About this listen

A Book to Look Out For in 2022 for BBC, i-D MAGAZINE, and Foyles.

‘After a couple of weeks, I found myself standing outside the voids in the middle of the night listening for human activity, for any sign of life at all. Voids are flats that have been vacated, that will never be lived in again. But there never were any signs of life. Only the wind whistling through vacant interiors.'

In a condemned tower block in Glasgow, residents slowly trickle away until a young man is left alone with only the angels and devils in his mind for company. Stumbling from one surreal situation to the next, he encounters others on the margins of society, finding friendship and camaraderie wherever it is offered, grappling with who he is and what shape his future might take.

The Voids is an unsparing story of modern-day Britain, told with brilliant flashes of humour and humanity.

Excellent work

Not the journey I expected to be taken on at all - I very rarely find a book that can make me laugh out loud and also shed a tear. Robin Laing does exactly enough to give each character a voice without ever overdoing it. Highly recommended.

Very funny, heartbreaking, and wonderfully surreal
