'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).

'Wish I Was Here is a masterpiece. Formally inventive, constantly
surprising, M John Harrison has written an archaeology of fragments
that shivers with wholeness. It's exquisite' Helen Macdonald,
author of H is for Hawk 'As always with M John Harrison, you're
never quite sure what you'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' Jonathan
Coe, author of The Rotters' Club 'Late style is when the people who
have all your life jumped in front of you waving their arms - No!
Careful! - jump out one more time to encourage you to run them
down, and this time you do.' 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
