Collected into one volume for the first time, all five installments of Edward St. Aubyn's celebrated Patrick Melrose novels
Now an Emmy® award nominated 5-part limited event series on Showtime, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Blythe Danner
Edward St. Aubyn has penned one of the most acclaimed series of the decade with the Patrick Melrose Novels. Now you can read all five novels in one volume: Never Mind, Bad News, Mother's Milk, Some Hope, and At Last.
By turns harrowing and hilarious, this ambitious novel cycle dissects the English upper class. Edward St. Aubyn offers his reader the often darkly funny and self-loathing world of privilege as we follow Patrick Melrose's story of abuse, addiction, and recovery from the age of five into early middle age.
The Patrick Melrose Novels are "a memorable tour de force" (The New York Times Book Review) by one of "the most brilliant English novelists of his generation" (Alan Hollinghurst).

No emotion is so subtle and fleeting he can't convey it, or so terrifying or shameful that he can't face it. -Lev Grossman, TimeParental death, heroin, childhood rape, emotional frigidity, suicide, alcoholismnothing about the plots can prepare you for the rich, acerbic comedy of St. Aubyn's world---or more surprising---its philosophical density. -Zadie Smith, Harper's MagazineI read the five Patrick Melrose novels in five days. When I finished, I read them again. -Ann Patchett, The GuardianExtraordinaryacidic humor, stiletto-sharp. -Francine ProseIntoxicatingly witty. -The New York Review of BooksWhy did it take me so long to fall in love with the brilliant novels of Edward St. Aubyn? -Brett Easton EllisThe most brilliant English novelist of his generation. -Alan HollinghurstOur purest living prose stylist. -The Guardian (London)A smoldering portrait of a class largely banished from fiction. -James LasdunExquisitely harrowing entertainment. -Sam LipsyteA spectacularly toxic confection. -The Village VoiceDialogue as amusing as Waugh's and narrative even more deft than Graham Greene's. -Edmund WhiteA staggeringly good prose stylist. -The Times (London)One of the preeminent writers of his.
