Wimmy Road Boyz

Compulsive, raw and searingly honest. An utterly original, unfiltered voice. A darkly witty story of Northern rude-bois coming of age: perfectly crafted, uncensored, totally real -- Nussaibah Younis Freewheeling, risk-taking and ceaselessly fun, this intense, multi-voiced novel is immense in its ambition and singular in its achievement. It really is one hell of a ride -- Gurnaik Johal A landmark debut that will inspire many books after it. Salam’s prose flows with wit and feeling. You will love Wimmy Road Boyz. -- Nicola Dinan Wimmy Road Boyz has a rhythm and style all its own, pushing the boundaries of language, full of storytelling energy and voices that feel true to the lives Salam has expertly created. A novel no one else could have written, Sufiyaan Salam is a writer I hope to see keep pushing the boundaries of what contemporary fiction can show us -- Derek Owusu Sufiyaan Salam is the sort of writer where his age astounds. That someone so young could write something so chaotically brilliant, ingenious, and utterly dazzling is a feat in itself. WIMMY ROAD BOYZ is an intense cacophonous ride easily read and not easily forgotten, a polyphonic narrative of epic proportions -- Kasim Ali An energetic-livewire masterpiece -- Nikesh Shukla 'The energy of Salam's work was beyond . . . dazzling in its daring and reach' -- Jacqueline Crooks
