A review by kiraascottie
We Are Made Of Diamond Stuff by Isabel Waidner

4.0

“But Britishness itself is mediated through empire which is why colonial nostalgia can be recruited into neo-imperial agendas like Tory Brexit, or ‘Empire 2.0’[.]” (p.82)

There is nothing normal about the house of Mother Normal. A lypard (a literary leopard) runs loose, posing threat to the general public, Reebok trainers are poets and Polar Bears are novelists. An experimental exploration of the British identity disconnection, xenophobia and the queer working-class experience. Fans of Ali Smith will enjoy!
