Marlon James's Bleak but Beautiful Quest for Visibility Marlon James's latest novel, The Disappearers, is a powerful exploration of art's ability to reflect and challenge the harsh realities of our world.
Set in 1980s Kingston, Jamaica, this deeply affecting work tells the story of a group of queer men who dare to be seen, even as they risk everything to do so.
James's decision to return to realism after exploring fantastical worlds in his Dark Star Trilogy is significant.
