““The Lighthouse” is one of the best works of recent fiction that I’ve encountered, and yet reading this newer work I felt like I was reading a somewhat clumsy first novel that later gave way to something much better. Quite the opposite, as “Lighthouse” is from 2012 and “He Wants” 2015.
Moore is phenomenal at illuminating the emotional stuntedness of her characters, all very English and confused and often repressed. Yet this time by her focusing and jumping around multiple woeful characters, often with little connective tissue between them, I found it difficult at times to understand what it was she was getting at in describing their meandering and fumbling.
Awkwardly done in parts, masterfully in others. I’ll certainly still read the other two books of hers I recently bought.”
About Alison Moore
Alison Moore’s first novel, The Lighthouse, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2012 and the National Book Awards 2012 (New Writer of the Year), winning the McKitterick Prize 2013. Her shorter fiction has been published in Best British Short Stories anthologies and in her debut collection, The Pre-War House and Other Stories, whose title story won a novella prize. Born in Manchester in 1971, she lives near Nottingham with her husband Dan and son Arthur.
