There is gridlock on the M40 and a banana skin on every pavement. Lovers are disturbed in bed and my father becomes a rain god. Complacency is mocked. Death hovers. Shit happens. How the messiness of life is translated into fiction is considered and no conclusions are reached. Why, anyway, setting out from A, am I so sure that B is where I want to get to?Interruptions push back, disrupting the status quo or derailing progress. 176 Interruptions - a revised and expanded edition of 99 Interruptions, published in 2022 - attempts to take them in its stride.

‘Each one feels instinctual, like it might have been penned on a train or waiting for a bus. They are often simultaneously pithy and profound . . . Within these musings, seemingly fleeting thoughts, all of life resides, from the quotidian to the existential.’ - Simon Lowe, Full Stop ‘Boyle’s slim book is missal of mortality, a reminder that death is not just a line break but Fin . . . This is a literary book about writing and the imagination, not just about the disruptions and the disappointments that litter our way.’ - Brian Morton, Times Literary Supplement‘Where sheer readerly pleasure is concerned nothing published in 2022 has topped Charles Boyle’s 99 Interruptions.’ - Nathan Knapp, Books of the Year, Review 31
