I Want to Talk to You

Luminously questioning, always intelligent and unafraid of confronting the impact others can have on us

ORE AGBAJE-WILLIAMS, author of The Three of Us

A celebration of a career that has been anything but ordinary and an intellectual mind forever evolving. A blueprint for all of us straddling between fiction and journalism, who want to create meaningful, transcendent work

CHARLIE BRINKHURST-CUFF, editor of Mother Country

An intimate and moving meditation on the mysteries of writing and the pleasures of reading. Elegant in tone and finely wrought in form, it is a deeply insightful, and also profoundly enjoyable, collection

EKOW ESHUN, author of The Strangers

There is a depth and integrity to Diana Evans’s writing; every piece feels beautifully sewn together and complete

BERNARDINE EVARISTO

Evans’s nonfiction marries that faith in the value of subjective experience to a fierce intellect; the result is a fascinating overview not only of a writer’s evolution but of the shifts in our understanding of art as…"activism and community"

Stephanie Merritt, Observer

Thoughtfully layered pieces... deeply personal

Megan Conner, Red

A pleasure and an invigoration

Alex Clark, Guardian

Perceptive and empathetic... This was always going to be a book that grabs you by the lapels and insists on you listening but all the same, you do emerge impressed and better informed -- and also kind of windswept and happy

Sue Gaisford, Financial Times

A writer at the top of her game

Leone Ross, on A House for Alice

A lyrical and glorious writer

Naomi Alderman

Evans is always, always on the finest of forms

Candice Carty-Williams

One of our most outstanding writers
