Crudo

questioning love letter to life and to art, will blow you away. ' Deborah Levy. 'Readable, shockingly new, and surprisingly tender. I didn't want it to stop. ' Chris Kraus. 'I read it in one go, lost all sense of time, floating on the rhythm, stung by the beats, I bet Kathy Acker would have loved it, I did. ' Viv Albertine. 'One long electric dream, spinning with intimate energy and the sharpest saddest funniest humour. ' Philip Hoare. 'I adored Crudo. I believe it is a great novel. Olivia writes so beautifully about life and nature in both city and country, and always finds some aspect to laugh about, one feels today's world is worth saving. ' Jilly Cooper. 'The diffuse literary form of Crudo is ridiculously good. Olivia Laing has probably the most art & texture savvy sensitive ear of anyone writing today. Here, try it. ' Eileen Myles.
