The highly anticipated new novel from Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize–winning author of Shuggie Bain.
A luminous, searing new work from one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary literary fiction — a writer whose debut Shuggie Bain won the Booker Prize and was named one of the books of the decade by readers and critics alike.
Stuart returns with John of John, bringing the same devastating empathy, lyrical precision, and tender attention to working-class life that have defined his work. A story of resilience, love, longing, and the search for identity against difficult odds.
This is the much-anticipated follow-up to Shuggie Bain (Booker Prize winner) and Young Mungo (Sunday Times bestseller).
