Ian McEwan recommends

Fast Lanes (1984)
Jayne Anne Phillips
"A brilliant writer, utterly original and with astonishing range."

The Stories of Raymond Carver (1985)
Raymond Carver
"Raymond Carver's terse, gloomily funny short stories are a delight."

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (2002)
Mark Haddon
"Mark Haddon's portrayal of an emotionally dissociated mind is a superb achievement. He is a wise and bleakly funny writer with rare gifts of empathy."

More Dynamite (2013)
Craig Raine
"Raine the critic, like Raine the poet, is incapable of a dull thought."

Ponti (2018)
Sharlene Teo
"Remarkable . . . With brilliant descriptive power and human warmth, Sharlene Teo summons the darker currents of modernity environmental degradation, the suffocating allure of the sparkling modern city and its cataracts of commodities and corrupted language. Against this, her characters glow with life and humour and minutely observed desperation."

Tyll (2020)
Daniel Kehlmann
"A masterly achievement, a work of imaginative grandeur and complete artistic control."

The Hummingbird (2021)
Sandro Veronesi
"Masterly: a cabinet of curiosities and delights, packed with small wonders."

We Had To Remove This Post (2022)
Hanna Bervoets
"The dank underside of social media, its cruelty and delusions, have become, our shared affliction. It needed an accomplished novelist to explore humanely the damage. Hanna Bervoets has richly obliged in this superbly poised, psychologically astute and subtle novel of mental unravelling. At its wonderful, hallucinatory climax, Kayleigh, the shattered protagonist, asks on our behalf the one true question, and the spellbound reader will usefully struggle for an answer."

Cocoon (2022)
Zhang Yueran
"Cocoon is a stupendous novel, a beautiful and formidable achievement on the grandest scale. Its ruthless psychological realism is wondrously amplified by Zhang Yueran's magical powers of description. Zhang Yueran's scenes and images have an unworldly gleam of both hard-won insight and timeless truth. The novel is a triumph."
