It Lasts Forever and Then It’s Over

Anne de Marcken

Joint winner of the 2022 Novel Prize. The heroine of this haunting, spare novel is voraciously alive in the afterlife. She heads west and into mind-boggling adventures, carrying a dead but laconically opinionated crow in her chest. One of the sharpest and funniest novels of recent years, It Lasts Forever and Then It’s Over is a tale for our dispossessed times.

Tell

Jonathan Buckley

Joint winner of the 2022 Novel Prize. Structured as a series of interview transcripts with a woman who worked as a gardener for a wealthy businessman and art collector who has mysteriously disappeared, Tell is a work of strange and intoxicating immediacy that explores money, art and industry, the intimacy and distance between social classes, and the complex fluidity of memory.

An excerpt from Jonathan Buckley’s Tell

‘I can talk for as long as you like, no problem. You’ll just have to tell me when to stop. How far back do you want to take it? Because Lily is what it’s about, in my opinion. And the mother is part of the story too. Father too. Goes without saying. But maybe better to pick them up later. Shall we start with the crash? Seems an obvious place.’
