“Defiant, compassionate and compulsively readable, Earthly Playing Field finds an exquisite balance between speculative fiction and urgent political insight. That Singh deftly brings this all together into a thrilling narrative is resounding testament to this writer's striking talents.” —Maaza Mengiste, author of The Shadow King, Shortlisted for the Booker Prize

“Earthly Playing Field is not just a novel. It is a library of revolutionary possibility that meets us where we are and where we could be.” —Alexis Pauline Gumbs, author of Survival Is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde

“One of the hallmarks of modernism was to separate the spiritual from the political. Given that the birth of modernism is deeply intertwined with colonialism, this separation also benefited the colonizers and the imperialists. In an act of resistance, Radhika Singh’s Earthly Playing Field beautifully bridges this artificial divide between the spiritual and the political and highlights that one cannot exist without the other.” —Haroon Khalid, author of Walking with Nanak
