“I’m not aware of any other contemporary writer, certainly not one who’s emerged from the ‘transgressive’ corner of indie literature, who is interested in trading dystopia for theatrical positivity. Despite attempts to develop their own style and narrative complexities, most writers feed into the zeitgeist. In the 2020s, that means socio-political upheaval, climatological disaster, the fracturing and doubling down of gender and identity politics, reactionary provocation, late stage capitalism, and so on.
Omar, on the other hand, leads us from depravity into song.”
—Chris Zeischegg, author of The Magician and Creation: On Art And Unbecoming.
