Recent Alumni Successes
We wanted to celebrate the successes in 2024 of three MSt alumni – Christine Anne Foley, Daisy Johnson and Jingan Young. Christine’s novel Bodies was one of last year’s most acclaimed debuts; Daisy’s latest collection of short stories, The Hotel, further solidified her reputation as one of the leading writers of her generation; and Jingan’s work on the hit ITV series Red Eye saw her recognised as a major screenwriting talent. We’re proud to count them among our former students here on the MSt.

“WHAT’S MINE is a surprising and deep work with a persistent quiet momentum carrying the reader back-and-forth in time and space across the slivers of four interlocking lives. It is totally engaging.”
—BRIAN ENO
“Bette Adriaanse is becoming a major literary novelist in the best European tradition. She has the down-and-out life experiences of the early Orwell, the desperate humor of Flann O’Brien, the prose immediacy of Beckett, and the avalanche of bureaucracy of Kafka. WHAT’S MINE is a stellar achievement of depicting the absurdist brutality of contemporary urban capitalism where nothing but narcissism and arbitrary outcomes rule.”
—ALAN N SHAPIRO
