Autorenporträt

Darren McGarvey, who is also known by the stage name Loki, grew up in Pollok on the south side of Glasgow. He is a writer, columnist, and rap recording artist who has made regular media appearances as a social commentator, including on the BBC and STV. In 2015, he became the first ever rapper-in residence at Police Scotland's Violence Reduction Unit, and he continues to work across Scotland in some of its most challenged communities. Poverty Safari, his first book, was a Sunday Times top ten bestseller. He lives in Glasgow.

Rezensionen

Part memoir, part polemic, this is a savage, wise and witty tour-de-force. An unflinching account of the realities of systemic poverty, Poverty Safari lays down challenges to both the left and right. It is hard to think of a more timely, powerful or necessary book. J.K. Rowling
