Namwali Serpell’s highly anticipated THE FURROWS is garnering amazing press and reviews ahead of its September release. Serpell was featured on the cover of Poets & Writers’ September issue, with an incredible profile on the author about her stellar literary and academic career. Renée H. Shea writes: “Namwali Serpell conjures the roiling nature of grief in a powerful narrative that explores memory, loss, and black identity without resting on what she calls the ‘meaningless platitude’ that art promotes empathy...Resisting knee-jerk empathy that is an end in itself and refusing to presume she has the answers to big questions of loss and injustice, Serpell offers that satisfying difficulty in THE FURROWS that unsettles readers as it draws them in. If it’s disquieting, all to the good.” GQ, Kirkus, and Goodreads also featured the novel on their must-read roundups. Hogarth will publish the novel on September 27, 2022.
