Close Read: Lola Olufemi on Preti Taneja and Hannah Black

Join writer Lola Olufemi for an open discussion on two books that offer profound insights into the marginalising effects of white heteropatriarchal societies. Preti Taneja’s Aftermath, a lament for a friend killed in a London attack in 2019, is a genre-bending book about the systemic nature of atrocity. Hannah Black’s Tuesday or September or The End is a speculative fable in which aliens unleash violence towards justice. Reading the books in advance is not required to enjoy this engaging conversation.
