Francis Spufford: Nonesuch

To read Francis Spufford’s literary fantasy Nonesuch is to be grabbed by the hand and pulled, screaming with delight, through a version of wartime London where statues talk, timelines bend, and fascism entangles with dark magic.

From Booker-longlisted Light Perpetual to his last novel Cahokia Jazz, Spufford is always deft at drawing timely truths out of alternate realities.

If you need a fresh perspective on how to keep fighting the good fight, don’t miss him.
