All My Precious Madness: Mark Bowles in conversation with Lars Iyer

Debut Fiction

All My Precious Madness reinvents the campus novel as hilarious and exhilarating, full of surprises, mischief and pitch black humour. A savagely funny novel that disdains literary and moral conventions, it is also a work of unusual care, craftsmanship and empathy – even if that also means understanding the darkest parts of humanity.

Mark Bowles grew up between Bradford and Leeds and went on to study English at Liverpool and Oxford Universities.

Lars Iyer is Professor of Creative Writing at Newcastle University
