Jonathan Escoffery: 'I was trying to write novels aged nine'

The novelist Rumaan Alam has called it "a reminder of what fiction can do... It's truly a feat that a book of short stories tackling such big stuff - family, love, violence, race - could be so damn funny."
"This is what was happening in the 70s, this is why we left."
"It's not even fiction, it's just a statement, but sometimes you just have to say the thing, you know?"
