An American girl dreams of soccer and Mardi Gras while her Nigerian parents wait for their green cards; an organic seed distributor entraps an errant lover with a replica pre-Columbian Aztec artefact bought in Chicago; an instrument-gardener harvests the sound of a dead woman; a matchmaker faces failure unless she s prepared to offer herself; an English girl finds herself adrift in a Welsh summer camp; a blind beggar scrambles for change at a South American crossroads, and a Moroccan mother wonders if her son is really a saint. The stories in x-24 transcend location, nationality, reality and time; disconcerting at times for their sheer irreverence, each tale has that quality of rare insight that makes for compelling reading.

About the Author:
The fifteen stories in this anthology are contributed by the writers, Niki Aguirre, Daniel Alarcón (Whiting Award winner), Naomi Alderman (Orange Award winner), Mohammed Naseehu Ali, Sefi Atta (Caine Prize Shortlist), Julia Bell, Gaylene Gould, Peter Hobbs (Whitbread Prize Shortlist & Betty Trask Award), Mecca Jamilah Sullivan, Jennifer Kabat, Laila Lalami (Caine Prize Shortlist), Ken Nash, Claire Sharland, t. tara turk, and Clare Wigfall. Though all at different stages of their careers, their work bubbles with range and urgency, and they share a key trait - they are absolutely compelling story tellers.
Review:
This is a rare anthology that is as much a celebration of new literary talent as it is of the range and internationalism of contemporary English literature. --Hisham Matar
