Further Reading From All Our Contributors
Hello there
So, you've probably either read The Good Immigrant or are midway through and loving it (I hope). You're thinking to yourself, this is great but where do I get more from the contributors?
Well, I'm going to list for you below books and records our faithful contributors have worked on. Feel free to get them from bookshops or, if you have to, somewhere electronic that I won't publicly endorse. Either way, please do consider supporting our contributors further. I won't even mention my previous two novels here, OH NO. Just know I've written two other novels.
1) Chimene Suleyman: She wrote a collection of poems about heartbreak, Canary Wharf and loneliness. It's called OUTSIDE LOOKING ON. Buy it from her publisher here
2) Salena Godden has written two poetry collection (FISHING IN THE AFTERMATH and UNDER THE PIER) and a memoir (SPRINGFIELD ROAD (it made me cry, a lot)). She has her own bookshop. Get them here
3) Riz Ahmed is an actor of some renowned. I'm sure you already have FOUR LIONS on DVD, which is weird, because you probably don't even have a DVD player anymore. Anyway, he raps as Riz MC, and as part of Swet Shop Boys. Swet Shop Boys have an album out in October
You can also get Riz MC's state of the nation mixtape ENGLISTAN here
4) Reni Eddo-Lodge has a book out next year called WHY I'M NO LONGER TALKING TO WHITE PEOPLE ABOUT RACE. Look out for it.
