Couldn’t be happier to be welcoming @MonaOjedaF to @GrantaBooks for her new novel. ELECTRIC SHAMANS is a trip.

[Dan Bird @dbirdan]

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_f and @jessleebot

'Hugely ambitious... it builds into a rich, poetic reclamation of cultural inheritance'

Great to see Justin Torres' BLACKOUTS included in @GuardianBooks' autumn preview: https://t.co/mLdBSm4fwI

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

[Granta Books @GrantaBooks]

BLACKOUTS, the new novel from Justin Torres and his first since #WeTheAnimals, is publishing in November.

An intimate, emotionally rich novel, in which two men - young and old - reckon with queer histories and their place within them.
