  1. 1. Julius Winsome

    A solitary, meticulous man lives in a decaying house with the corpse of the woman he has killed, keeping strict rituals and routines as he grapples with guilt, memory and the slow encroachment of the natural world; spare, darkly comic and haunting, the novel is an intense meditation on isolation, responsibility and the fragile ways people try to hold life together.
