Reads like Albert Camus’ lost London novel – a scarily accomplished and unsettling debut from a new young English writer of great promise.

On the surface another tale of adultery and ethics in North London disintegrating into violence and recrimination, this very promising debut proves to be so much more – a riveting tale of menace and mystery, of emotional disengagement and passionate action, moral vacuity and physiological sensitization, and written in a smooth, calm prose into which crashes very occasionally the most startlingly disturbing sentence.

Wilcken is 35, a young Englishman living in Paris, and with this book already he makes a strong claim on the book world’s attentions as a writer with a real future in the Ian McEwan-to-William Boyd market.

Recensione:

'Taut, menacing, full of sinister beguilements. And unsettlingly shrewd.' Will Eaves, author of The Oversight

‘Hugo Wilcken’s tight, energetic prose keeps pages turning in an impressive and sure-footed debut.’
Daily Mail

‘Unnervingly cool prose...an entertainingly urbane thriller...distinguished by its alluring ambiguity’ Daily Telegraph

‘Through this tone (existential and wise)and elegant patterning The Execution transcends genre. Its direct, factual narration never makes a misstep’ Observer

‘A dark exploration of the fault-line between reason and action, and the ground that opens when they collide. Wilcken has the ability to probe the connections between obsession and detachment, violence and retribution.’ TLS

L'autore:

hugo wilcken is 35, British-Australian. He lives in Paris, where he has worked as a writer since 1990. This is his first book.
