Dan Rodes is the author of some amazing novels and story collections including Anthropology, Timoleon Vieta Come Home, When the Professor Got Stuck in the Snow and also the phenomenal Gold.
It's fair to say he's one of my favourite authors ever (as you can see from the little stack of books I have here)
So, I'm absolutely delighted to be able to say that, after a seven year wait, his new novel, Sour Grapes has now been published
‘Dan Rhodes is a true original’ – Hilary Mantel
When the sleepy English village of Green Bottom hosts its first literary festival, the good, the bad and the ugly of the book world descend upon its leafy lanes.
But the villagers are not prepared for the peculiar habits, petty rivalries and unspeakable desires of the authors. And they are certainly not equipped to deal with Wilberforce Selfram, the ghoul-faced, ageing enfant terrible who wreaks havoc wherever he goes.
Sour Grapes is a hilarious satire on the literary world which takes no prisoners as it skewers authors, agents, publishers and reviewers alike.
I cannot recommend Dan highly enough, so get in on this. It's incredible!
