“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

“That rare thing: a properly funny novel, about the absurdity of the human in the workplace.” —Merve Emre, New Yorker critic and author of The Personality Brokers

“An incredible read. Philosophical, dark, experimental, full of social and political commentary and so darkly comedic. No one searches for meaning in the way May/Vancouver writer Anakana Schofield does. . . . For fans of Claire-Louise Bennett & Eimear McBride perhaps, with a little Kafkaesque sensibility. Truly original.” —Elaine Feeney, How to Build a Boat

“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
