THE FURROWS by Namwali Serpell
THE FURROWS by Namwali Serpell continues to receive incredible accolades. The book has been longlisted for The New Literary Projects’ Joyce Carol Oates Prize, which “annually honors a mid-career author of fiction in the midst of a burgeoning career.” Finalists will be announced in March 2023, and the winner will be announced in April 2023. The book was also featured on 2022 best-of lists from The Los Angeles Times (“Serpell’s delivery is truly innovative: Her shape-shifting approach to character and language captures the disassociation that often attends loss in brand-new ways”), Vulture (“At once heartfelt and dizzying, THE FURROWS is a powerful meditation on riding out the waves of grief”), and Oprah Daily (“Serpell, the author of the widely praised THE OLD DRIFT, spins a decades-long incantatory dream; the facts change, but the bewildering grief remains the same. She weaves influences from noir masters to canonical authors to visionary filmmakers, most conspicuously Alfred Hitchcock”). Hogarth published THE FURROWS on September 27, 2022.
