"A dark and beguiling meditation on the weight of being.so fresh it practically pings with energy.The Bird Room is seamlessly woven into a perfectly formed whole that fizzes with deadpan wit and cutting one-liners." -The Independent An audacious and self-assured debut novel, The Bird Room by Chris Killen is sometimes darkly comic, sometimes painfully dramatic, and always entirely engaging. Reminiscent of other up-and-coming authors such as Tao Lin, Richard Milward, and Toby Litt, and with a spare and efficient style that belies the intricacies of the novel's double narrative, The Bird Room is a dark, edgy tale of sex, love, and obsession.
Chris Killen is a Writing Fellow at the University of Manchester and keeps a popular blog, Day of Moustaches (dayofmoustaches.blogspot.com). He lives in Manchester, England, and The Bird Room is his first novel.
