Sports and Social, Bluemoose Books, September 2023
"This is a bloody great collection of short stories" Bookmunch
"This is a humane, funny, poignant collection that lingers long in the memory." William Davies, Literary Review
"The detail is always starkly named, never given a memorial resonance or referent, and this has more than comedy value — the style becomes the substance, the showing is the telling, the logos becomes pathos. The accumulation generates its own narrative, its own referential and emotional field. Boniface his having his (barm)cake, and eating it too." C. D. Rose, 3:AM MAGAZINE
"If we build a new Voyager probe any time soon this should be on it, but failing that I’d recommend putting a copy in a shoebox and burying it in your garden, for future generations to find." Jonathan Gibbs, Tiny Camals Books of the Year 2023
"...strange, touching, pulsating with life." Wendy Erskine, Caught by the River
"As a form of witness Sports and Social is remarkable: meticulous, unjudgemental and intelligent. Truly this is England, now. As a collection of stories it is emotionally charged without being sentimental, and considered without seeming contrived. It is also quietly hilarious." Ian Sansom, Times Literary Supplement
