Toby Litt recommends
Clinical Intimacy (2024)
Ewan Gass
"Intimate, intricate, emotional and gripping - like an analytic Cubist portrait of a mysterious and charismatic figure, S, who we get to know through fractured glimpses - Clinical Intimacy is one of the best first novels I've read in a long while."
Maxwell's Demon (2021)
Steven Hall
"I enjoyed Maxwell's Demon a great deal. Anyone who enjoyed The Raw Shark Texts will be delighted by it."
Borne (2017)
(Borne, book 1)
Jeff VanderMeer
"From being a very successful SF writer, VanderMeer will become mainstream and Borne is full of signs that he is already thinking ahead of that easy transition, and perhaps subverting it."
