Omschrijving
A riotous novel about sex and money set in the electric world of Soho, featuring a group of sex workers, a billionaire Russian oligarch, a nearly over-the-hill actor, junkie vagabonds, a once far-right extremist and a very glamorous borzoi
Ambitious, clever, brilliant and very funny . . . If Elmet announced the arrival of a bright new voice in British literature, Hot Stew confirms Mozley as a writer of extraordinary empathic gifts
A dazzling Dickensian tale
A complex mosaic of urban life
A rollicking tale
There's no evidence of difficult second-novel syndrome here . . . a pure nostalgia trip
A gripping novel bursting with life. The second novel by the Booker-shortlisted novelist is a real treat
Ambitious, scathing and damn good fun
A sprawling novel of London life packed with picaresque characters
Where the mystical, elemental qualities of Elmet earned it comparisons with Lawrence and Hardy, her second novel is a sprawling urban comedy more likely to recall Ben Jonson or Dickens
Mozley's prose is precise, controlled, unshowy, deceptively readable
Despite so many characters, the novel doesn't flail, it succeeds as a force . . . to direct so many through a labyrinthine story in just over 300 pages is a kind of mastery
A lively, pacy read that gives more than a nod to Dickens and is all the better for it
A lively, pacy read
Mozley's Soho is a village populated by a cast of characters as vivid and memorable as any imagined by Dickens
Hot Stew reads like a great night out in a city that never sleeps
Her new stew is such a steaming, fuming mix of life, lust and London that in the end you feel like you've eaten all of Soho
Affecting and bitterly comic prose . . . [and a ] rollicking, heady vivacity
Fiona Mozley grew up in York and lives in Edinburgh. Her first novel, Elmet, won a Somerset Maugham Award and the Polari Prize. It was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize, and longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction, the Dublin Literary Award and the International Dylan Thomas Prize. In 2018 Fiona Mozley was shortlisted for the Sunday Times/PFD Young Writer of the Year Award.
