Escape Routes (book) explained

Escape Routes is the debut collection of short stories from author Naomi Ishiguro.[1] The 2020 publication from Tinder Press consists of eight short stories and a novella, all with somewhat fantastical themes.[2] [3] One reviewer praised "her audacious talent and her ability to satirise the modern world."[4] While reviewers generally liked the work, they found some stories to be more successful than others: particularly the novella, "The Rat Catcher," was criticised as "overextended".[2] [5]

Ishiguro is the daughter of Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro and had studied English at University College London before pursuing a master's degree in creative writing at the University of East Anglia.[2]
