Jenn Ashworth recommends
Calypso (2024)
Oliver K Langmead
"It's been a long time since I've read a book so bold and lush, so skilled at making and remaking vibrant and richly imagined worlds, and yet so attentive to vulnerability - it was such an ultimately tender read."
The Gospel of Orla (2023)
Eoghan Walls
"The Gospel of Orla is an astonishing feat of characterisation and storytelling. The prose is both earthy and sparkling and the story--equal parts bravado and vulnerability--is told with both wit and tenderness. Everyone should read this."
The Perfect Golden Circle (2022)
Benjamin Myers
"A strange, magical extraordinary book. It's so atmospheric, so strange and affecting. I don't think I've ever read anything quite like it before, and I'm not sure how Myers has made it work, but he has - I was totally gripped by this."
