... X-24, an anthology of short fiction which he has co-edited with Nii Ayikwei Parkes. The collection is published by Lubin and Kleyner, a new imprint of Flipped Eye (which some of you may remember is the publisher of two of the performance poets who have visited Malaysia in the past months - Jacob Sam-La Rose and Roger Robinson).Writers included in the book Sefi Atta, Naomi Alderman, Daniel Alarcon, Peter Hobbs and Moorish Girl herself Laila Lalani.
I don't know if local bookshops are bringing this in, but I'm tau-pauing it from Amazon.com because a book-addict needs a hit as fast as possible.

Wow, this is great, thanks for the news, Sharon. Who says that short story collections aren't popular anymore? ;) Will definitely look out for this one.
don't know if the bookshops here bring in books from this publisher ...
Is that Janet from MPH? If it is, get MPH to bring in the book fast-fast, quick-quick, lah.
