They've all got a book in them, unfortunately.
A novel-in-emails about seven eccentric writers, written by three quite odd ones, Work in Progress is a very British farce about loneliness, friendship and the ache of literary obscurity.
‘Excruciatingly well-observed, Work in Progress is a deeply funny epistolary novel with the kind of comic timing that caused me frequent physical pain. Consistently inventive and seamlessly collaborative: despite the characters’ best efforts I felt the constant exuberance of resourcefulness and discovery on every page. A masterpiece of passive-aggression that somehow combines skewering the most monstrous kind of mediocrity and delusion with genuine affection, humanity and wit. I couldn’t put it down and read it in one day. I never do that.’
Luke Kennard, poet and author of The Transition
