C. D. Rose on Unwords:
“So much more than a collection of essays and reviews, it forms itself into a true shadow book, one which contains multitudes.”

Emily Kate. “New Year, New Non-Fiction to read in 2024!” The Turnaround Blog, 17 January 2024:

“Speaking of books made to challenge and intrigue — Unwords by Andrew Gallix is the latest must-read title for fans of all things literary and perhaps a bit “meta”. Unwords consists of essays and reviews haunted by a phantom book the author never completed in his twenties. Andrew is one of the UK’s top literary critics, as founder of the blog 3:AM Magazine and a regular contributor to numerous magazines and newspapers. Inside Unwords, readers find the highest form of intergloss, from reviews to manifestos, from interviews to personal essays, and deep dives into captivating literary rabbit holes.”

This is not the book I wanted to write. I thought I should warn you before you venture any further. It is the least I can do. As well as the most.
