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. Patel offers a devastating critique of access, social media, and patriarchal heteronormative relationships.
