When I Open the Shop by romesh dissanayake is 'a novel about loss, exile, and dislocation, in which time, space, and memory become a beautiful, fluid thing' (Brannavan Gnanalingam).
These début novelists are also poets who have used formal play to give their narrative an extra gear. They explore the shifting borders between prose and poetry in conversation with Chris Price.
