Damien Wilkins and Laurence Fearnley: In Praise Of Gentle Fiction

There is something to be celebrated about thoughtful novels that aren’t shouty but pack a powerful punch. Damien Wilkins and Laurence Fearnley’s beautifully written novels Delirious (which won the 2025 Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction) and At The Grand Glacier Hotel (shortlisted for the same prize) both draw from major personal life events and show how subtle approaches can resonate deeply with readers. In conversation with Morrin Rout.
