Shortlisted for the Polari Prize 2019

'A writer who never ceases to surprise' Jenny Offill

Meet Jeremy, a hapless fifty-something who is scraping together a living in Paris writing soft-core pornography as 'Nathalie Cray'.

When his all-but-estranged sister tells him their father is dying, he reluctantly travels back to his parental home in the English countryside. Confronted with a life he had always sought to escape, Jeremy begins an emotionally fraught journey into his family's chequered past - back to the unexpected death of his mother in a provincial Greek hospital years earlier, and even further back, to the moment at which the Eldritch family fell apart.

A bold take on the queer coming-of-age story, Prodigal deftly reconsiders everything we think we know about the nature of trust, death, and what we do to each other in the name of love.

Autoren-Porträt von Charles Lambert

The book was triggered by the death of my mother and the year I spent with her before she died. I wanted to look at what it meant to lose a parent, and to see the effect it might have on the surviving family members. This is with hindsight. At the time I think that what I wanted most was to exorcise the period as rapidly and completely as possible by making something from it that was utterly distinct from the direct experience of living with death.

On a more conscious level, I also wanted to look at what I would call the myth of romantic love, exemplified by the quote from DH Lawrence that provides the epigraph (And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything as you like it, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose, and it's always daisy time), and at the varieties of non-romantic love - both within and outside the family - that actually shape our lives. So it's a novel about love and death.
