Book description
'Wish I Was Here is a masterpiece. Formally inventive, constantly surprising, M. John Harrison has written an archaeology of fragments that shivers with wholeness. It's exquisite' Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk'As always with M. John Harrison, you're never quite sure what you're reading or where it will take you next. There are only a few certainties: that it will surprise you, sometimes astound you, and leave you profoundly changed' Jonathan Coe, author of The Rotters' Club'Late style is when the people who have all your life jumped in front of you waving their arms - No! Careful! - jump out one more time to encourage you to run them down, and this time you do.'M. John Harrison has produced one of the greatest bodies of fiction of any living British author, encompassing space opera, speculative fiction, fantasy, magical and literary realism. Every book is subversive of genre and united by restless intelligence, experimentation and rebelliousness of spirit.This is his first memoir, an 'anti-memoir', written in his mid-seventies with aphoristic daring and trademark originality and style, fresh after winning the Goldsmiths Prize in 2020. Many of our most prominent younger writers now recognise him as the most significant British writer of his generation. He is 'brilliantly unsettling' (Olivia Laing), 'magnificent' (Neil Gaiman), 'one of the best writers of fiction currently at work in English' (Robert Macfarlane).
