Venous Hum

• like other Arsenal fiction authors Hiromi Goto, Larissa Lai, and Ashok Mathur, Suzette is a contemporary novelist who deals with issues of race, gender, sexuality, and identity • Suzette's first two books, Moon Honey and The Widows, were published to great critical acclaim by NeWest Press • Venous Hum is a satirical novel that defies our expectations of predictable behaviour, smashing racial, gender, and vegetarian stereotypes along the way • Suzette's writing is a cross between Jeanette Winterson and Stephen King; Kurt Vonnegut is another good comparison: political, timely, and downright funny
