THE FURROWS by Namwali Serpell
THE FURROWS by Namwali Serpell continues to receive waves of critical acclaim in the lead-up to its publication. The book was featured on Vulture’s "57 Books We Can’t Wait to Read This Fall," praised as a “gorgeous, surreal meditation on identity and mourning, one that squeezes the heartstrings and rarely relaxes its grip.” The Telegraph awarded the book 5 stars, with reviewer Cal Revely-Calder raving: “[THE FURROWS is] masterful: a blend of the self-knowing, sincere and spry…Serpell’s sentences are unhurried, yet detailed, smart and brisk – two cigarette-tips ‘kiss and smoulder’; life underwater is ‘the colour of shadow’ – while her narrative is coolly controlled.” Lastly, THE FURROWS was featured on most-anticipated lists from The New York Times Book Review, The Boston Globe, The Millions, and Ms. Magazine. Hogarth will publish the novel on September 27, 2022.
