About
Brief, by design.
Nathan Hesketh writes fiction about power, performance and the gap between what people say and what they mean.
He is interested in the moments when public language fails, when a politician answers a question nobody asked, or when the most important thing in a room is the thing no one will mention.
The Margin Notes is his first novel, out now on Kindle, in paperback and in hardback. His second, Least Reliable Instrument, is published on 21 December 2026.
