Henrietta Rose-Innes has written a piece for Female First upon the United Kingdom release of her book Green Lion.

Green Lion was published locally by Umuzi in 2016, and was shortlisted for the Sunday Times Barry Ronge Fiction Prize. A French edition, L’Homme au Lion, was published by Editions Zoe in 2016.

The novel will be published in the UK by Aardvark Bureau, and will be launched at the Edinburgh International Book Fair this week.

In the interview, Rose-Innes reveals 10 things she’d like her readers to know about her, including the working title of her next novel:

I think of this new book as the last in a very loose trilogy, beginning with Nineveh (insects, swampland, security estates), continuing with Green Lion (mammals, mountains, zoos) and culminating in what I’m calling Stone Plant (succulents, urban wasteland, airports). Not sure where to go after that. Fungus? Or maybe an asteroid devoid of all life.
