Something Might Come of it… is Charlie Hill’s gazetteer of a divided Britain, short write-ups of city suburbs and rural locations including Birmingham’s canals, London's pubs, Welsh common land and the Scottish coast. Hill writes with a comic, profane eye and an anger at inequality he is quick to turn on himself, setting second homes and a Duke’s acres against food banks, zero-hours work, and rough sleepers, while asking whether a writer should record the world or take sides. Through it all runs a wary, unsentimental hope that something might yet come of it.

PRAISE FOR SOMETHING MIGHT COME OF IT...

Charlie Hill’s lyric fragments about modern Britain are like pearls at the bottom of a dreary ocean. Venturing through heartlands and edgelands in search of the hidden and the unheard, his voice is by turns plaintive and plausible in the service of a radical curiosity about what this land is, was, and could be. This is a book that teems with insight, energy, and abundant intellectual riches.

— Alex Niven

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Charlie Hill started writing on buses and in the pub and his first novel was published in 2010. He now works as a call handler and an Advisory Fellow for the Royal Literary Fund. He likes to take risks with his prose; fans include the novelist and short story writer Carys Bray, who has said ‘Hill renders the ordinary extraordinary’, and the poet and novelist Neil Campbell: ‘Charlie Hill is a poet of suburbia.’ Charlie still lives in Birmingham, though he is happiest up a fell or near the sea.
