What is Modern Gods about?
'Modern Gods is an exceptional work of literature. It also fulfils its duty as a corrective to our collective idiocy by reminding us what we've forgotten: at bedrock, it says, we're all just confused, lonely, yearning, terrified of death and desperate for love.' Irish Times 'Brilliantly observed, tense, dark and funny' Graham Norton 'Laird dazzles ear and eye with his kinetic prose ... With a mere flick of description, Laird summons vast stretches of politics and history.' Jennifer Egan, New York Times 'Finely etched, impeccably structured, Modern Gods has the enduring echoes of a classic.' BBC 'Modern Gods has realer-than-real characters, unexpected turns of plot into unknown corners of the world, and language that finds its way through the darkest moments and states of mind to shine its clear bright light, revelatory and unforgiving.' Michael Chabon 'Ferociously intelligent, radically contemporary, deeply affecting, stunning.' Matthew Thomas 'Nick Laird takes two experiences poles apart and unites them in gorgeous language, with the same fierce tenderness as he employs in his poetry. It's about families, tribes, peoples - and if you're a member of any of those you'll find a home
