The latest work of fiction by John Fraser (‘the most original novelist of our time’, John Fuller, Whitbread Award winner and Booker Prize nominee) consists of two stories about aspiration, and how that is suited to a short reflective life, rather than a long happenstance. ‘O the Poor Horses’ tells of a super-athlete, climber and circus star, Pierre, whose aim is to reach the top of the tent, and then beyond – perfection of the body and its mind. When Pierre tumbles and is crippled, Dora, his assistant and companion, once his facilitator who has become a dead weight, must take on ...

John Fraser’s latest work of fiction follows the refugee Khalil in two related stories, ‘The Refugees’ and ‘Travels with Strangers’. We are all refugees seeking an entry to soCaucasmewhere when we’ve left somewhere else. Our knowledge is a raft that’s carried us on lumpy seas. We can forget all that when we arrive. It doesn’t serve. We don’t, of course, stop being refugees, not ever, but we have a lot of living to do while we’re forgetting where we were before. It’s a commonplace, to say we’re strangers to ourselves – not only when we are alone, but especially when...

The air hung thick with the smell of ozone and burnt plastic, a lingering scent of their near-death experience. Lonnie ran a hand over the smooth, cool surface of the repaired temporal resonator, its green glow a constant, reassuring presence in the otherwise dim Quonset hut. The weeks spent battling the machine, deciphering Finch’s cryptic notes, had left them gaunt and exhausted, their faces etched with the strain of their ordeal. But the pervasive anxiety had shifted; the fear of catastrophic failure was replaced by a new, equally potent fear: the fear of failure to return. Tommy, ever...

It is the calm before the storm. People are adjusting to Judgment Day. They are taking steps to restore order and business as usual.

No place remains for the complacent. ...

Thinking Scientifically is John Fraser's latest wildly original, experimental work of fiction: three stories ('The Opera', 'Round the World', 'The Shaft') centred on one theme: while we can think scientifically, can we be scientifically? We can train as scientists - but that's a job, and when we stop doing it - we're the same chimpanzee types as everybody else. When we think scientifically, what happens to all the other layers, the modalities, systems, of thought and being: the magical, the religious, the hunting and the gathering, the philosophical, the artistic...? The characters in the ...

Judgment day has come. An unstoppable force has swept across the world from east to west. People have disappeared in the millions. The how and why remains unknown.

Whether undead, or zombies, or vampires, or ghouls, the survivors face an adversary unlike any mankind has previously battled. War has begun, but it is a war not of conquest but extermination. In the Middle East, the crew of the USS Cyclops ...

John Fraser’s latest work of fiction, The Future’s Coming Everywhere, comprises two thematically linked stories. In the first, Candice, echoingboth Voltaire's Candide – a disillusioned idealist and world traveller – and Zadig, the last wise, just king of Babylon – Candice sets out to find power and wisdom. Her reason is dwarfed by a huge powerless electronic brain, functioning without purpose or control. She is compelled by office politics to flee, through the natural park she herself created. Managing to evade pursuit, regaining her autonomy and mobility, she finds the people she...

John Fraser’s latest novel shows how confessions are less about contrition than about seeking accomplices and pardoners – though there is a nod to various 'confessors' – Augustine, Rousseau. Confessions starts with an invocation to addiction, those who take on that burden, and those who will take it on or share it. The story follows the branches of a family tree, rooted in the life of an alcoholic and his accomplice-therapist, and their descendants. Their children are shown being forced to confess what they – probably – haven’t done, and to perform a personal sacrifice in ...

Two novellas by John Fraser with the common theme of complicity. The Way Back explores the experience of war, of civil war, of flight, rejection, scams and endless voyages. In Elementary Exercises, protagonists who feel they're privileged - as critics, artists, 'free spirits' - engage with authoritarian regimes and contexts, sad relationships conceived as necessary to escape from difficult situations. John Fraser has lived near Rome since 1980. Previously, he worked in England and Canada. Of Fraser's fiction the Whitbread Award winning poet John Fuller has written: 'One of the most ...
