@BBCFrontRow
this evening to discuss his new novel SEESAW, satire, academia, and the conversations we should be having now about museums and colonial history 👂👏
Alan Rossi’s prose is stylistically bold, his characters real, his storytelling immersive and hard to forget. MOUNTAIN ROAD, LATE AT NIGHT is a very special novel. Fingers crossed readers feel the same!

'Some of the nuns were outside gardening. What they saw was this: a squat-looking girl with a tablecloth pinned to her head, kneeling at the gates, then falling on her face.
There she is: Dolores.'

I really loved Dolores by Lauren Aimee Curtis, a funny, unique, affecting and bittersweet short gem of a novel. One hot day, a young American girl kneels outside a convent in Spain, then falls on her face. When the nuns take her in, they name her Dolores. A baby grows inside her.
‘He made a sound, drew closer, and in a conspiratorial voice said, “Funny, we are the only BAMEs here.”
“BAM?” I asked, trying hard to conceal my ignorance.
“BAME,” he said again, pronouncing it the way I heard it.’
New writing by Timothy Ogene.
SO excited to finally announce that my debut novel, the situationship, will be published by
