'One of the most original voices in British fiction.' - The Guardian

The talented and imaginative author of Adventures in Capitalism, Beatniks: An English Road Movie, Corpsing, Deadkidsongs, Exhibitionism, Finding Myself and Ghost Story, Toby Litt has now turned his deft and rapid-fire writing towards the subject of the medical profession as he moves onto H in the alphabet...

Hospital (Penguin) tells the tale of what happens when things start to go wrong at the hospital: sex, death, drugs, Satanism and voodoo all show up in a story that will soon have you wishing people get well soon. Litt will be presenting both Hospital and his brand new book of short stories In the Band (Penguin).

Hospital
This is the most extreme and extraordinary read of the year. From one of Britain's most brilliantly talented younger writers comes a novel you will never forget.

Savagely funny and searingly original, Hospital is a journey to hell and back.

Hospital – get well soon? Yeah, right.

The Guardian
Litt has created an extraordinarily vivid comic nightmare, an apocalyptic vision for our own weird times.

Language: English

Note that the following titles by Toby Litt have been translated into Dutch by Ambo|Anthos: Een hoger macht, Geesteskind, Zelfbeeld and Dodenzang. Hospitaal is due out in the Autumn.
