This novel is about the end of the world. Or, at least, somebody thinks it is the end of the world. And it’s the story of how one man tries to deal with it, and with a very querulous little girl, and with his wife, and his past, and his future too (if there is one) on a desperate drive across London.
Richard Price has published over a dozen books of poetry since his debut in 1993, including Lucky Day (2005), which was a Guardian Book of the Year and shortlisted for the Whitbread Poetry Prize. In 2013 Small World won the Creative Scotland Award for the Best Poetry Collection of that year. It was followed by another Guardian Book of the Year, Moon for Sale (2017). The Owner of the Sea (2021), re-telling Inuit stories, was a Scotsman Book of the Year. In the words of the poet Peter McCarey his poetry ‘goes to work on all the major events of our small lives.’ More recent works include Late Gifts, a braided work which ties consumerism’s interaction with the environment to a narrative of a middle-aged father and his son. For over thirty years he was a curator and then manager of curators at the British Library, before becoming a freelance writer in 2024. He is a tutor at the Poetry School, London.
