Toby Litt recommends
The Matchbox Girl (2025)
Alice Jolly
"A couple of pages is all it took for me to fall completely under the sway of one of the most charismatic and companionable narrators I've ever come across. Adelheid Brunner, The Matchbox Girl, is a charming, anguished and urgent storyteller who whirls us away on an astonishing personal, generational and psychological adventure through the hidden worlds of war-threatened and war-wracked Vienna. This is a very special book."
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."
