I’m A Fan

Sheena Patel

An exhilarating, addictive and thrillingly original take on obsession, race, gender and power dynamics, through the lens of a corrosive relationship.

The story of an unnamed narrator’s involvement in a seemingly unequal romantic relationship. With a clear and unforgiving eye, Sheena Patel makes startling connections between the power struggles at the heart of human relationships and those of the wider world, offering a devastating critique of social media, access and patriarchal systems.

‘A fast, fizzing cherry bomb of a debut… mining the darkest depths of coercion, seduction and abuser dynamics’ Observer

‘Characteristically mesmerising, powerful, and finely observed’ Olivia Sudjic

‘A brutal, brilliant debut… Like nothing else I’ve read’ Guardian
