Commonwealth Foundation Creatives Ingrid Persaud πΉπΉπ§π§π¬π§ The West Kirby Bookshop Congratulations, Ingrid Persaud πΉπΉπ§π§π¬π§! So happy for you. 'The Sweet Sop' is my favourite short story ever, and it's not nothing that it places above Flannery O'Connor's 'Everything That Rises Must Converge'. It was partly the inspiration behind my #CWprize longlisted story for 2024.
