John Burnside has published four books of fiction and eight books of poetry - most recently The Asylum Dance, which won the Whitbread Prize, and The Light Trap.
The savagery of Burnside's subject matter is finely juxtaposed with the mellifluous and redemptive beauty of his prose. A darkly compelling read * Time Out * Burnside's prose is exquisite * Sunday Times * In Living Nowhere, Burnside twins his poetic and storytelling talents as never before to produce a novel full of intrigue, atmosphere and startling imagery... Burnside is fond of the term alchemist; it applies to no one more than himself * Glasgow Herald * John Burnside is a mighty writer... this is writing to stun the sentence, halt the mind...This is the gaze of John Burnside. The burning gaze of a poet: intense, peculiar, off-kilter and deeply interesting... A mighty achievement * Sunday Herald *
