I look to small presses for the unexpected, for books that remind me
that there is always a fresh way to approach literature. What reader isn't
looking for work that knocks the stuffing out of the hoary old maxim about
there being nothing new under the sun? Of course there is. A few years ago I
picked up a Biblioasis title, Malarky, by Anakana
Schofield. I hadn't heard of the author and didn't know anything about the
book. I wasn't even done the first page when all of the lights came on and
stayed on for the next two hundred odd pages. What's more brilliant than
brilliant? I don't know, but Malarky is a good example of it.
Congrats on your tenth!
