Histories | Sam Guglani

2 posts | 4 read | 3 to read

'Guglani is the real deal' Michel Faber 'Profound . . . Poetic . . . Humane' Gabriel Weston 'Shows rare skill . . . Power and fear and morality' Sarah Moss, author of The Tidal Zone 'Tender . . . designed to break your heart, mend it, then break it all over again' Rory Gleeson, author of Rockadoon Shore Histories is a hypnotic portrait of life in one hospital, over one week. In the corridors and consulting rooms, by the bedside, through the open curtain, we witness charged encounters within the emotional and physical world of medicine. Old insecurities surface as junior doctors try to save a man from dying; an enraged chaplain picks a fight with a consultant; a porter waxes lyrical on his invisibility. These are only some of the stories that so seamlessly connect, collide and create an unforgettable panorama of being. Sam Guglani's vivid prose has the raw intensity of poetry that pulls the reader in on every page.

Histories | Sam Guglani

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

Histories | Sam Guglani

so-so

Sam Guglani‘s debut novel is a short one but it tackles some big stuff: illness and mortality, power and authority, honesty and the National Health Service. The writing is very good but the book‘s brevity made it feel ephemeral and left me wanting to read something more substantial by Guglani.
