Who They Was

This critically acclaimed book was longlisted for the Booker Prize 2020. It offers a raw and immersive portrayal of the Top Boy generation, capturing its culture with unparalleled depth and unflinching honesty. As noted by author Graeme Armstrong, this work is a testament to the power of lived experience. In the words of author Cathy Rentzenbrink, it is an astonishingly powerful book. In this "ocean" of life, some may swim towards the bottom, others may briefly touch it and then push themselves back up to the surface. And then there are those who reach the bottom and choose to stay there.
