Tilly Lloyd from Unity Books reviews Why Visit America by Matthew Baker, published by Bloomsbury.
A collection of stories that portray a future world within touching distance of our own. This is an America riven by the dilemmas confronting us - from ageing to consumerism, from drugs to internet culture, from prisons to babies - turned on their head. The back cover reliably describes Baker as one of the most darkly innovative and defiantly strange voices of the moment.
