Trade Review
A debut novel at once lyrical and gritty, offering an unsentimental view of the African immigrant experience in London's Brixton * Scotsman *
It's the darkest of comedies, fuelled by an eccentric, wholly convincing voice * Observer *
An hilarious and wrenching examination of immigrant life... From a prodigiously talented and uncompromising writer -- Ali Smith
Chikwava has created an utterly compelling anti-hero... Mesmerising * Guardian *
A writer to watch. Brian Chikwava's language is lively and witty and it turns the London you know upside down -- Maggie Gee
