‘Ice Shock’ release: novel by Wolfson GBF hits UK shelves

Set for release on Monday, 2nd March, Ice Shock is the latest novel by Professor Elleke Boehmer.

Ice Shock is a love story. Set in 2010, it charts the relationship – at a distance – of two twenty-somethings. Ice Shock asks what it means to stay close even when we are far apart – and how love can endure, in a world changing catastrophically by the day.

“Ice Shock is a propulsive and eerie love story told frame by perilous frame. Threat lurks everywhere in the gaps, beneath surfaces that shift constantly like the melting ice floes of the characters’ real and imagined Antarctic worlds.”
Jason Allen-Paisant, winner of the Forward Prize and T. S. Eliot Prize in 2023

Elleke is a Wolfson Governing Body Fellow, Professor of World Literature in English and Executive Director of OCLW.
