/lit/, where should I start with this lad? I'm thinking

I wouldn't bother with him honestly. He's a bit of a hack who used his dad's literary fame to jumpstart his career. Some of his books like the two you mentioned are somewhat enjoyable but you could be using your time to read something better. I made the mistake of buying the Zone of Interest in hardback when it came out a few years ago, it made me cringe, a lot.

I think he's not bad. He has his own style - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't Actually preferred his earlier work to the more famous stuff. I personally quite like the Zone of Interest though. London Fields and Money are decent.

His literary criticism, on the other hand, is generally excellent and I absolutely recommend it.
