A Globe and Mail Spring 2026 Read

The long-anticipated, wildly inventive new novel by the Irish-Canadian writer whose previous work won the Amazon First Novel Award and was shortlisted for the Giller Prize and the Goldsmith’s Prize (UK).

“One of the most unique, most compelling voices in fiction.”
Toronto Star

“Like her absurdist compatriots – Beckett, Joyce, O’Brien – Schofield’s novels are existentially confounding, syntactically wild, and buckshot with wit.” —The Guardian (UK)

“Schofield’s style feels almost decadently addictive.” —The New Yorker


"Do you want to come in? Come here. Come in. Stop resisting. You are on the mat now. Just step over it. And in you come."

Enter Anakana Schofield’s bedazzling "Library of Brothel": a building perched in a city where jobs are scarce, no one can find a date, and many struggle just to be housed. Rumours swirl around the crumbling structure and rapacious developers have their eyes on it. But what we find inside is a unique economy: customers take shelter, workers love their professions, and each room offers a new kind of intellectual stimulation. How can such a precarious place survive?

Riotous, dramatic, passionate and funny, Library of Brothel is a cri de coeur for human connection and the right to meaningful work.

Recensioni della critica

Library of Brothel is a call to cultivate and protect human connections. . . . Challenging, thought-provoking, and funny.” —The Vancouver Sun

"Lib­rary of Brothel is a call to cul­tiv­ate and pro­tect human con­nec­tions . . . in an absurd­ist fash­ion, the novel warns of social extinc­tion as it holds a mir­ror up to today's tech-dom­in­ated, unaf­ford­able world." —The Province

“The latest from Irish Canadian Anakana Schofield . . . may be even bolder and more inventive than her Giller-nominated Martin John.” —Zoomer

Library of Brothel . . . is equal parts confounding, goofy, astute, and funny . . . [Schofield’s] work grows broader in its interests and more playful in its approach.” —Nathan Whitlock, The Walrus

“I am just in awe of Anakana Schofield. I read her like poetry, letting the accumulation of language and ideas to create something in my brain. I loved Library of Brothel.” —Yuri Herrera

“It's a proper achievement, and it's not like anything else.” —Eimear McBride
