The Intended by David Dabydeen
'A startlingly honest first novel which turns a thematic HEART OF DARKNESS around to illumine a groping pilgrimage - Indian and Rastafarian - issuing from distant colonies in a new video jungle and a labyrinth of coded sex in the city of London' Wilson Harris 'The author's seriousness and his eschewing of softening fantasy recall V. S. Naipaul's works about Asian immigrants, but Dabydeen operates on a far grimmer social terrain' Times Literary Supplement| SKU | Unavailable |
