Not Quite Right For Us

Not Quite Right For Us

Sharmilla Beezmohun
4.8/5 ( ratings)

Not quite right for us: the dismissive, casual disdain of the phrase will be all too familiar to anyone who has felt the sting of unjust exclusion, whether in the classroom or the workplace, at home or abroad, through the words of strangers or even loved ones.

In forty essays, short stories and poems — by turns wry, gentle, furious, humorous, passionate, analytical and elliptical — this theme is interpreted by a dynamic mix of new and established writers alike. Aminatta Forna, Colin Grant, Xiaolu Guo, John Hegley, Raman Mundair, John Pitts, Olive Senior, Tim Wells and others evoke their experiences of outsiderness in its myriad forms, and their defiance against it.

Celebrating ten years of the literature organisation Speaking Volumes, this anthology is a cri du coeur, a warning shot, an affirmation, an education forty works. It will resonate with readers who understand where it's coming from, or who are allied to its purpose, or — hopefully — who are ready for some unexpected lessons in empathy.
