Time-travel constrained by the limitations of Google Maps and trials out of Hieronymus Bosch never out-dazzle the human heart in this novel of friendship, art, injustice, and all that can be imagined and unimagined. From the first page, matadors in North London seem entirely plausible and we wait to see what might be coming around the next corner. Waidner has a live, distinctive intelligence that pushes form to make us see the world around us in new ways and perhaps even for the first time.” —Kamila Shamsie, Goldsmiths Prize judge “This Goldsmiths prize-winning romp through austerity Britain is a provocative act of resistance to our morally slippery times. It’s endlessly associative, bursting with ribaldry and Tory-baiting satire; reading Waidner is like plugging into an electric socket of language and ideas.” —The Guardian (UK) “Waidner is subverting conventions on Sterling Karat Gold Also by Isabel Waidner FICTION We Are Made of Diamond Stuff Gaudy Bauble AS EDITOR Liberating the Canon: An Anthology of Innovative Literature Sterling Karat Gold A Novel Isabel Waidner GRAYWOLF PRESS Copyright © 2021 by Isabel Waidner First published by Peninsula Press, London The author and Graywolf Press have provided this e-book to you for your personal use only.
