Description
Never Was is a poignant and dreamy novel about grief, addiction, and working-class masculinity. It follows Daniel's journey as they recount their childhood in a small salt-mining town, exploring how identity is both inherited and re-invented.
The story takes us from bus shelters to playgrounds, from the depth of a salt mine to a nightclub toilet, as Daniel steers through the events that led up to The Great Subsidence. Along the way, they navigate a world of soap operas, sunglasses, newspaper clippings, and Princess Diana.
As Daniel tells their story, they come to learn that they are in a place called Never Was - a limbo for lost dreams and disappointments, but also a place of change and transition. This bold and inventive novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in literary fiction.
