I’m a Fan

Sheena Patel is a writer and assistant director for film and television, and part of the acclaimed poetry collective 4 Brown Girls Who Write. In Patel’s book debut, ‘I’m a Fan’, the narrator uses the story of their experience in a seemingly unequal and unfaithful relationship as a prism through which to examine the complicated hold we have on one another. With a clear and unforgiving eye, she dissects the behaviour of all involved, herself included, and makes startling connections between the power struggles in human relationships and those of the wider world.
