The magical elements complement the stories, which pulse with inventiveness and humour. I also enjoyed the playfulness of Manglish.

In between significant and smaller blind spots—including, like Goethe, promoting a stalker's idea of love—is a work of phenomenal imagination. It's the most absorbing book of the three, and excitingly explores ideas of humans in time and space.

My favourite of the trilogy. I laughed and smiled often while reading this. Eden Robinson does an amazing job at warmly folding you into the lives of these characters.

Walia synthesises swirling frameworks of social justice, shares practical aspects of activism, and calls on us to overgrow the logics of capitalism and colonialism.

"Border imperialism is structured first by the free flow of Western capital and plunder which creates mass displacements, while simultaneously securing Western borders against the very people who capitalism and empire have dispossessed and impoverished; second, criminalizing migrants through their construction as deviants and illegals, which also ensures profits for companies that receive contracts for border militarization and migrant detention; third, the entrenchment of a racialized hierarchy of citizenship by arbitrating who legitimately constitutes the nation-state; and fourth, the legal denial of permanent residency to a growing number of migrants to ensure a precarious, exploitable, and expendable pool of labor."
