Competition: Dezeen are giving readers the chance to win one of five copies of architecture and design critic Will Wiles‘ novel about how interior design affects the way we live, called Care of Wooden Floors.
The narrator agrees to look after the apartment of his old university friend, a minimalist composer, hoping the calm of an immaculate domestic environment in an unfamiliar eastern European city will inspire him to fulfil his potential as a writer. But things do not go entirely to plan. One accident leads to another and before long he is wrestling with questions of life, death and how to take care of his friend’s precious wooden floors.
Care of Wooden Floors was featured on Radio 4′s Book at Bedtime, was one of the 2012 Waterstones 11 and was longlisted for the Desmond Elliot Prize. The book was recently released in a paperback version and retails at £12.99.
Will Wiles is a design and architecture journalist and a contributing editor for Icon magazine. The book is published by HarperPress.
