The Jive Talker or, How to Get a British Passport
Samson Kambalu
Jonathan Cape, £16.99 in UK
What an odd jumble of a book this is. Samson Kambalu is a conceptual artist who was born in Malawi in 1975. He moved to the UK in 2000 via The Netherlands. His work centres on a religious philosophy that involves sun worship and plastering pages of the Bible on to footballs to create "holy balls" that are then used to "exercise and exorcise".
