JONATHAN MARTIN | *review copies available*

“Ansgar Allen's new novel tableaus a life in fragments, exhibiting—by way of public dissection—a relentlessly detached and digressive sequence of blunt, dry, unflinching incisions into the heart of bleakness."—Vik Shirley

"Jonathan Martin will stride mightily across the channel, and the King of England will exhale wine underneath his feet."
