HH 80th anniversary recommendation: 'The Devils'

1 November, 2016
Author: Fyodor Dostoevsky
Genre: Fiction
Category: Literary Happenings

In 2016, Heywood Hill celebrated its 80th anniversary. In honour of the occasion, distinguished authors were asked to share the single book - published in English in the last 80 years - that has meant the most to them and to provide a three-word justification for their choice. 

The inimitable Kazuo Ishiguru chose 'The Devils' by Fyodor Dostoevsky: 

"Every character bonkers" 

This idea was inspired by our popular literary subscription service 'A Year in Books'. Find out more here
