This author's novel, Divided Kingdom, draws some self-conscious hyperbole from Carrie Frye: "Why this book got left off the Booker longlist makes me question the existence of God. Or at least the presence of someone on the committee with similar taste to mine." Thomson is the author of several other novels: The Book of Revelation, The Insult, Air and Fire, Soft!, and Five Gates of Hell.
