Great evening yesterday at the Goldsmiths Prize ceremony. One of very few literary prizes that actually rewards risk taking and experimentation. CD Rose won this year for We Love Here Now... Always good to see a Mancunian lifting a literary trophy! @goldsmithsprize.bsky.social

A bouquet of congratulations to C.D. Rose, a very deserving winner of the @goldsmithsprize.bsky.social for his brilliant, funny, inventive, cynical, enthralling, disorienting novel We Live Here Now. 👇
Missing ships, missing artworks, missing persons… I loved CD Rose’s new novel We Live Here Now, which has echoes of M John Harrison, JG Ballard, Tom McCarthy and … Martin Amis, but is also thoroughly and delightfully its own thing.
