Spent Light – Shortlisted for The Goldsmiths Prize 2024

Lara Pawson

A woman contemplates her hand-me-down toaster and suddenly the whole world erupts into her kitchen, in all its brutality and loveliness: global networks of resource extraction and forced labour, technologies of industrial murder, histories of genocide, alongside traditions of craft, the pleasures of convenience and dexterity, the giving and receiving of affection and care.

Other books This Is the Place to Be (2016), shortlisted for the 2017 PEN Ackerley Prize, the Bread & Roses Award for Radical Publishing and the Gordon Burn Prize
