THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING NOVEL 2019 marked the centenary of Stanley
Middleton's birth. Holiday, winner of the 1974 Booker Prize,
remains the most celebrated and popular novel from 'the Chekhov of
suburbia'. Edwin Fisher has fled to a seaside resort of his
childhood past to try to come to terms with the death of his baby
son and the collapse of his marriage to Meg. On this strange and
lonely holiday, as he seeks to understand what went wrong, Edwin
must find somea way to think about what he has been and decide upon
where he can go next. ______________________________________ 'At
first glance, or even at second, Stanley Middleton's world is
easily recognizable... The excellence of art, for Middleton, is an
exact vision of real things as they are. And because he is himself
so exact an observer, his world at third glance can seem strange
and disturbing or newly and brilliantly lit with colour.' A.S.
Byatt 'We need Stanley Middleton to remind us what the novel is
about. Holiday is vintage Middleton... One has to look at
nineteenth-century writing for comparable storytelling.' Sunday
