David Peace recommends
The North of England Home Service (2003) Gordon Burn "The best british writer there is." | 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 Murder Farm (2008) Andrea Maria Schenkel "Haunting, compulsive and unforgettable." | 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." | Weirdo (2012) Cathi Unsworth "The First Lady of Noir Fiction." | |
