<p><b>SHORTLISTED FOR THE ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD 2024<br>LONGLISTED FOR THE NOTA BENE PRIZE 2024<br><br>A radical, joyful novel from Goldsmiths Prize-winning author Isabel Waidner</b><br><br>In flight from a traumatic rural childhood, Corey Fah has come to earth in a one-bed council flat in the capital. Trapped, with partner Drew, in the limited world which late capitalism has allotted them, they are modestly happy but practically futureless.<br><br>Until, one day, Corey is offered a life-changing prize from out of the blue. Things are looking up - but as Corey soon finds, it's one thing winning a prize in life's lottery, and quite another being able to collect it - especially if you are a queer, working class immigrant with all of History working against you.<br><br>Corey Fah's pursuit of the elusive prize - and an escape from precarity - is a whirlwind, epic journey through the streets of the city and the time-loops of the past, written with boundless energy and invention.<br><br>Social mobility, in this radiant, radical novel, is never a simple step up the ladder, but a hopeful leap into the void.<br><br><b>Praise for <i>Corey Fah Does Social Mobility:</i></b><br><br><b>'A head-spinning, mind-bending roller coaster of fun, horror, and subversion' Kamila Shamsie</b><br><br><b>'A radical, rebellious novel . . . [Waidner] brings a fresh lens to our troubled world' <i>Observer</i></b><br><br><b>[The] writer everyone is talking about . . . and deservedly so' Bernardine Evaristo</b><br><br><b>'Filled with wickedly sharp commentary and well-aimed digs at hypocrisy and injustice' <i>Times Literary Supplement</i></b></p>
