“The Delusions fizzes with impatience, invention and humour… The values of the afterlife seem delusory, a spectacle managed by shady overlords. As below, so above.”
—M. John Harrison reviews Jenni Fagan’s new novel THE DELUSIONS, set in a failing anteroom to eternity – “a cross between Heathrow security the day before Christmas and a job centre on a damp Monday somewhere in Wolverhampton”

“Certain individuals live delusionally, thinking they’re perfect, and so The Delusions was me asking, ‘What if everyone had to face who they really are?’, even if it doesn’t happen in this life but in the next. The only real value you have is your soul.”
