Will Self recommends
W9 and Other Lives (1996) Carlo Gébler "Gébler's pellucid prose style is the perfect instrument with which to probe a reader's heart." |  London Orbital (2002) Iain Sinclair "Sinclair's recent work represents some of the most important in contemporary English letters'." |  East of Islington (2007) Sam Taylor "Fiendishly funny and devastatingly acute." | |
 Skin Lane (2007) Neil Bartlett "A fiendishly taut little psycho-shocker." | Old Men in Love (2007) Alasdair Gray "He's the very best Alasdair Gray that we have, and we should cherish his works accordingly." | A Clockwork Apple (2008) Belinda Webb "A dazzling new voice bursts through the tired old glass ceiling of English fiction. Belinda Webb is a writer to watch." | |
The Grid (2008) Jeremy Reed "A wild, minatory, extravagantly delusional work of poetic brilliance." | The Sunshine Years (2013) Afsaneh Knight "Refreshing." |
