Beschreibung
'Wish I Was Here is a masterpiece' Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk
'It will surprise you, sometimes astound you, and leave you profoundly changed' Jonathan Coe, author of The Rotters' Club
M. John Harrison has produced one of the greatest bodies of fiction of any living British author, encompassing space opera, speculative fiction, fantasy, magical and literary realism. Every book is subversive of genre and united by restless intelligence, experimentation and rebelliousness of spirit.
This is his first memoir, an 'anti-memoir', written in his mid-seventies with aphoristic daring and trademark originality and style, fresh after winning the Goldsmiths Prize in 2020. Many of our most prominent younger writers now recognise him as the most significant British writer of his generation. He is 'brilliantly unsettling' (Olivia Laing), 'magnificent' (Neil Gaiman), 'one of the best writers of fiction currently at work in English' (Robert Macfarlane).
Rezensionen
M. John Harrison, the best British writer you've never heard of, operates on the margins. Unusual and impressive, <i>Wish I Was Here </i>is also a writing manual of brilliance'
re reading or where it will take you next. There are only a few certainties: that it will surprise you, sometimes astound you, and leave you profoundly changed

Infectiously engaging, packed with rueful wisdom and a distinctive sense of mischief
A deep dive into the back-and-forth, up-down, sideways mind of a true genius. An immersive pleasure and a literary adventure
He is one of the very great writers alive today

This is one of the most original books about writing that I have read, in part because Harrison is as profound about the art as he is helpful on the craft ... destabilising, witty, exhilarating - an important contribution to the genre'

A stand-out playful reframing of the memoir form
One of the best writers currently at work in English
'Harrison is the shape-shifting master of absent and elusive things, many of them absent and eluding in Barnes and the Peak District. In this mesmerising book, the author - or rather his style - goes in search of what may have been his memories of different versions of his life. The result is an enchantment of instability, usually ungraspable, always intense.'

<i>Wish I Was Here</i> is a masterpiece. I don't use that word lightly: I've not loved a book as much as this for years. Pleating together the quotidian and fantastic, the material and ineffable, it is at once a beguiling autobiography and a sustained interrogation of genre, craft, and the uses of history, and a perfect instantiation of what it is to write and what it is to live. Formally inventive, constantly surprising, M John Harrison has written an archaeology of fragments that shivers with wholeness. It'

M. John Harrison's 'anti-memoir'
Read it. You will want to press it on others like a mildly deranged Ancient Mariner haranguing those poor wedding guests as they try to go about their business
Delightfully oddball and original
Hilarious and haunting
Harrison captures the stultifying and and generative landscape of post-industrial England better than anyone else
