Critics Review
Praise for YELLOWFACE:
‘Propulsive’ SUNDAY TIMES
‘Razor-sharp’ TIME
‘Strikingly topical’ GUARDIAN
‘Scathing, spiky, and full of laugh-out-loud moments’ GLAMOUR
‘A clever, pacy tale’ SARA PASCOE
‘A riot’ PANDORA SYKES
‘Uncomfortable and addictive… a must-read’ INDEPENDENT
‘I guarantee it will stay with you’ AFUA HIRSCH
‘Tense, modern… a brilliant exploration of the literary world’ AISLING BEA
Praise for KATABASIS:
‘Katabasis is a celebration of “the acrobatics of thought”. A tale of poets and storytellers, thinkers and theorists, art-makers and cultural sorcerers. This is a novel that believes in ideas – just not the cages we build for them’ GUARDIAN
