Paul Murray recommends
Choice (2024)
Neel Mukherjee
"A searing indictment of neoliberal folly, a profound and beautiful meditation on compassion, Choice is exactly the kind of novel we need now-the kind that nobody but Neel Mukherjee can write."
The End of Nightwork (2023)
Aidan Cottrell-Boyce
"A strange and wonderful debut. A meditation on history and a lovingly-drawn portrait of a marriage, Aidan Cottrell-Boyce's novel goes straight to the anxious heart of our present, preapocalyptic moment with grace, wisdom, empathy and a boatload of brilliant one-liners."
Teen Couple Have Fun Outdoors (2022)
Aravind Jayan
"Laugh-out-loud funny - a beguiling debut by a writer of great charm."
