Hood Rat Short-listed for The Orwell Prize

Described by the Telegraph as a ?tremendous book, written with unobtrusive intelligence, vividness and clarity?, Gavin Knight?s debut, Hood Rat, has been shortlisted for the 2012 Orwell Prize for political writing.

The prize will be awarded to the work that comes closest to George Orwell?s own ambition ?to make political writing into an art', and will be announced on the 23rd May.
