    1. Sped through Susanna Clarke's Piranesi this weekend: an absolute stark and sparing novel that also manages to plumb such incredible depths. Part House of Leaves, part Room, part exploration of fantasy and the Outside itself.

    Clarke really is an incredible talent. She manages to write books that, whether as huge as Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell or as economical as Piranesi, are just perfectly formed.
