Arkady is the 2018 debut novel of Patrick Langley, a British author and art critic. The novel follows orphaned brothers Jackson and Frank as they attempt to navigate a dystopian version of England.[1]
Reception
The novel was longlisted for the inaugural Deborah Rogers Writers Award under its original title, The Brothers King, as well as the Ondaatje Prize of the Royal Society of Literature.[2] A review in The Irish Times notes that "when Langley isn't painting elaborate tableaux, he is a brisk and engaging storyteller".[3]
