PRAISE FOR RESERVOIR 13 A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Winner of the Costa Novel Award Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2017 Shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize 2017 Named a Best Book of the Year by Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kirkus Reviews , & the Los Angeles Review "McGregor's book achieves a visionary power . . . he has written a novel with a quiet but insistently demanding, even experimental form. The word 'collage' implies something static and finally fixed, but the beauty of Reservoir 13 is in fact rhythmic, musical, ceaselessly contrapuntal . . . A remarkable achievement [and a] subtle unravelling of what we think of as the conventional project of the novel."--James Wood, The New Yorker "McGregor is a beautiful, controlled writer, who can convey the pathos of a life in a few lines. Despite the large cast of characters, each feels specific and real. . . . [An] unconventional but affecting novel."-- The New York Times Book Review "Jon McGregor has revolutionized that most hallowed of mystery plots: the one where some foul deed takes place in a tranquil English village that, by the close of the case, doesn't feel so tranquil anymore. . . . McGregor's writing style is ingenious." --Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post "Disturbing, one-of-a-kind . . . Most books involving crime and foul play provide the consolation of some sort of resolution. But Mr. McGregor's novel, which was long-listed for this year's Man Booker Prize, shows how life, however unsettlingly, continues in the absence of such explanation." --Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal "An intricate and absorbing mosaic-like structure of miniature stories, scenes and snapshots. . . . While Reservoir 13 starts out with the familiar hallmarks of a crime novel, it quickly develops into a quite different literary beast, one that acquires power and depth through bold form and style, not gripping drama and suspense . . . This is unconventional storytelling, a daring way to tell a tale, but one that yields haunting and stimulating results."-- Star Tribune (Minneapolis) "Fiercely intelligent . . . [An] astonishing new novel . . . strange, daring, and very moving . . . The book is a rare and dazzling feat of art that also (in my reading of it) outs us, in a gentle way, for a certain gratuitous drama-seeking tendency we all tend to have as readers--a tendency that makes it harder to see the very real, consequential, beautiful, and human-scaled dramas occurring all around is in real life, in every moment (in nature, in human affairs)." --George Saunders, The Paris Review Daily More Praise for Jon McGregor "Jon McGregor is a writer who will make a significant stamp on world literature. In fact, he already has." --Colum McCann "Jon McGregor writes with frightening intelligence and impeccable technique. Every page is a revelation."--Teju Cole "Jon McGregor's stories are full of unremarkable landscape, destabilizing drama, and people-- pinned in place by themselves. But they gleam with endearing detail. His writing is unnerving, unconventional and lovely." -- Leanne Shapton "These stories are illuminated by Jon McGregor's fearless and humane imagination. Both tragic and comic, they form a polyphonic portrait of a people and a place. Exhilarating." -- Katie Kitamura "Jon McGregor's uncanny stories linger long after you have finished them. He quietly inserts distinct, convincing voices into vivid and compelling landscapes."Dana Spiotta, PRAISE FOR RESERVOIR 13 A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Winner of the Costa Novel Award Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2017 Shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize 2017 Named a Best Book of the Year by Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kirkus Reviews , & the Los Angeles Review "McGregor's book achieves a visionary power . . . he has written a novel with a quiet but insistently demanding, even experimental form.
