'BRILLIANTLY SPIKY ... AS WELL AS BOASTING COMPELLING, SHARP PROSE, _NAME _FORCES READERS TO QUESTION WHAT ONE'S NAME MEANS - AND TO WHO' _ANOTHER MAGAZINE, _BEST BOOKS OF 2025 'Unsettling and beautiful, admirably unabashed' _Los Angeles Review of Books_ 'DEBRÉ'S VOICE IS CAMUSIAN, COMIC, STARK, RELENTLESS AND TOTALLY HYPNOTIC' RACHEL KUSHNER 'WRITTEN WITH EDGE AND URGENCY IN A VOICE THAT IS BOTH VULNERABLE AND IN FULL COMMAND' COLM TÓIBÍN 'Annie Ernaux, just edgier. Her prose is gorgeously spare and practical'_ Irish Independent_ _Name_ is Debré's most intense novel yet, a fresh feat of sharp, spare, yet explosive prose. Set partly in the narrator's childhood, it explores ideas about origins and reshapes relationships to our various inheritances: name, family, class, habits. As the novel unravels, freedom is revealed as a redefining of these relationships on one's own terms. Brilliant and unflinching, _Name_ affirms and extends Debré's radical project.
