BOOK OF THE YEAR IN GUARDIAN, OBSERVER, GRANTA AND TLS''This dazzling anti-memoir is nothing less than a portrait of a writer with a beautiful mind. Harrison turns over what it takes to simultaneously be present to everyday life and imaginative flight. A masterpiece'' Deborah Levy, Books of the Year 2023, Observer''Is M John Harrison the best writer at work today? He''s certainly among the deftest and most original, producing immaculately odd sentences in any genre he chooses'' Olivia Laing, Summer Pick of 2023, Guardian''Wish I Was Here by M John Harrison is a revival of the writer''s memoir ...
slippery and fascinating as any of his fiction'' Jonathan Coe, Summer Pick of 2023, Guardian''Unusual and impressive, Wish I Was Here is also a writing manual of brilliance'' Sunday TimesM. 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.
But is there even an M. John Harrison and where do we find him?This is the question the author asks in this memoir-as-mystery, turning for clues to forty years of notebooking: ''A note or it never happened. A note or you never looked.''Are these notebooks, or ''nowtbooks'', records of failed presence? How do they shine light on a childhood in the industrial Midlands, a portrait of the young artist in countercultural London, on an adulthood of restless escape into hill and moorland landscapes? And do they tell us anything about the writing of the books, each one so different from the last that it might have been written by another version of the author?With aphoristic daring and laconic wit, this anti-memoir will fascinate you and delight you.
It confirms M. John Harrison still further in his status as the most original British writer of his generation.
