The novelist, biographer and creative writing professor Rodge
Glass introduces this panel of debut writers.
Kasim Ali - Good Intentions
A heart-wrenching and
beautifully told debut novel about love, family obligation and finding your
way. Nur and Yasmina are in love. They’ve been together for four happy
years. But Nur’s parents don’t know that Yasmina exists.
Good Intentions deftly
explores family obligation and racial prejudice alongside the flush of first
love, it is
a captivating and powerful modern love story that announces a thrilling new
voice in British fiction.
Ashley Hickson-Lovence - Your Show
From Jamaica to Sheffield to the
recently formed Premier League, Uri rises through the ranks as a referee,
making it to the the highest level of our national game.
But along the way he is confronted with tensions and prejudices, old and new,
which emerge as his every move is watched, analysed and commented on.
Your Show is an extraordinary novel
which charts one man's pioneering efforts to make it, against the odds, to the
very top of his profession and beyond.
Catherine Prasifka - None of this is Serious
Dublin student life is ending for
Sophie and her friends. They've got everything figured out, and Sophie feels
left behind as they all start to go their separate ways. She's overshadowed by
her best friend Grace. She's been in love with Finn for as long as she's known
him. And she's about to meet Rory, who's suddenly available to her online.
None of This Is Serious is about
the uncertainty and absurdity of being alive today. It's about balancing the
real world with the online, and the vulnerabilities in yourself, your
relationships, your body. At its heart, this is a novel about the friendships
strong enough to withstand anything.
