Guardian First Book Award reader nominations: Precocious by Adam Lowe
A vivid picture of emotions, deeply felt, but with a clear-eyed view of the ways we humans live, love and sometimes betray. In “Traces of Invasion”, the first line “I started with your sock drawer, looking for clues” tells us all we need to know about nagging suspicion in a relationship, before ending with the damning fall of the polaroid, “like it was buried treasure”. Acerbic humour peeks through in Mary, who declares “This time I’ll rely on a real man” and demands “a shy child, all burps and cuddles; flesh, not thorns”, ending delightfully with “Next time, try Madonna.”
We can’t wait to see what else Adam has in store for the Wattpad community!
