The Museum of Unconditional Surrender
Dubravka UgresicRichard SkinnerI am shocked & sad to hear of the passing of the wonderful Dubravka Ugrešić. I never met her but I reviewed her novel, ‘The Museum of Unconditional Surrender’, for the FT back in the day. What a spirited, committed writer she was. So fearless, so varied, so funny, so human. 🙏 https://t.co/yIfrnMg5xq

Threshold
Rob DoyleRichard Skinner@louisapoet It’s a blurry sub-genre to define but ‘autofiction’ could be seen as a shortened version of ‘autobiographical fiction’. But the self is used in a highly experimental way. Rob Doyle’s recent book ‘Threshold’ is a good example.
