In the Belly of the Queen by Karosh Taha
In her kaleidoscopic novel, Karosh Taha expands our ideas of class, race and gender as she loops two stories around an invisible lynchpin: a woman who defies all expectations, a blank canvas for projections from all those around her. The book can be explored from either end, creating two very different narratives.
"There are two sides to every story, but this simple truth is rarely as meaningfully explored in literature as in Karosh Taha's second novel In the Belly of the QueenKarosh Taha succeeds in making you forget the construction in the narration, so richly and dazzlingly do her sentences shine." Britta Heidemann, Westdeutsche Allgemeine
