Lawrence Patrick O'Brien

They Were Marked by Something Not of This World. Then the Wall Closed In. Hard Worked Days mixes visceral violence, dark humour, and genuine tenderness without flinching from any of them. It is the kind of speculative fiction that uses alien worlds and catastrophe to say something true about labour, belonging, and the peoplewe carry with us. Station Eleven meets The RoadHomegoing meets ArrivalThe Sparrow meets Children of Men
