About the Author:
Diran Adebayo grew up and lives in London. His acclaimed first novel, SOME KIND OF BLACK won a number of awards: The 1995 Saga Prize, a Betty Trask Award, and The Writers' Guilds New Writers of the Year Award. He has since written drama for radio and television.
Review:
Magnificent and seductively Nineties * Julie Myerson * Sharply written and exceptional * DAILY TELEGRAPH * Strikingly innovative...Adebayo's novel wryly captures the essence of a tribalised society, and, in doing so, has a powerful resonance for us all, black or white, as his complex web of storylines and characters culminates in a surprising denouncement. * INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY * A gloriously capable and confident writer...Some Kind of Black is thoughtful, witty and moving...it is refreshing to read something so extrovert and alert...I urge you to read it * THE TIMES *
