About the author
Rebecca Perry is a British poet and novelist whose writing pays close attention to objects, arrangement, memory, and the authority created by naming things. May We Feed the King is her first novel.
The book moves between a present-day heritage curator preparing a historical display and an imagined medieval court. Replica food, preserved rooms, and anonymous roles become a way to ask who gets to compose the past for everyone else.
Where to start
Start with May We Feed the King for Perry's brief, formally intricate novel about curation, power, and the making of historical narrative.
