John the Revelator Nominated for First Novel Award of The Costa Proze

I was delighted to hear that Peter Murphy's début novel, John the Revelator has been nominated for the prestigious Costa literary prize. The novel - which was published earlier this year - is one of the most exciting pieces of literary fiction to come out of Ireland and my favourite book of the year. A big congratulations to Peter. If you haven't read it already, I'd highly recommend seeing for yourself how good it really is.

I was lucky enough to interview Peter about the novel earlier in the year for Verbal magazine:

And here's my review of the novel for the same magazine.

Peter's work is an inspiration for burgeoning writers.
