Mike McCormack wins the Goldsmiths Prize

Mike McCormack’s Solar Bones has won the 2016 Goldsmiths Prize. We’re all thrilled for Mike, and feeling incredibly lucky to be associated with this terrific novel. Mike says “I didn’t think I was going to win. It would have been too much of a fairy tale on top of a fairy tale of getting the book published and it being critically well-received. That was it: I didn’t think it was going to go any further but it has.”

You can buy the book here, in your local bookshop, or get the Kindle version here.

The publication of Solar Bones would not have been possible without the support of the Arts Council. We are very grateful to them for putting their faith in us and in Mike McCormack.
