Review: The Weekend by Charlotte Wood
A hilarious novel about mortality and ageing.
Review: The Man Who Saw Everything by Deborah Levy
At the beating heart of this time-bending novel is love – platonic, romantic, parental – and its various betrayals.
Review: Watchtower by Elizabeth A. Lynn
A strange, rather beautiful and ultimately quietly devastating novel.
Review: The Bell by Iris Murdoch
The Bell is like a delicious and unlikely combination of two Luca Guadagnino films: Call Me By Your Name and Suspiria.
Review: Blakwork by Alison Whittaker
Whittaker’s poetic language is urgent but timeless, vernacular but formally rigorous, totally unique.

Review: Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo
Girl, Woman, Other is a book intensely concerned with the politics of identity and creativity, and how they have shifted over the 20th century.
Review: Damascus by Christos Tsolkias
Caravaggio perfected painting people at the exact moment when dark gives way to light. In Damascus, Tsolkias achieves the same effect in words.
Review: The Pillars by Peter Polites
The Pillars is a novel where property power is everything and each word seems to take on a menacing aura.
