Sheena Patel - I'M A FAN

Rough Trade Books 2022 ISBN 9781914236150 Acqn 31989


Hb 13x17cm 136pp £14.99

In I'm A Fan single speaker uses the story of their experience in a seemingly unequal, unfaithful
relationship as a prism through which to examine the complicated hold we each have on one
another. With a clear and unforgiving eye, the narrator unpicks the behaviour of all involved,
herself included, and makes startling connections between the power struggles at the heart of
human relationships and those of the wider world, in turn offering a devastating critique of access,
social media, patriarchal heteronormative relationships, and our cultural obsession with status
and how that status is conveyed.

In this incredible debut, Sheena Patel announces herself as a vital new voice in literature,
capable of rendering a range of emotions and visceral experiences on the page. Sex, violence,
politics, tenderness, humour-Patel handles them all with both originality and dexterity of voice.
