Owen Sheers

The extraordinary talent and power of Owen Sheer’s poetry have earned him many accolades, starting with the Vogue Young Writer’s Award in 1991 and through to the coveted Somerset Maugham Award in 2006 for his collection Skirrid Hill. More recently, his debut novel, Resistance, was shortlisted for the Writers Guild Best Book Award in 2008 and is presently being developed into a major film production.

Resistance is at once a brilliant and sometimes frightening thriller, and a mature exploration of human blur and compromise.”
– Jan Morris, The Guardian

“An impressive debut and confirms Sheers as a writer whose talent encompasses a variety of literary forms.”

– The Independent
