Ann Quin, one of the best kept secrets of British experimental writing, has garnered comparisons to such diverse writers as Samuel Beckett and Nathalie Sarraute. Before her death in 1973, she published four novels, including "Berg" and "Passages". In 1964 she became the first female recipient of the D. H. Lawrence Fellowship which allowed her to travel to the U.S., a trip that provided the basis for "Tripticks".

"The amount of wit and beauty Three finds in its own uncertainty makes it one of the most compelling novels of its time." —Juliet Jacques, Music & Literature"Exquisitely written from the first page to the last." —The Scotsman"‘I suspect that Ann Quin will eventually be viewed, alongside BS Johnson and Alexander Trocchi, as one of the few mid-century British novelists who actually, in the long term, matter." —Tom McCarthy"Quin understood she was on to something new." —Deborah Levy
