Novel by novel, Niall Griffiths's exploration of transgressive, desperate lives has become essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what's going on in Britain today. His latest book, the deeply intelligent Broken Ghost, combines myth, drug culture and iconoclastic political vision in a wild music that's also a call to arms. This important book outstrips even its own virtuoso literary technique. Fiona Sampson New Statesman, *Books of the Year*
