“I’m glad I read this debut prize winning novel.
Here Filer creates the voice of Matt who after the death of his brother is plagued with mental illness, at times it is hugely sad, but never depressing, other times light and funny.
Isn’t it good when the judges of a literary prize are bold and choose something different and refreshingly written. I wonder what his next book will be like?
