Long-listed for the 2018 Man Booker Prize Short-listed for the 2018 Gordon Burn Prize Short-listed for the 2018 Goldsmiths Prize Inspired by the real-life murder of a British army soldier by religious fan atics, Guy Gunaratne's In Our Mad and Furious City is a snapshot of the div erse, frenzied edges of modern-day London. A crackling debut from a vital n ew voice, it pulses with the frantic energy of the city's homegrown grime m usic and is animated by the youthful rage of a dispossessed, overlooked, an d often misrepresented generation. While Selvon, Ardan, and Yusuf organize their lives around soccer, girls, a nd grime, Caroline and Nelson struggle to overcome pasts that haunt them. E ach voice is uniquely insightful, impassioned, and unforgettable, and when stitched together, they trace a brutal and vibrant tapestry of today's Lond on. In a forty-eight-hour surge of extremism and violence, their lives are inexorably drawn together in the lead-up to an explosive, tragic climax. In Our Mad and Furious City documents the stark disparities and bubbling fury coursing beneath the prosperous surface of a city uniquely on the brink. Written in the distinctive vernaculars of contemporary London, the novel challenges the ways in which we coexist nowand, more important, the ways in which we often fail to do so.
