Von der hinteren Coverseite

'I put no name to those feelings, that frantic, carnal energy. I subsumed it all into my play, into what mattered, what would come to define and save me.'

Praise for The Art of the Body:

'What a brilliant book! I tore through it. Brutal, tender, philosophical, visceral, complex and so well written. This is one of those books that sneaks under your skin and expands you. Sheer brilliance.' Emma Jane Unsworth

'A bold, unflinching debut . . . Finely written and thoughtfully devised' Guardian

'Raw and powerful' Image

Aus dem Klappentext

Samson Kabarebe is on the verge of stardom. At just nineteen, he's poised to take the football world by storm. Joining a struggling Premier League team, he steps into the spotlight, taking over the position-and squad number-of a rising homegrown talent who is wrestling with his own dreams and desires.

What begins as resentment between the two young athletes quickly evolves into an intense, undeniable bond. Samson's fiery drive, electrifying skills, and irresistible charm spark a transformation, not just in the fortunes of the team, but in the lives around him. As their connection deepens, the story hurtles into a high-stakes world of competition, passion, and raw want. Both men are forced to confront the pressures of masculinity, the ever-present threat of scandal, and the fragile balance of living in a body that could betray you at any moment.

With humour, heart, and a touch of rebellion, this tender novel explores queer love and the trials of growing up in the hyper-masculine world of sport.
