Publisher's Synopsis
Ophelia uses the words Shakespeare gave her to choose her own fate.
"A sensitive testament to voice and giving voice." - Eley Williams, author of The Liar's Dictionary
"A journey of encounters, with O in a role of Alice-like innocence, seeking answers in a wonderland of eccentric gatekeepers. There is plenty of life and humour in these exchanges, which are at times reminiscent of George Saunders' polyphonic Lincoln in the Bardo. Let me go on is a dazzling, virtuosic short novel." - Rónán Hession, The Irish Times
Following the inventive, moving novel let me tell you, "O" goes on to encounter others on a similar journey. Constrained by the 481 words she speaks in Hamlet, her story flows from this subtle limitation. It hints at a past that is reluctant to let her go, and the undiscovered powers that govern the present. From the author of Mr. Beethoven (The Goldsmiths Prize 2020 shortlist; The Walter Scott Prize 2021 longlist), and The Tomb Guardians ("Brilliant and witty" - Rowan Williams)
