Shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize 2020 'Insightful. Inventive.
Hilarious. Genius' EIMEAR MCBRIDE 'Bina is fiction of the rarest
and darkest kind, a work whose pleasures must be taken measure for
measure with its pains' RACHEL CUSK 'A captivating look at female
friendship' MAIL ON SUNDAY My name is Bina and I'm a very busy
woman. That's Bye-na, not Beena. I don't know who Beena is but I
expect she's having a happy life. I don't know who you are, or the
state of your life. But if you've come all this way here to listen
to me, your life will undoubtedly get worse. I'm here to warn you .
. . So begins this 'novel in warnings' - an unforgettable tour de
force in the voice of an ordinary-extraordinary woman who has
simply had enough. Through the character of Bina, who is writing
out her story on the backs of discarded envelopes, Anakana
Schofield filters a complex moral universe filled with humour and
sadness, love and rage, and the consolations, obligations and
mysteries of lifelong friendship. A work of great power, skill, and
transformative empathy from a unique and astonishing writer.
