A hugely energetic rumination on politics, family and fiction, Non-Return traces the life of a technical draughtsman and writer, following his efforts to reconcile his art and his everyday life.
Interspersed with exquisitely-written short fictions, this is a novel about fatherhood, work, memory, the disempowerment of the individual, and the significance of protest – most keenly explored in the death of the narrator?s wife, a resident of the Greenham Common peace camp.
Non-Return is a dazzlingly innovative work of fiction from an ambitious, politicised, and deeply humane writer.
