with elsewhere in their blood'. Gunaratne has a ventriloquist's command of voice, a film-maker's eye, and talent to burn."
