Recensione
The Dirty South accurately depicts the complexities of a life growing up in many urban areas... a thoughtful novel. Part love story, part social commentary (Andrea Enisuoh New Nation)
Wheatle is a man with a mission. He believes that truth has to be articulated... Good stuff. (Sunday Express)
Wheatle conjures up a slice of black South London that is authentic, witty and gritty. (The Times)
Interesting... an entertaining - and occasionally engrossing - read. (Time Out)
Gripping. (Shortlist)
He's given a potent fictional voice to the often marginalised world of black urban youth. His writing is rich in the ever-changing dialogue of the streets... Wheatle illuminates the conflicted notions of masculinity, the lack of social opportunity and the smouldering gang violence that frame his characters' lives, while evoking the colourful, often pitiless landscape of Brixton. (Metro)
Witty and off-centre... Wheatle's style holds no prisoners and it's a story that's easy to relate to. (Life in Colour)
Refreshing... empowered with a blistering narrative voice, filled with the anger and desperation of marginalised youth... Wheatle is a sharp-eyed observer... he fills every page with hard-boiled authenticity... a welcome treat for fans of his oeuvre. (Courttia Newland Guardian)
