About The Author
Ania Bas
Ania Bas grew up in Poland and moved to the UK 15 years ago to pursue a career in the arts. She has worked with Tate, Whitechapel Gallery and others as a socially engaged artist and arts organiser, working directly with disadvantaged communities to help them have their voices heard and realities understood. She began writing Odd Hours on the Faber Academy ‘Writing a Novel’ course. It is inspired by her early experiences in the UK: as a tenant in an eight-person house share (with one bathroom), years in low-paid jobs, and multiple encounters of xenophobia.
