We’ve teamed up with our friends at Birmingham-based publisher THE EMMA PRESS to bring you an evening with London-based Malaysian author KWAN ANN TAN opening up on her speculative, haunting & highly experimental new novel THE WAITER, where you, the reader, find yourself in a not-too-distant future navigating your own way towards any of one of 12 possible endings.

The event will be chaired by writer & director of The Emma Press, JAMES TREVELYAN.

KWAN ANN TAN is originally from Malaysia but currently based in London. Her work has previously been published in The Offing, Joyland Magazine, and Sine Theta Magazine. She won the 2023 Bournemouth Writing competition and is an alumnus of the Tin House Winter Workshop. She lives in London.

Organized by

Voce Books is a new independent bookshop for Birmingham, located at The Warehouse in Digbeth. We focus on the vibrant and boundary-breaking independent publishing scene, the site of some of the most eclectic and future-focused writing. We stock fiction, translations, poetry, the most interesting titles on culture and politics, magazines, zines & a little bit of art.

New books. New voices.

We believe that the best books have their own unique character, their own specific and distinctive voice, hence our name, Voce: the Italian word for voice. With carefully curated shelves categorised by individual publisher and two experienced booksellers dedicated to recommending books that showcase the true breadth and diversity of the independent publishing landscape both at home and across the world, Voce Books is an entirely contemporary and inclusive book space, inspired by the new, the unusual and the unexpected.
