Tessa Hadley is very well regarded in serious writing circles in Britain. This is not just because she is professor of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, England, but because she has a string of successful novels and some fine collections of short stories behind her.
The Past won the Hawthornden Prize for 2016 and Bad Dreams won the 2018 Edge Hill Short Story Prize. Her admirers include luminaries such as Hilary Mantel, Zadie Smith and the brilliant Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Yet she is not that well known outside literary circles and is certainly nowhere near being a household name. Late In The Day, for me, helps explain why.
