Choice

Dazzling...by turns comic, lyrical and heartbreaking' Monica Ali Choice is a bold and dramatic novel that asks the reader to consider: should we be driven by moral values or market values? And how will the choices we make affect our work, our relationships and our place in the world? In three ingeniously linked but distinct narratives, we meet a publisher who is at war with his industry and himself/an academic who exchanges one story for another, after an accident that brings a stranger into her life/and a family in rural India whose lives are destroyed by a gift. Together these stories, each of which has devastating unintended consequences, form a breath-taking exploration of freedom, responsibility and ethics. They reappraise assumptions about race, appropriation and the economy of our cultural world. Choice is a masterful enquiry into how we should live our lives, and how we should tell them. 'a magnificent achievement' Namwali Serpell 'a superb writer... his greatest work yet' Michelle de Kretser
