'A gorgeous novel... A livid and visionary brotherly love story set
among our ruins. I loved it.' - Max Porter, author of Shy (praise
for Arkady)
'I haven't been able to stop thinking about [Arkady] - such a
tender, hopeful tale of brotherhood and belonging, set against
vividly imagined urban topographies. I haven't read anything like
it in ages.' - Sophie Mackintosh, author of The Water Cure (praise
for Arkady)
'Thick with smoky atmosphere and beautifully controlled - this is a
vivid and very fine debut.' - Kevin Barry, author of Nightboat to
Tangier (praise for Arkady)
'Patrick Langley's Arkady is a strange trip - luminescent, jagged
and beautiful. A debut novel that twists, compels, descends and
soars. I highly recommend it.' - Jenni Fagan, author of The
Panopticon (praise for Arkady)
'The prose crackles with energy as the narrative follows the
constant movement by placing the reader on a well-oiled tracking
dolly, often zooming out to remind us of the bigger picture.
Langley is a highly visual writer and Arkady an assured allegorical
debut about a near-future Britain that is potentially only a
recession or two away.' - Ben Myers, New Statesman (praise for
Arkady)
