All Along the Echo by Danny Denton
In the wildling spirit of George Saunders, Nicola Barker and David Mitchell, All Along the Echo is a mighty novel of radio broadcasts, road trips across Ireland and the glorious static of modern existence...
One of the best novels of 2022 so far.. Brilliant... A beautiful cacophony * The Telegraph *
A cyclone of a novel... Best of all, amid the imaginative pyrotechnics, there are moments of real tenderness * Guardian *
Denton has done something magical here, maybe even a little metaphysical... Wonderful * Irish Times *
An unruly, provocative and stunning novel. Lovers of literature and radio: this is for you * Cillian Murphy *
All Along the Echo has the energy of a rebounding pinball. Danny Denton takes you on a voice-switching, shape-shifting adventure * Rebecca Watson, author of little scratch *
Grabs the reader by both shoulders and spins... Intensely exhilarating, moving, and often hilarious, this book is a wonder * Doireann Ní Ghríofa, author of A Ghost in the Throat *
Glowing with warmth yet resolute of focus across its fascinatingly fractured form, All Along the Echo is a declaration of love and frailty in a glitchy age of crossed wires and cross purposes * Gavin Corbett, author of Green Glowing Skull *
Danny Denon has written a beast of a novel, stretching both hands around the absurd, strange, awful beauty of modern Irish life and hugging it close to him, all of it * Cathy Sweeney, author of Modern Times *
All Along the Echo is a very funny book with a sincerely bleak underbelly; a gritty, socially-engaged book with an antic exuberance that is so rare in contemporary writing. It's gorgeous and life-affirming. * Niamh Campbell, author of We Were Young *

One of my favourite contemporary writers. One of my favourite writers full stop. Danny Denton's work always blasts my mind and heart wide open, he's an absolute marvel
* Max Porter, author of Lanny *A boisterous chorus, brimming with humanity. All Along the Echo feels like a living thing, dancing and dodging, surprising and poignant.
* Lisa McInerney, author of The Rules of Revelation *An unruly, provocative and stunning novel. Lovers of literature and radio: this is for you * Cillian Murphy *
Wild, full-hearted, high-concept with real emotional heft
