  'I'll do anything for you. I can do anything for you.'
  Nikita and Riya are two South Asian sisters: insecure, stateless and desperate for somewhere to call 'home'.
  Nikita's work with young migrants requires her to keep her saviour complex in check as she negotiates the challenges and hypocrisy of the third sector. Meanwhile, Riya is offered the chance to create an advocate in the form of a homunculus (or fawn), and sees a chance to elevate herself above the cruelty meted out to others.
  Sonali Bhattacharyya's play King Troll (The Fawn) is a dark and dystopian exploration of migrant experiences in all their complexity – and the troll that lives within all of us, whispering 'me, not us', and definitely 'me first'. It was a finalist for the 2023 Women's Prize for Playwriting, and was first performed as a co-production between Kali Theatre and New Diorama Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Milli Bhatia.

  When Nduka and Jona find themselves working together far from home, their shared heritage becomes a bridge of friendship in an unfamiliar land. But as success and recognition begin to shift, so does the atmosphere, from trust to tension, from brotherhood to suspicion. 
  Whispers begin. Loyalties shift. And what once felt like family starts to feel like danger. 
  Set against the backdrop of cultural expectations and spiritual beliefs, The Power of Shadows is a compelling tale of ambition, faith, and the hidden forces that can unravel even the strongest bonds. 
  Will truth prevail when doubt takes root? Or will the shadows consume them both? 
  A deeply human story for fans of moral fiction, African narratives, and faith-centered drama.

  A resplendent life in sonnets from the author of Four-Legged Girl, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize 
   
   
   
  "The sonnet, like poverty, teaches you what you can do / without," Diane Seuss writes in this brilliant, candid work, her most personal collection to date. These poems tell the story of a life at risk of spilling over the edge of the page, from Seuss's working-class childhood in rural Michigan to the dangerous allures of New York City and back again. With sheer virtuosity, Seuss moves nimbly across thought and time, poetry and punk, AIDS and addiction, Christ and motherhood, showing us what we can do, what we can do without, and what we offer to one another when we have nothing left to spare. Like a series of cels on a filmstrip, frank: sonnets captures the magnitude of a life lived honestly, a restless search for some kind of "beauty or relief." Seuss is at the height of her powers, devastatingly astute, austere, and—in a word—frank.

  In *Calyx*, the story unfolds of an unusual friendship between Armin, a successful high school graduate, and little Dennis, who is threatened by an incurable virus. As part of his voluntary social year in a municipal hospital, Armin discovers a well-kept secret about a room where Dennis is in the isolation ward. The virus, transmissible through blood and bodily fluids, has turned the once innocent boy into a little monster.    Despite the warnings and his girlfriend Ruth's fear of possible infection, Armin decides to gain little Dennis' trust. A tender friendship develops, which is challenged by Doctor Pneuma's merciless control and the boy's isolation. Ruth, initially skeptical, eventually succumbs to little Dennis' charm and mischievousness.    *Calyx* is not only a novel about friendship and respect, but also a story full of humor, drama, suspense and adventure. The close bond between Armin, Ruth and Dennis is put to the test when they embark on extraordinary adventures together outside the supposed safety of the hospital. This novel shows that nothing in life can be planned and that things always turn out differently than you think.
