About me:
my first novel, The Bird Room, will be published by Canongate, spring 2009.
here are some blurbs:
'Chris Killen's first novel is either disturbingly brilliant or brilliantly disturbing. Whichever, I loved it.'
STEVEN HALL, author of The Raw Shark Texts
'The Bird Room is miraculous. It is an astonishingly good debut and Chris Killen has accomplished something rare: he has, in no small way, made the novel new; has done things I've not seen done before. I was gripped from the first page and deeply impressed by the last.' M.J. HYLAND, author of How the Light Gets In and Carry Me Down
'Chris Killen's writing surprised me sometimes and made me think "that is funny" sometimes and I never felt bad reading it because I knew (by reading the sentences) that he had worked hard on being sincere, concise, and interesting.'
TAO LIN, author of Eeeee Eee Eeee and Bed
'An extremely engaging combo of sex, melancholy and killer one-liners - The Bird Room is a beautiful Chinese puzzle of a novel.'
TOBY LITT, author of Hospital, Ghost Story, etc.
'The Bird Room is amazing. Beautiful, laconic, and chockablock with uneasy sex – like having a threesome with your girlfriend and Richard Brautigan.' RICHARD MILWARD, author of Apples
'Killen has taken a rough stone and polished it into a gem. A book that succeeds in turning daily banality into a thing of great beauty.' EWAN MORRISON, author of The Last Book You Read and Swung
'[A] strangely merry look at the agony of true love and unfaithfulness.'
