TALBOT & THE FALL

James Tait Black Prize shortlist nominee, returns with his fourth novel, aspirited consideration of art, death, and ordinary life, interweaving historical visions and a rather cheeky chorus alongside the dual narratives of John Talbot and his daughter, Charlie.

Select questions animate Talbot: Can art help overcome our fear of death? Can we make art without knowing death? In exploring them, the novel unites the threads of Michael’s encyclopedic reading, creative energy, and love of a particular band into a postmodern, post-punk romp through a week in
the life of its central players.

Waiting for the results of a colonoscopy, Talbot, a Welshman and a Tube driver, has seven days to think about his life, even do something significant. Though he never went to university, he’s received an education of a kind from the words and music of The Fall and their lead singer, ‘The Captain’ Mark E. Smith. Charlie meanwhile is entangled with her university writing project, waiting for inspiration, in whatever form, to strike.

From this spins out an entire world, moving between London, Wales, and East Anglia. As with Michael’s earlier novels, Talbot embraces an expansive range of characters, mining daily life and all its complications through an exuberant voice and vision. Talbot & The Fall is a work of unrelenting energy and ingenuity, palpated not only by the spirits who observe and describe John’s momentous week, but also by those most ancient dramas: family, death, music, and art. 

Michael will be chatting to Tim Batcup. Takeout drinks from Harry's Bar next door widely encouraged!
