This was an interesting speculative history novel, it was engaging, but in the end, I didn't really feel one way or another about it.

This fascinating little novel is a speculative fiction study about fitting in vs. being different, that's witty, surreal and thought provoking. Read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/06/02/in-his-own-space/

It's an exciting time for international literature, and the breadth and diversity of these longlists reflect that.

From established authors like Javier Marías to new voices like Basma Abdel Aziz, from works of speculative fiction like Wicked Weeds to family sagas from Senegal like Doomi Golo, there’s something on here for every type of reader.
