Steven Hall

Writer

British novelist best known for The Raw Shark Texts (published 2007). His work blends metafictional conceits, conceptual metaphors and suspenseful plotting.

Author of The Raw Shark Texts (debut novel, 2007). Works often explore memory, identity and high-concept metaphors (e.g., conceptual "sharks").

Single DeBaser review lauds Steven Hall's debut (Italian: Le memorie dello squalo) as inventive metafiction blending memory loss, conceptual "sharks" and frenetic plotting. The reviewer highlights protagonist Eric Sanderson, the Ludovician conceptual predator, and strong surreal imagery (Non-Space, Orpheus). References to The Matrix and Jaws underscore the novel's mix of pop-culture and high-concept ideas. Overall a highly positive, energetic reading experience.

For:Readers of metafiction, experimental/ speculative fiction fans, readers who enjoy puzzle-like, concept-driven novels.

 One of the Best Books of the genre I've ever read, considering that it is the first of the author and deals with the "pure abstract": words, concepts, computers, parallel universes (n.d.s. Prof. Max Tegmark Dept. of Physics, MIT) and maybe even "quantum theory".
