Kin by Krishna Dutta
The presence of black and Asian people in the UK has altered the nation in so many ways that our culture is now one of fusion. Against this backdrop, Kin brings together some of the sharpest new literary talent, from the poetic intensity of Francesca Beard and the assured prose of Donna Daley-Clarke, to the electric energy of Gemma Weekes, riding the crest of the wave on her ?Gucci broomstick?. The stories in Kin are populated by a fascinating cast of characters, sometimes bizarre, always intriguing: these are stories about mothers, sisters, lovers, best friends and brides to-be. With the rise of authors such as Zadie Smith and Monica Ali there is much interest in writing by black and Asian women authors: this collection brings together the finest of the new voices.
?Flavoursome, gutsy and poignant?Kin introduces some wonderfully adventurous new writing? Bernardine Evaristo ?It?s a potent mix of tales, from the spiky, fiesty staccato of Gemma Weekes and the dreamy lyricism of Francesca Beard, to the bubbling humour of Saradha Soobrayen and the harsh, iron-tinged prose of Shiromi Pinto?
