Andrew O'Hagan recommends
Something Rotten (2025)
Andrew Lipstein
"Few novels are willing to confront the stormy waters that lie between personhood, parenthood, the imagined life, and reality. Our best novelists have it all right in front of them, if they possess the talent to look up and see. There may be something rotten in the state of Denmark, or the state of manhood, but the net result in Something Rotten is a book about a vacation that is both outrageous and very funny. Sometimes, in these ultra-serious times, we are apt to forget that fiction, in its origins, is a comic form. Andrew Lipstein provides a reminder, and his latest novel is a brilliant antidote to the nonsense of now."
Frankie (2024)
Graham Norton
"Frankie is a perfect song of a book and everyone who likes human beings should read it."
Glasgow Boys (2024)
Margaret McDonald
"What a lovely book. Glasgow Boys is tenderness itself, a song to love and friendship. I really cared about Finlay and Banjo and all the flesh-and-blood people around them, wishing them all the best. Margaret McDonald is a terrific new talent and I encourage you to buy this novel for everyone who makes you smile."
