Danny Denton recommends
Breakdown (2023)
Cathy Sweeney
"Cathy Sweeney is a 21st century Kafka, an Irish Ernaux. Breakdown is so vivid, so formally dazzling, and so startling. As with only the very, very best books, you will experience the world afresh having read this. It is a hugely important novel for the 21st century."
We Are Not in The World (2021)
Conor O'Callaghan
"Intimate, gripping, stunning – having read this, the rest of us writers all have to raise our games now."
This Happy (2020)
Niamh Campbell
"This is an exquisite thing. A book beautiful with real, lived-in feelings and blustery living weather. It's profoundly atmospheric, and a brilliant treatise on memory, the fleeting movement of time and the fluid dynamics of romantic relationships. It feels at once forensic and yet deeply passionate, detached and yet profoundly moving. It's wry as fuck. It provokes the awed re-reading of sentences and paragraphs, over and over."
