Description

‘I would like to claim that I discovered Christopher Coake but you can’t really discover writers like this: the quality of the work is so blindingly obvious he was never going to labour in obscurity for any length of time … We’re In Trouble is, for the most part, a book about death – quite often, about how death affects the young … Sometimes, when you’re reading the stories, you forget to breathe, which probably means that you read them with more speed than the writer intended … They’re beautifully written, and they have bottom … striking and dramatic’ Nick Hornby, Believer
