How far back do you want to take it?' Tell  is a probing and compelling examination of the ways in which we make stories of our own lives and of other people's. Jonathan Buckley's novel is structured as a series of interview transcripts with a woman who worked as a gardener for a wealthy businessman and art collector who has mysteriously disappeared. The joint winner of The Novel Prize,  Tell  is a work of strange and intoxicating immediacy that explores money, art and industry, the intimacy and distance between social classes, and the complex fluidity of memory. Praise for Jonathan Buckley: 'Buckley's fiction is subtle and fastidiously low-key...every apparently loose thread, when tugged, reveals itself to be woven into the themes [and] gets better the more you allow it to settle in your mind.' - Michel Faber,  The Guardian 'Exactly why Buckley is not already revered and renowned as a novelist in the great European tradition remains a mystery that will perhaps only be addressed at that final godly hour when all the overlooked authors working in odd and antique modes will receive their just rewards.'  -   Ian Sansom,  Times Literary Supplement","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991635767515,"sku":"9781923106017-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/77e0aecf-01ff-4ad7-94c6-39ac1019cc64.jpg?v=1784508074","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781923106017-secondhand-tell","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
