Antonia S Byatt recommends
 Holiday (1974) Stanley Middleton "At first glance, or even at second, Stanley Middleton's world is easily recognizable. The excellence of art, for Middleton, is an exact vision of real things as they are. And because he is himself so exact an observer, his world at third glance can seem strange and disturbing or newly and brilliantly lit with colour." |  In the Place of Fallen Leaves (1993) Tim Pears "Constantly delightful and constantly surprising…This novel is something completely new and exciting…Comic and wry and elegiac and shrewd and thoughtful all at once. Please read it." |  Hallucinating Foucault (1996) Patricia Duncker "One of the best novels of the year." | |
 Impossible Saints (1997) Michèle Roberts "Wicked and delicious." |  All Souls' Day (2001) Cees Nooteboom "Nooteboom is one of the great modern novelists." |  Hey Yeah Right Get a Life (2001) Helen Simpson "It is the book’s truthfulness that makes it both intensely tragic and intensely comic." | |
 Runaway (2004) Alice Munro "The greatest living short story writer." |
