'Perhaps a book about a work of art that swallows those who experience it can only really live up to its promise if it does the same to its readers ... I realise that sometimes, lost in its fitfully brilliant pages, that’s exactly what happened to me.' observer.co.uk/culture/book...

Great evening yesterday at the Goldsmiths Prize ceremony. One of very few literary prizes that actually rewards risk taking and experimentation. CD Rose won this year for We Love Here Now... Always good to see a Mancunian lifting a literary trophy! @goldsmithsprize.bsky.social
'We Live Here Now emerged similarly mysteriously, flying steadily & consistently under the radar before assuming its rightful place as the winner of this year’s Goldsmiths Prize.' Judge @simonokotie.bsky.social on why C.D. Rose won this year's Goldsmiths Prize. www.newstatesman.com/culture/book...
Why CD Rose won the 2025 Goldsmiths Prize for fiction
His fourth book We Live Here Now challenges the novel’s form by focusing on texture, atmosphere and resonance

'This constellatory novel tests the bounds of the form while delivering all of its satisfactions: at once hilarious and deeply haunting, intellectually challenging and supremely entertaining.’ (Amy Sackville, Chair of Judges) www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...
CD Rose awarded the 2025 Goldsmiths prize
The author has won the experimental literary fiction prize for his ‘dizzying, encyclopaedic’ fifth book, We Live Here Now
