What Will It Take for Me to Leave

In Loranne Vella's 'What Will it Take For Me to Leave', shortlisted for the 2021 National Book Prize of Malta, everyone is a player in a game. A multitude of figures and disembodied voices barter the terms of relationships, solve puzzles, set riddles, play hide-and-seek - they will do anything to come out on top, even cheat themselves of the truth.
