Reviews
A nuanced narrative... Will simultaneously shock and reel in readers
A one-woman, agitprop literary-political movement... It would take Carol Ann Duffy, Arundhati Roy and Salman Rushdie to match her infinite variety
A revolutionary book by one of the greatest writers of our era
An uncompromising, unrelenting and unbelievable tour-de-force that nails far-right incels to the wall by their nutsacks
Her prose is electric, at once brave and poetic and satirical
Kandasamy is fearless on the page
Kandasamy's work becomes bolder and more exciting with each new book
One of fiction's most fiery and unclassifiable
One of the most urgent voices of tomorrow
The best book of the year. Fieldwork as a Sex Object is compulsive, confronting, wild and utterly original
There will be poetic justice when this fierce and brilliant novel goes viral
One of my books of the year. I loved her last novel When I Hit You, but Fieldwork as a Sex Object is even better. Brave, bold, original and brilliantly written
Brilliant and brutal. In this fascinating novel, Kandasamy reveals with a delicate sort of mastery the many modes of oppression exercised against women
