  1. 1. The Book Of Jonah

    Luke Kennard’s The Book of Jonah reimagines the biblical figure as a reluctant, globe‑trotting “prophet” who avoids his calling by taking arts development, PR and consultancy jobs. Blending surreal comedy and picaresque adventure, the book follows his encounters with errant writers, artists and fixers while satirizing the emptiness of the hero’s journey, cuts to arts funding, and contemporary literary culture.
