Description:	Select Guide Rating A slim, inventive novella that questions what divides fiction and memoir - Exquisite Cadavers is a bricolage of influence and a daring modernist short. *From the author of When I Hit You, shortlisted for the 2018 Women''s Prize for Fiction* Karim and Maya: [x] share a home [x] worry about money [x] binge-watch films [x] argue all the time Karim, a young film-maker, carries with him the starry-eyed dreams of the Arab Revolution. Maya carries her own pressing concerns: an errant father, an unstable job, a chain-smoking habit, a sudden pregnancy. When Karim''s brother disappears in Tunis, and Karim wants to go after him, Maya must choose between her partner and her home city, her future and her history... In a conversation between forms, fictions and truths, Exquisite Cadavers is a novel about a young couple navigating love in London, and a literary hall of mirrors about an author navigating the inspirations behind her work. ___________________ ''An inventive fusion'' Observer ''A work of brilliance'' Financial Times ''Wonderful'' LitHub
