A homophobic attack on a theatre rehearsal in Kingston in 1988 leaves trauma and unanswered questions. Years later, a search for two missing men reopens the past.
Kirkus emphasises the force and intensity of Marlon James's many-voiced narrative. Letters, diaries and conversations resist a single version of events. Choose this for an ambitious, demanding account of violence as something that continues in survivors' relationships long after the original event.
WHO IS IT FOR?
For readers drawn to character, language and the tensions within ordinary lives.
