David Peace recommends

The Motel Life (2006)
Willy Vlautin
"The finest American novel I've read in some time, so simple, so spare and so honest."

12:23 (2007)
Eoin McNamee
"Utterly compelling, McNamee's dramatising of the conspiracies and the obsessions around the tragic events of that night is brilliant and, as ever, poetic."

The Death of Bunny Munro (2009)
Nick Cave
"Cocksman, Salesman, Deadman; Bunny Munro might not be Everyman, but every man ought to read this book. And read it half in stitches, half in tears."

The Butchers of Berlin (2016)
(Schlegel and Morgen, book 1)
Chris Petit
"One of Britain's most visionary writers."

The Cat and The City (2020)
Nick Bradley
"In a very impressive, finely observed debut, Nick Bradley masterfully weaves together seemingly disparate threads to conjure up a vivid tapestry of Tokyo; its glory, its shame, its characters, and a calico cat."
