Wimmy Road Boyz

'Compulsive, raw and searingly honest. An utterly original, unfiltered voice. A darkly witty story of Northern rude-bois coming of age: perfectly crafted, uncensored, totally real' NUSSAIBAH YOUNIS

'Freewheeling, risk-taking and ceaselessly fun, this intense, multi-voiced novel is immense in its ambition and singular in its achievement. It really is one hell of a ride' GURNAIK JOHAL

'The energy of Salam's work was beyond . . . dazzling in its daring and reach' JACQUELINE CROOKS

three boyz drive & dream
of an impossible night
on an endless street. . .

a white bimmer hurtles down manchester’s curry mile, carrying three brown boys in pursuit of a wild night out, oi oi oi!

there’s IMMY (23) – nursing mad heartbreak but tryna get over it by chirpsing someone new, hoping to distract from the scores of rage bubbling up beneath. . .

there’s KHAN (24) – cambridge-gangster on a mission to avenge, losing himself to old stereotypes, illegal ventures on the sly. . .

and there’s HARIS (24) – the sensitive type, getting married next week but having second thoughts, feeling mad para about his day ones discovering all his secrets.

it’s an evening of chaos and mischief. three boys with nothing to do and something to prove. of course there’s gonna be trouble.

and look, what the boys don’t know: this night might just be their last. . .

WIMMY ROAD BOYZ is a blistering story of masculinity, violence and love set over the course of a single, surreal night from a wholly original new British talent.
