M. John Harrison’s standalone novels show the full range of his interests, from early science fiction like The Centauri Device to the realistic literary fiction of Climbers. Several of these books sit at the boundary between genre fiction and mainstream literature.
The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again (2020) won the Goldsmiths Prize, which recognizes fiction that “opens up new possibilities for the novel form.” It confirmed Harrison’s reputation as one of the most distinctive voices in British fiction.
