PRAISE FOR VICTOR HERINGER 'When you read something genuinely new it's hard to describe it - you end up settling for comparisons - and The Love of Singular Men is truly a singular novel. It's ingenious like Cortazar or Nabokov, elliptical like Grace Paley, funny like Donald Barthelme. Upon finishing it you want to immediately meet the young man who wrote it, shake him vigorously by the hand and congratulate him on the beginning of a brilliant career. But Victor Heringer is gone. He left this beautiful book behind.' - Zadie Smith --------------------------'Victor Heringer scrambles genres - tragic romance, pulpy noir, family drama - to plumb the false solace that narrative promises... its style, in James Young's deft translation, is itself bracing, depraved, and, in the way only something truly melancholic can be, very funny.' - Charlie Lee, The New York Review of Books -------------------------- 'That the author died in 2018, aged 29, is a loss to international literature.' - John Self, The Guardian
