Wonderful... This book needs to be read right now by as many people as possible -- Brandon Taylor, author of The Late Americans Fun... Bratton has a sharp eye for the absurdities of the white-saviour ex-public-schoolboy. And there’s a keen sense of the aching fugue of one’s early twenties * Telegraph * Carnal and precise, a challenging taxonomy of familial and personal failure that Bratton renders without tidiness or judgment -- Raven Leilani, author of Luster I tore through Henry Henry in two days. A thrillingly imaginative new vision for Shakespeare’s Henriad – witty in its narrative parallels and deliciously realist in its resetting. You will come away from this book changed -- Kaliane Bradley, author of The Ministry of Time Irreverent, immersive, scathingly funny, with a deep emotional undercurrent that pulls you out unexpectedly into heart-wrenching territory. Henry Henry is a brilliantly glinting and twisted debut -- Seán Hewitt, author of All Down Darkness Wide The year’s finest debut. It has the power to reinvigorate literature with the type of daring prose that is becoming much too rare. So good I couldn’t put it down -- Jeremy O. Harris, author of Slave Play Comic and biting * Hero Magazine, *Books Everyone Will Be Talking About in 2024* *
