Summary
On the Sunday of his 18th birthday, in 1975, Colin takes a walk on Box Hill, a biker hang-out. There he accidentally trips over Ray, a biker napping under a tree - and that’s where it all starts.
This transgressive, darkly affecting love story between men, winner of the 2019 Fitzcarraldo Editions Novel Prize, is a stunning novel of desire and domination by one of Britain’s most accomplished writers.
Critic reviews
"Adam Mars-Jones has never needed to write at great length to convince readers of his talent. Mars-Jones’ latest work is a sliver of a novel that provides ample evidence of his prowess. Box Hill is not a novel for the prudish, but it is a masterclass in authorial control. Despite its diminutive length, it is rich with detail and complexity, and has plenty to demonstrate Mars-Jones’ well-deserved place on any list of our best." (Alex Nurnberg, Sunday Times)
"The biggest small book of the year." (Guardian)
