Paul Fulcher (fulcherkim) | 13462 comments Think it is great to see this, as it is very different to the typical Goldsmiths author (white, male, middle aged, literary academic and relatively obscure author - see eg CD Rose).

I am about halfway through - and it’s intriguing but will be fascinating to see how the author lands the end.

Gumble's Yard - Golden Reviewer | 10144 comments I thought she landed it really well

I thought this was refreshingly different on what is normally such an astonishingly insular and non- diverse prize.
