For Selvon, Ardan and Yusuf, growing up under the towers of Stones Estate, summer means what it does anywhere: Football, music, freedom. But now, after the killing of a British soldier, riots are spreading across the city and nowhere is safe. While the fury swirls around them, Selvon and Ardan remain focused on their own obsessions, girls and grime. Their friend Yusuf is caught up in a different tide, a wave of radicalism surging through his local mosque, threatening to carry his troubled brother, Irfan, with it. Provocative, raw, poetic yet tender, In Our Mad And Furious City announces the arrival of a major new talent in fiction.
