Man Booker Prize winner Richard Flanagan’s new novel, First Person, is our bestselling book of last week. Managing director Mark Rubbo writes: ‘In my opinion, this is Flanagan’s best work to date; it’s a book I’ve been constantly returning to – mentally unpeeling another of its layers, pondering one of its scenes or sentences, and admiring a writer who is on top of his craft. I feel so privileged to have read it.’
