Reid uses a wonderful premise through which to explore these issues, which have been so talked about this year – on both sides of the Atlantic. As a book group choice, it was brilliant, so many things to talk about, so many big issues, ambiguities and thought provoking moments to discuss. Such a Fun Age is an enormously clever satire of white privilege, racism and wokeness in twenty-first century America. It is a very modern narrative, perhaps more so than I usually read, but one of the first things I noticed was how authentic the narrative voice is for this novel.
Chosen by my book group as our October read Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid was longlisted for this year’s Booker Prize.
