FINALIST FOR THE 2022 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
The Birdcatcher is the new novel from a major voice in American literature,
which explores artists in exile, dangerous relationships and the demands of
creativity.
'A literary giant, and one of my absolute favourite writers' - Tayari Jones,
author of An American Marriage
'I am living on the white-washed island of Ibiza with my friend Catherine
Shuger, a sculptor who has been declared legally insane, and her husband,
Ernest. Standing on the terrace, sheltered in the smell of oranges and
eucalyptus, washed in sunlight, you'd swear this was a paradise. But to tell
the truth the place is full of dangers. You see, Catherine sometimes tries to
kill her husband. It has been this way for years . . .'
'My name's Amanda Wordlaw. Wonderful name for a writer, isn't it? . . . I
guess I'm sort of a choice companion for the Shugers - professional watcher
and listener that I am. It's like they need someone else to witness the shit,
the spectacle they make of themselves.'
'A fascinating meditation on Black female creativity from the author of
Corregidora and Palmares . . . Vivid characters shimmer through the pages'
