After the Sun
How does it feel to be a native of the digital era? What effect does late capitalism have upon our intimate lives? A lot of people instinctively sense that time and space feel different these days, but few people seem able to capture that feeling in prose. Jonas Eika manages it. After the Sun is an inventive and exciting book - a true original
- Zadie Smith
Eika's prose flexes a light-footed, vigilant, and unpredictable animalism: it's practically pantheresque. After the Sun is an electrifying, utterly original read
- Claire-Louise Bennett
Eika says he 'started writing this book wanting to be surprised by it' and it delivers: this is a book that is hard to get out of your head, like an extravagant dream
- The Guardian
Relentlessly thrilling. The sentences in these stories stretch past the limits of the ordinary to the luridly extraordinary, and some moments feel as if they are breaking through to the sublime
- New York Times Book Review
After the Sun confronts modernity and alienation in hypnotic prose... These stories are compelling, haunted, even radiant
