Francis Spufford is the best-selling author of Golden Hill, called by Richard Osman ‘The best book of the twenty-first century’. This debut novel went onto to win many prestigious literary prizes. No wonder. It is a very good read. It was followed by Light Perpetual that was long listed for the 2021 Booker Prize.
His latest work of fiction is Cahokia Jazz, a thrilling tale of murder and mystery in a city where history has run a little differently. Again, critics have been full of praise calling it ‘thrilling’, a ‘delight’ and ‘a classic of alternative history’.
Nick Hornby calls him ‘One of the most original minds in contemporary literature’.
He has also written five highly praised works of non-fiction, described by reviewers as ‘brilliant’ and ‘bizarre.’
