After the resounding success of his 2010
Awa Press book The
Torchlight List: Around the World in 200 Books, Jim
Flynn decided to focus his piercing eye on modern authors, novelists in
particular. He threw himself into the task, reading 400 books in
five years.
The result is The
New Torchlight List: In search of the best modern authors,
a brilliant and often eyebrow-raising look at today’s writers,
delivered in Flynn’s usual unflinching style. Readers will be
shocked, surprised, delighted and sometimes enraged by his audacious
opinions.
They will also be inspired to try new authors – including ones
in translation – and read new work by authors they have loved
in the past.
