Described as a ‘twisted British fabulist’ by the San Francisco Chronicle, Rupert Thomson published his first, critically acclaimed novel ‘Dreams of Leaving’ in the late 80s and has since published seven more novels including the award nominated ‘Air and Fire’, ‘The Insult’ and ‘Death of a Murderer’. Thomson’s style is hard to define as his novels’ subjects range from the gap between reality and perception to the male masochism.buy
