The Bird Room: a Novel

?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.
