It’s always hard to appropriate a review of HK’s work. Whisky Blue Ruin is a little more straightforward than Red Pill or White Tears, it’s still very much written as if it’s the same character, and somehow Kunzru himself. The first-person narrative contributes to this, sure! But it’s more about the way his protagonist feels, their inner-dialogue.

Set in peak Covid-19 lockdown madness, Blue Ruin is an all-engrossing tale of a former artist, struggling for meaning, purpose that hasn’t at all been able to reconcile with his past.

This is literary fiction that dares to be devoured, and whilst it’s not quite perfection, it’s Kunzru going to another level in his adroitness of fiction and storytelling.

Kunzru is a writer & voice all unto his own, shining!
