More about the book
The book examines the stark educational inequalities in Britain, particularly the dominance of private schooling in shaping the literary landscape. It critiques the prevalence of realist and humanist writing, attributing it to a cultural bias that favors privileged perspectives. Through a playful reimagining of works by avant-garde novelist Tom McCarthy and French memoirists Didier Eribon and Édouard Louis, the author explores the need for inclusivity in English literature, advocating for the voices of working-class, BAME, and LGBTQIAP+ authors.
