Sarah Perry recommends
The Modern Fairies (2024)
Clare Pollard
"Elegant and decadent, vulgar and clever, enchanting and dark. The love child of Angela Carter and Anaïs Nin--the book I really, really needed."
The Five Sorrowful Mysteries of Andy Africa (2023)
Stephen Buoro
"Fascinating; unashamedly, brilliantly intelligent. It grapples with ideas around maths, Afrofuturism, biblical myth . . . profound philosophical stuff, but fundamentally it's a really playful, pleasurable book about young boy who's falling madly in love, and has a difficult, intense, loving relationship with his mother."
