Review: The Essential Emily Dickinson (selected by Joyce Carol Oates)

Strange, precise and elusive poetry.

Review: Things I Don’t Want To Know by Deborah Levy

Deborah Levy concisely summarises what makes her own writing so compelling.

The Plague is understandably back on best-seller lists: the parallels with our current situation are striking.

Here Until August is an intriguing collection of 10 short stories. They often feel haunted and uncanny.

Celestial Bodies achieves a kind of literary perfection.

A strange, rather beautiful and ultimately quietly devastating novel.

I can’t say I enjoyed this book very much – it’s full of domestic tragedy – but I was impressed by its intensely claustrophobic mood.

Flight Lines is one of the most beautiful and moving books about nature I have read in a while.
