Working alongside the 1993 Booker Prize winner are Parker, authors Ayobami Adebayo and Kiley Reid, and critic Chris Power. “For longer still – since my mother taught me how to read – I’ve filled hours of every day with novels, reading them, rereading them, just gazing at them. ‘His head was never out of the books’ is two-thirds of my biography.
