'Exhilarating' MAX PORTER
'Brutal, brave and beautifully written' YOMI ADEGOKE
'Razor-sharp' CALEB FEMI
Vanessa Kisuule's fixation with Michael Jackson once gave her great joy, but now it keeps her up at night. In her bracingly honest, energetic and lively book she explores the fall-out from that fandom and how, or if, we can hold people to account whilst loving them at the same time.
As debates rage on about abusive public figures, Kisuule asks not just if we should separate the art from the artist, but how this moral conundrum informs the way we shape our relationships, families and notions of social justice. Witty, poetic and with references to R. Kelly, Britney Spears and a host of other famous faces, Neverland is both an ardent love letter to the music we adore and an unflinching look at the costs of hero worship.
