The Residue Years by Mitchell S Jackson
'Powerful . . . full of impossible hope . . . There is warmth and wit and a hard-won wisdom' Roxane Gay, New York Times Book Review
A sparkling debut. . Jackson's writing crackles and sparks with startling insights -- Colin Grant * Observer *
Mitchell S Jackson's traumatic debut novel is written in a heightened, lyrical prose style inspired by the local vernacular. He brings to his narrative not just first-hand experience, but a profound compassion for the deadbeat dads, neglectful mothers, pimps, whores and dealers whose chaotic, intersecting lives form the basis of the story -- Press Association
