Kei Miller picks Helen McClory as an unmissable emerging writer!
Some exciting news! Kei Miller has picked his ten unmissable emerging writers in the UK as part of the International Literature Showcase, and has included our own Helen McClory!
On his ten selections, Kei said, “These are not just new and promising talents. More importantly, they are the writers of an emerging world – or, at least, the best that we might imagine that world to be.”
More so, on Helen and her work, he continued, “Her practice is endlessly playful, formally inventive, and always stretching itself into new territories. We are always in need writers to show us new forms, and McClory is establishing herself as a writer able to do just that.”
We couldn’t agree more! You can read more on Kei’s full list for the International Literature Showcase here, and treat yourself to Helen’s books below.
