The echo of a question permeates the collection - where does a person grow up? - moving restlessly between rural Wales, London and the American South; between the esoteric spaces of the internet; between the artlessness of childhood and adolescence transfigured inexplicably into a disquieting adulthood, with its attendant weirdness of rent-paying, cohabiting, the churn of mindless work and alienation.  The generous abundance of Cowboy's references - memes, early noughties television shows, pop songs, cities and their suburbs, video games - bring anxiety and pressure, joy and glory to this singularly impressive debut.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49539337290001,"sku":"GOR013263272","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746818498833,"sku":"NGR9781800818149","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50261957476625,"sku":"GOR013902269","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1800818149.jpg?v=1759229045"},{"product_id":"kaleido-book-kandace-siobhan-walker-9781913268336","title":"Kaleido","description":"\u003cp\u003eKandace Siobhan Walker's double pamphlet is a dextrous, inventive take on the tarot's Major Arcana. Mirrored in its entirety, Kaleido\u0026gt;explores the archetypes in both upright and reversed positions-attesting to Walker's superb formal skill and compelling line in existential enquiry. Summoning spirit guides, girlhood ennui, quetiapine dreams and Minnie Riperton, this speaker seeks certainty in biblical gardens, noisy bars and fast Cadillacs, in South East London, Sapelo Island and the Brecon Beacons. Kaleido is an enthralling, unforgettable debut.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51054049984785,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054052638993,"sku":"NIN9781913268336","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51520330268945,"sku":"GOR014312945","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51889003790609,"sku":"GOR014447984","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52452280860945,"sku":"NLS9781913268336","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1913268330.jpg?v=1750900520"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-kandace-siobhan-walker.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
