Description
Skye Papers by Jamika Ajalon is a dreamy and experimental portrait of young Black artists in 1990s London's underground scene. Against the backdrop of rising state surveillance, Skye navigates a world of fluid identity, poetry, and queerness. Her journey takes an unlikely turn when she meets Scottie and Pieces, kindred spirits who share her Black, punk, and whimsical sensibilities. As Skye's life becomes increasingly intertwined with theirs, they find themselves caught in the midst of a subterranean art scene that is both glorious and precarious. The boundaries between creativity and surveillance begin to blur, threatening their very existence. In fluid prose, Jamika Ajalon explores the complexities of youth, identity, and queerness. This novel offers an imaginative and episodic group portrait of a transatlantic art scene spearheaded by people of color, set against the backdrop of a fraught, dystopian reality.
