And I also loved 'Small Things Like These', a powerful, troubling novella from Claire Keegan. Decency vs. corruption in a small community, told in immaculate, spare prose. Fascinating interview here with @carmitstead @faberbooks https://t.co/0LpUh6bYPC

My Phantoms

Gwendoline Riley

One of my favourite novels of last year ... Gwendoline Riley’s My Phantoms is brilliantly funny, sharp and slender. She’s an exceptional writer, a modern Muriel Spark.
