On Agoraphobia

 

 

If we’re talking agoraphobia, we’re talking books. I slip between their covers, lose myself in the turn of one page, re-discover myself on the next. Reading is a game of hide-and-seek. Narrative and neurosis, uneasy bedfellows sleeping top to toe.

Praise for On Agoraphobia

​

‘A strange and many-headed work that melds personal experience with cultural criticism. . .thoughtful, humane and unjustly enjoyable.'

The Sunday Times

​

'Intellectually curious, emotionally bracing and immensely erudite.'

The Guardian

 

Praise for The Boy With The Perpetual Nervousness

 

'Passionate and courageous, insightful and humane, funny and moving, this is a wonderful book.'

David Nicholls, author of One Day

 

'A fascinating book, a hilarious book and a horrifying one...A book which blew me away and shook me to the core.'

Jonathan Coe

​

'Caveney writes with such robust, defiant attack that he never leaves the reader feeling like a prurient spy. His anger is blistering, any comedy not so much black as bile green. [He] tells the story of his life brilliantly.' 

Sunday Times

​

'Caveney's voice on the page is humane, big-hearted and without self pity...His book demands to be read.'

Guardian

'Extraordinary...brilliantly detailed, vivid and frequently very funny...A remarkable feat.'

Editor's Choice, The Bookseller
