Shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize and the Republic of
Consciousness Prize Polar bears emerge from t-shirts. Reeboks come
to life. Nothing is normal in the house of Mother Normal. In Isabel
Waidner's second novel, we follow an unnamed narrator who looks
like Eleven from Stranger Things, but is in fact a 36-year-old
migrant working for minimum wage in a run-down hotel on the Isle of
Wight. Along with their best friend, Shae, the narrator faces Ukip
activists, shapeshifting creatures, and despotic bosses while
trying to hold down their job and preparing for their Life in the
UK test. This is fiction that extends the avant-garde tradition
beyond the upper-class experience that it usually chronicles -
making it over as an ally of working-class queer experience. Set
against a backdrop of austerity and decline, We Are Made of Diamond
Stuff is an irreverent, boundary-erasing piece of work that
celebrates the radical potential of resistance, ingenuity, and
friendship.
