A rare appearance by Michel Faber, one of our masters of modern fiction, whose work spans short stories, novellas and the bestselling blockbuster, The Crimson Petal and the White. He has won several short story awards and has been described as a writer whose 'bold fiction has made a permanent mark, its incandescence handled with brilliance' (The Scotsman). His latest novella, The Fire Gospel, is a loose re-telling of the Prometheus myth. It describes, with typical verve, the incendiary consequences of the discovery of the fifth Gospel in a looted museum in Iraq.
