Winner: Observer/Anthony Burgess prize 2024: Oscar Jelley reviews Isabel Waidner
Briefly

Life should be full of strangeness/ like a rich painting... Fah Does Social Mobility,...world in which most things are broken and reality is taking on bizarre new shapes.
Waidner is a political moralist... exclusive our cultural institutions remain, even when they're falling over each other to trumpet their inclusivity.
The best parts of the book are those that capture an aspect of our reality in a scenario or an image while retaining an irreducible element of oddness.
