‘Immersive, character driven, representative of experiences not often written about and varied […] his command of language is also clear - in the most part Camara has a very subtle way of writing that is all the more powerful for its delicacy. He manages to discuss powerful issues without telling the reader that he is doing so - you come away with a sense that you’ve read a great story which has also made you think.’
~ Eloisa Clegg, Editor at Penguin Books
‘These stories are just absolutely incredible. Mind blowing. Heart resonating.’
~ James Diaz, Editor-in-Chief at Anti-Heroin Chic
