Excellently mad book from the inimitable Katharina Volckmer 😙 👌
@PressIndigoThe
What an amazing book. Amazing feat really. So clear, concise, conversational but at the same time startling, strange, deeply moving.

Just finished this moving, startlingly original novel, which subtly slips a needle under the skin of the present moment & wiggles it about to devastating effect. At one level the portrait of a marriage, at another it’s a meditation on our anxieties about time, ageing, & - by juxtaposing the apocalyptic mood of C17th with our own – the end of history. Strongly recommended. @acottrellboyce @GrantaBooks

What a great night listening to Gabriel Flynn discuss his debut novel Poor Ghost with @acottrellboyce. Touching on class, storytelling and Gabriel's evocative depiction of Manchester (fishing for hand grenades with magnets, anyone?). Pick up a signed copy while you can!

Next Thursday we are excited to host a cohort of scholars for a symposium as part of a British Academy funded project on "British Israelism and the Imperial Imagination." One of our contributors, @acottrellboyce, offers an overview of the subject: cdamm.org/articles/british-i…
This is a wonderful book. Psychedelic and alien yet recognisable, moving, precise. Many congratulations @PeirenePress @kristinereffstrup

'The Accidental Immigrants is a triumph: ferociously political and yet deeply personal, it is soaring feat of the imagination, tethered firmly to the here and now' @acottrellboyce

Fun and Games by John Patrick McHugh is essentially unputdownable in my view. So moving, so believable, so unsparing of yet merciful towards its characters. Funny and heartbreaking (what more can you ask for?).
Such a joy to read this book. It is funny and angry and pacy and timely. Nicola Barker really and truly is one of the biggest imaginations in the business.
I was amazed by this book. Completely convincing world building, propulsive plot but most importantly so profoundly personalist, political, serious-minded. It’s a soaring feat of imagination tethered firmly to the present. Congratulations @Ofmooseandmen and @JoMcMillan
