Click here to hear the full interview: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00fz294. A fascinating insight into South African society and literature... 16/03/2011 A belated bit of crowing about The Guardian's review of THE ASK two or three weeks ago, which ends: 'One of the funniest and most straight-out brilliant novels of the last few years'. 05/03/2011 Mike Nicol's BLACK HEART has a brilliant review by Marcel Berlins in The Times today. Sample quote: 'Compelling . . . terrific dialogue, and Nicol’s Cape Town is cool, dangerous, full of humour and very far from its touristy image . . . Black Heart paints a vivid portrait of the moral confusion of post-apartheid society. If Deon Meyer is still the king of South African crime fiction, Mike Nicol is a clear heir apparent, not too far behind.' Newly 'rebranded' editions of David Downing's terrific series of WW2 espionage thrillers have just reached the shops. The series tracks Anglo-American journalist and Berlin resident John Russell's experiences through the war. Downing has been compared to Alan Furst, John Le Carré and Robert Harris. Click here to buy ZOO STATION, first in the series. Sam Lipsyte's THE ASK set critics' hearts a-fluttering in June last year when we published the Trade Paperback. The considerably less expensive (and more orange) mass market pb is in shops now. Click here if you'd like to, etc. |
