'Brilliantly spiky ... As well as boasting compelling, sharp prose, Name forces readers to question what one's name means - and to who' AnOther Magazine, Best Books of 2025<BR><BR>'Unsettling and beautiful, admirably unabashed' Los Angeles Review of Books<BR><BR>'Debré's voice is Camusian, comic, stark, relentless and totally hypnotic' Rachel Kushner<BR><BR>'Written with edge and urgency in a voice that is both vulnerable and in full command' Colm Tóibín<BR><BR>'Annie Ernaux, just edgier.

Her prose is gorgeously spare and practical' Irish Independent<BR><BR>Name is Debré's most intense novel yet, a fresh feat of sharp, spare, yet explosive prose. Set partly in the narrator's childhood, it explores ideas about origins and reshapes relationships to our various inheritances: name, family, class, habits. As the novel unravels, freedom is revealed as a redefining of these relationships on one's own terms.

Brilliant and unflinching, Name affirms and extends Debré's radical project.
