About the Book

Beguiling cult favorite C. D. Rose is back with another foray into a mysterious, entrancing universe. This time, Rose has trained his sights on the art world in all its glamour, perversity, and ambition. 

When visitors to a famous conceptual artist’s installation begin disappearing, the aftershocks radiate outwards through twelve people who were involved in the project, launching them on a crazy-quilt trajectory that will end at one final, apocalyptic bacchanal. 

Mixing illusion and reality, simulacra and replicants, sound artists and death artists, performers and filmmakers and theorists and journalists, We Live Here Now spins a dazzling web that conveys, with eerie precision, the sheer strangeness of what it is like to be alive today.  

About the Author :

C. D. Rose is an award-winning short-story writer, and the author of the novels The Biographical Dictionary of Literary Failure and Who’s Who When Everyone Is Someone Else, as well as the story collections The Blind Accordionist and Walter Benjamin Stares at the Sea.  He lives in Hebden Bridge.



Review :

  • 'Here is a book that shows it is possible for a novel to be at once highly original and to fit within an established tradition... We Live Here Now is both accessible and challenging.' Daily Telegraph
  • ‘This is intelligent, playful, intriguing stuff which is also reminiscent of DeLillo and Auster.' The Big Issue
  • ‘C.D. Rose's latest novel is a surreal joyride... We Live Here Now is a deeply satisfying literary mystery that ducks and weaves together pressing ideas about how art shapes the way we look at the world, and the forces at work that dictate what we see.' TLS
  • 'The 2025 Goldsmiths prize winner is a fitfully brilliant tale set in the art world that blends the arcane with the mundane and the uncanny.' Observer
  • 'We Live Here Now challenges the novel’s form by focusing on texture, atmosphere and resonance...it traces the invisible circuits and networks – of art, capital and war – that shape our lives.’ The New Statesman
