On the strength of this book, Fagan more than deserves her place on the recent Granta list of young British novelists. She’s a major talent whose work should be widely recognised. ''The Panopticon'' is a weird, gorgeous, utterly unplaceable work of fiction that’s hilarious, uplifting, dirty and real. I fell in love with it from the first page and then struggled for weeks to put my feelings about it into words. This review is so much less than it should be. You’ll just have to read the book for yourself to find out what I'm talking about.
For more wonderful writing from the Granta 2013 list, try [[White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi]]. We also have a review of [[The Sunlight Pilgrims by Jenni Fagan]].
