I Want To Go Home But I'm Already There

A very funny and original take on the vagaries and indignities of endless renting ... Rife with sharply observed but subtle insights on class and money * Rachel Connolly, author of Lazy City * A deeply compelling and melancholic modern ghost story, which draws upon the tropes of gothic to examine with piercing precision and wry humour the insidiousness, malignancy, and all-encompassing bleakness of the housing market. This novel is sharp and sad and incisive * Susannah Dickey, author of Common Decency * A smart, funny and, occasionally, terrifying story of love, rental and millennial angst. With rare skill and eerie precision, Lanigan captures the small joys and mundane horrors of the current moment. Beautifully written, frequently hilarious, and maddeningly real. * Seamas O'Reilly, author of Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? * Róisín Lanigan has been threatening to be the next great Irish writer for ages, so I'm glad she's finally sat down and done it * Joel Golby * So unsettling and atmospheric and just devastatingly sad ... An intensely strange and claustrophobic novel, in which a young couple’s attempts to establish a home together give way to unsettling surreal episodes and disturbing lapses in the protagonist’s memory. Róisín Lanigan masterfully draws on ghost story tropes to suggest the nightmare of being trapped in financial insecurity and a bad relationship. What I really loved about this novel, though, was its resistance to a single interpretation; it had a powerful ambiguity that lingered in my mind long after I’d finished reading. * Imogen Crimp, author of A Very Nice Girl * A gothic novel for generation rent - an uncanny, hilarious story about a young woman haunted by her flat * Ed Caesar, author of The Moth and the Mountain * So, so good ... It is this balance between the classic and the modern that Lanigan gets so right ... An unnerving, beautifully teased-out novel that gives as much as it takes * Jess White, Lunchpoems *
