You Were Never Really Here Reviews

'Ames is an adept purveyor of the very noir, particularly scenes of violence. He achieves more in less than 100 pages than most crime novels three times the length do' - The Times, Crime Books of the Year 2016

'A striking and powerful noir debut that can be consumed in a single sitting... Ames reveals himself here as a stylish thriller writer' - Daily Mail

About Jonathan Ames

Novelist, essayist, creator of the beloved TV series Bored to Death and Blunt Talk, Jonathan Ames is celebrated not only for his comic sensibilities and devotion to the absurd but for his lurid attraction to inner demons. In this shocking and suspenseful thriller, the author goes darker than noir, with an ass-kicking and psychologically tormented guardian angel who rescues others but refuses to save himself.
