Patrick Melrose novels

"I was floored by Edward St. Aubyn's Patrick Melrose novels."

"I just started “The Patrick Melrose Novels,” by Edward St. Aubyn, because everyone is talking about it."

"Right now I’m shuttling between “The Map and the Territory,” by the French novelist Michel Houellebecq, and the Patrick Melrose novels by Edward St. Aubyn, which everyone I know seems to be reading."

"In my office I tend to be racing through short books — Russell Hoban’s “Turtle Diary” and Edward St. Aubyn’s Melrose books and Lydia Millet’s “Magnificence” just now"
