Goldmiths Winner Announced
November 10, 2022 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
A massive Tramp Press CONGRATULATIONS to Sara Baume on being shortlisted for the 2022 Goldsmiths Prize for her latest novel Seven Steeples.
The Goldsmiths Prize celebrates fiction that breaks the mould or extends the possibilities of the novel. It was won in 2016 by our own Mike McCormack, and this is the second time Sara has been shortlisted. You can pick up a copy from Kennys, The Gutter Bookshop, Dubray, Foyles or your local bookseller!
‘A triumph’ – Olivia Sudjic
‘That is the magic and the brilliance of this haunting, fathomlessly sad book.’ –The Guardian
Sara Baume ‘succeeds wonderfully’ in Seven Steeples ‘with calm scrutiny and a vividly beautiful poetic touch’ – The Wall Street Journal
‘Baume’s writing is near-faultless: instinctively balanced, precise and often surprising.’ Financial Times
‘Seven Steeples unfolds with lovely, unhurried lyricism. I’ve read few better descriptions of being in love. The prose often splinters into verse.’ – The Telegraph
‘Baume is an original; and Seven Steeples is a unique book that asks the reader to think about the possibility of a world of one’s own.’ – The Irish Times
