Miranda Rae meets with Author Caleb Azumah Nelson

OPEN WATER by Caleb Azumah Nelson is a stunning, shattering debut novel about two Black British artists falling in and out of love in contemporary London. It explores race, love, masculinity, violence, vulnerability and what it means to be a person in a world that sees you only as a black body – with a soulful intensity that will make your heart race. I inhaled it in one sitting and I’m on my second reading now, this time with the incredible music from the story playing in my headphones as I mull over Caleb’s words!

Caleb has also been shortlisted for the BBC National Short Story prize – winner announced 6 October. Previous alumni include Zadie Smith and Hilary Mantel.
