Books by Patrick Flanery

A feverish vision of McCarthy-era Hollywood...

A raw and heart-wrenching literary memoir about a queer couple's attempt to adopt a child.

Set in the post-Snowden era of creeping surveillance of ordinary citizens and everyday life, I Am No One explores how a world without privacy is a world without freedom of expression.

'Patrick Flanery is an exceptionally gifted novelist, and he is just getting started' --Philip Gourevitch, New Yorker

Set in modern South Africa, an elderly acclaimed author searches for a daughter lost amongst the wreckage of her mother's failings and a nation's shadowed history. With this muscular debut novel, Flanery announces himself, quite simply, as a future literary sensation.
