A star is born: with this brilliant and blazing novel, Benjamin Hale has written a relentlessly inventive coming of age story that is by turns comic, violent, heartbreaking, and perverse.
'The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore is an enormous, glorious rattlebag of a book. Benjamin Hale's extremely loud debut has echoes of the acerbic musings of Humbert Humbert and the high-pitched shrieking of Oskar Matzerath. Hale's narrator, Bruno Littlemore, is a yelping, bouncing, pleading, longing, lost, loony, bleeding, pleading, laughing, beseeching wonder. The book is of such enormous originality and vitality; it is the book I feel I have been searching years for but have never yet found, until now.' Edward Carey
