Description:

In 2002 Stephen Miles was famously stripped of one of the UK's most sought-after literary prizes, the Leonard Sankey Award for New Talent in Fiction. ALL MY OWN WORK tells, for the first time, how Miles came to write the entry that won and then lost the £10,000 prize, and the parts played in the whole unlikely story by his estranged Thai wife Fon, partners-in-crime Vince, Alastair and Eric, and an anchored navigational river float known as the Buoy of Orpheus. A humorous memoir of the power of love, friendship, books, music and rice soup, ALL MY OWN WORK is a true story, although at times it reads like fiction.

Having had the privilege of reading an early version of this novel, I can confirm that it is A Most Original Work of the "unputdownable" kind, very funny, inventive, and rich in Hobanesque as well as entirely Milesian moments. Go get it!
