I'm in a phase I occasionally get of reading a few books at once:
David Keenan: This is Memorial Device
Robert Lipsyte: SportsWorld
Jean Rhys: The Collected Short Stories
Just finished Ijoma Mangold's brilliant memoir Das Deutsche Krokodil, about growing up half-German, half-Nigerian in Heidelberg while barely being conscious of his skin colour because his Nigerian dad left when he was a baby, and his German mum (he later found out) protected him from the few snippets of prejudice he might otherwise have encountered. Very funny, extremely honest.
