Notă biografică

Rupert Thomson is one of the most interesting English writers of the past three decades. His astonishing first novels, Dreams of Leaving and The Five Gates of Hell, were among the first books published by Bloomsbury in the late 80s and was praised by authors such as Colm Toibin, Philip Pullman, DBC Pierre and Victoria Hislop. His other books include The Insult, The Book of Revelation, Barcelona Dreaming and Death of a Murderer. In 2013, David Bowie chose The Insult as one of his hundred must-read books of all time.

Recenzii

I devoured [this book] in a single sitting. The sense of dislocation - and location - made it seem like a dream of another life, all of it so lyrical and yet narratively acute. A wonderful achievement.
Masterfully ambiguous ... How to Make a Bomb raises complicated questions ... but doesn't neatly wrap them up. Rather, it allows the ideological inquiries at the center of the book to linger and bloom for continued consideration .... How to Make a Bomb provides a powerfully evocative catalyst for thought and feeling
'A novel that turns a midlife crisis inside out, rewardingly...the result, in Thomson's expert hands, is fast-paced and headlong; the book ends up rewiring the reader's sense of what's banal and what's not. A work about estrangement and solitude that's surprisingly rapid, engaging, light-footed.'
PRAISE FOR RUPERT THOMSON: 'Each novel he writes is a new vision of a new world; he's the least predictable, the most surprising of writers.' Philip Pullman; 'Hands down, Rupert Thomson is one of my favourite writers of all time. I impatiently wait for his new novels and he never disappoints.' Andrea Wulf; 'When someone writes as well as Thomson does, it makes you wonder why other people bother.'
