It was reviewed as ‘powerful, brave, ambitious’ (Globe & Mail), ‘a unique work, compelling, complex, thought-provoking and impressive’ (Quill & Quire). He’s published short stories, reviews, essays and more in a variety of genres. He is associate professor of Creative Writing at the University of Leicester, where he directs the Centre for New Writing and the annual free literature festival, Literary Leicester.
