@akblakemore has written a monstrously brilliant, beautiful, brutal novel! This is what historical fiction should be - writing that throws you into the viscera of the past in all its strangeness & intensity. Amy is a true original & I can’t wait for everyone to read this.

BLACKOUTS, Justin Torres’ first novel since We The Animals, is ‘shapeshifting and ambitious’ (Niven Govinden), ‘a dexterous, searing exploration of queer lives’ (Irenosen Okojie) that’s ‘full of a kind of daring that winks as it passes’ (@alexanderchee). V excited for it to land.

'Hugely ambitious... it builds into a rich, poetic reclamation of cultural inheritance' Great to see Justin Torres' BLACKOUTS included in Guardian Books' autumn preview: amp.theguardian.com/books/2023/aug…

Late to the party, but v excited about this. A tour through different sexual fetishes, SECOND SKIN will be playful and disruptive, deeply considered and definitely a little smutty. Couldn’t be happier to be working with Anastasiia Fedorova and jessica lee

Very excited to announce that I'm translating EL DESIERTO BLANCO by Luis López Carrasco for Granta Books - about the future & memory, it's melancholy yet comic, structurally inventive yet highly readable, w touches of 'Lost' & 'The Traitors', among other things🏜️ anagrama-ed.es/foreign-rights…
