About the author
Luke Kennard is a British poet and novelist whose writing mixes comic precision, unease, self-questioning, and sudden shifts in form. His poetry collections and novels often place articulate narrators in situations where language does not give them the control they expect.
Black Bag uses the machinery of surveillance and suspense while keeping attention on the ordinary compromises people make around secrecy. The tension comes from both the operation and the stories its participants tell themselves.
Where to start
Start with Black Bag for Kennard's literary take on secrecy, observation, and the unstable boundary between a role and the person performing it.
