Recensioner i media

'This is an excellent and vital addition to the queer canon' Matt Cain. 'Ransom has written a hypnotic and even more mysterious second novel...This is a lust-drenched, ache-filled gay love triangle of sorts that gnarls into a sly emotional thriller. The Gallopers is a whispered howl of a novel' Guardian. The Gallopers reads very much like Tennessee Williams. Ransom's writing matches sensitivity with winning boldness and stands out for its emotional honesty' TLS. 'Tremendous character and flavour, bristles with originality' Financial Times. 'I loved Jon Ransom's debut novel The Whale Tattoo but The Gallopers is even better. Again, his characters are gay men from the lower classes, his setting is rural and his sex is hot, but there are also some surprises. This is an excellent and vital addition to the queer canon' Matt Cain. 'Gritty and unsettling, Jon Ransom has crafted a story of discovery and loss, the circularity of life and the shockwaves which ripple out from the centre of tragedy' Irish News
