— MY LATEST BOOK
Hello, welcome.
I write books, articles and poems. I also make podcasts and radio documentaries like this one:
My most recent book is all about the strange and contested concepts of mental health and illness. It was a Sunday Times Book of the Year and longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize. I’d love for you to read it.
Take a look around this site to find out more about me and my writing, and please feel free to get in touch.
‘A truly important book. Radically open-hearted and vitally open-minded. Read it, and share it, and talk about it.’
‘Nathan Filer is following in the footsteps of Mark Haddon’s genre-setting The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time. Both funny and painful… you’re going to love it’
