Téa Mutonji is named a 2022 Writers’ Trust Rising Star

Téa Mutonji has been named a 2022 Writers’ Trust Rising Star by author André Alexis.

André Alexis on Téa Mutonji: "What I admired most when I read Mutonji’s SHUT UP YOU’RE PRETTY was the subtlety of detail, the way power and longing are related, and the extraordinary control of her language. It is a wonderful first book, a great collection of stories filled with promise. I feel honoured to be able to read her next work before anyone else and I look forward to learning from her."
