Lionel Shriver recommends
The Vegan (2023)
Andrew Lipstein
"The Vegan is the weirdest novel I've read in ages. In a good way. A genre unto itself. Skillfully written and strangely addictive."
Vladimir (2022)
Julia May Jonas
"Droll, dry, and pacy, Vladimir is deliciously unsparing and enormous fun."
Outside Looking In (2019)
T C Boyle
"By far and away one of the most inventive, adventurous and accomplished fiction writers in the US today ... A mesmerising storyteller."
