| The first chapter of my novel-in-progress, Rosa and the Song Machine, appeared in New Writing 11 (British Council/Picador), edited by Andrew O'Hagan and Colm Toibin. The book was published in 2002. | From reviews of New Writing 11: Although Charles Fernyhough's story ‘Fado’ is altogether different, here, too, place—whether County Durham or Goa—has a fundamental role. Fernyhough’s most striking feature is his burnished style, which is pitched somewhere between Joseph Conrad and E M Forster. Daily Telegraph There is an engagingly Jamesian cadence to this strong opening paragraph... Fernyhough’s language is unfailingly intelligent. Joyce Carol Oates, Times Literary Supplement |

| 'Joyful Lagers' was reprinted in Magnetic North: New Work from North East Writers (New Writing North) in 2005. | From reviews of Magnetic North: Charles Fernyhough's 'Joyful Lagers of the World' is the beautifully written tale of Carl, a man aiming to do his bit to help save Sunderland's brewing industry. It's a perfect balance of humour and a serious heart. www.laurahird.com The New Review |
