Following her involvement in a liquor store robbery during her youth, Carlotta Mercedes has been in a men's prison for twenty-three years. Now she has finally been released and is heading home to the newly gentrified Brooklyn, re-entering the orbit of her ambivalent son and adjusting to life as a quasi-free woman, restricted by parole rulings and the hostility of contemporary New York.
Loosely inspired by James Joyce's Ulysses, Didn't Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta is a stylish, inventive tale of belonging from the author of the PEN/Faulkner Award winner Delicious Foods.
'Hannaham's prose is gloriously dense and full of elegant observations.' - Roxanne Gay
