First Novel

‘First Novel is absolutely at the forefront of everything I’ve read in British fiction over the last couple of years.’ Jonathan Coe

Paul Kinder, a novelist with one forgotten book to his name, teaches creative writing in a university in the north-west of England.

Either he’s researching his second, breakthrough novel, or he’s killing time having sex in cars.

Either eternal life exists, or it doesn’t.

Either you’ll laugh, or you’ll cry.

Or maybe both.
