فقدان السيطرة

A lively and honest book that explores the anguish of the migration experience and the turmoil it can transmit across generations, by winner Desmond Elliott. Derek Owusu has been named one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists of 2023, and is longlisted for the Galack Prize 2023, longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize 2023, shortlisted for the People's Book Award - Fiction Category 2023, and longlisted for the Diverse Book Awards 2023. * Diana Evans says: “Mysterious, emotional and elegantly written depiction A strong relationship between a mother and her son... a story close to the heart.” Motivated by a deep desire to understand his mother's life before his birth, Derek Owusu offers a moving account of her journey. As she moves from Ghana to the UK and experiences motherhood in a strange and often lonely environment, the effects of her displacement extend across generations. “Losing the Plot” tells the story through the eyes of a mother and son, and is both raw, emotional and hilarious, as Oso experiments with different forms of piecing together the immigrant experience and explores how the stories we share and tell ourselves are just as important as the ones we don't tell.
