Edward Vass is the author of Milton in Purgatory, published by Fairlight Books. Edward grew up in Devon, before leaving to study at the University of Lincoln. After graduation, he left the UK to teach English in the South Korean city of Daegu. During that time he began to experiment with writing and ideas for stories without ever committing to a complete novel. On his return Edward moved to Oxford to work at a publishing house, he was inspired by its literary past to begin writing an idea he’d come up with in South Korea. He now works in London, and lives just outside of Brighton with his family.

Giovanni’s Room is a great short book. A really vivid and unsettling account of a bohemian life in Paris. The characters are harsh and raw, struggling with desire, fear, and self-betrayal.

Haruki Murakami
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

Han Kang
“To her, there was no touch as instantaneous and intuitive as the gaze. It was close to being the only way of touching without touch.
Language, by comparison, is an infinitely more physical way to touch. It moves lungs and throat and tongue and lips, it vibrates the air as it wings its way to the listener. The tongue grows dry, saliva spatters, the lips crack. When she found that physical process too much to bear, she became paradoxically more verbose.”
Han Kang, Greek Lessons

“People said this was the end of the world. I disagreed. It was simply the end of the human race. People said the gods had abandoned the world. I disagreed. Divine attention had simply shifted from us to other creatures.”
