    • Abstract:
      Andrew O'Hagan's novel, Caledonian Road, offers readers an intimate and entertaining glimpse into the secret enclaves of London in 2021. Inspired by Tom Wolfe and Upton Sinclair, O'Hagan explores various worlds, including street gangs, high-end fashion, and Russian oligarchs. The novel has received positive reviews for its breadth, depth, and enjoyable contemporary detail. O'Hagan, a journalist and novelist, believes that fiction has the power to fight back against political misinformation and conspiracy theories, making it a valuable tool in today's reality-deficient world.
