Soviet Hotel Dressing Gown
A book launch is being organised for May and I'll be appearing on the
Social Yet Distanced podcast for a third time (big thanks to Jack for having me on) around this time as well.
In the mean time, grab a copy of my new book 'Soviet Hotel Dressing Gown' here.
Praise for Soviet Hotel Dressing Gown:
“I REALLY fucking enjoyed the book, and I didn’t want it to end. It felt weirdly nostalgic despite clearly being set in present day. I wish I could express how much I enjoyed it. Still thinking about it.”

“It’s fitting that Soviet Hotel Dressing Gown is named after a song, a catchy ballad brimming with loss. Reading the book reminded me of the time I found beautiful broken glass in the field behind my house, and how later, after the field had caught fire, flames licking the sky above every house on the block, the gleam of the culprit – refracting glass – in my mind seemed to laugh. Likewise, the shimmering, dark undertones in Owens’s work won’t easily be forgotten.”

“I enjoyed 'Soviet Hotel Dressing Gown' like I enjoy a doner kebab. Reading it made me jealous. ”

“Christopher Owens has done it again...a beautifully written, stark, hallucinatory descent into loss, memory and the brutal ways cities shape the men who try to outrun them. Told in blistering fragments and fever-dream clarity, Soviet Hotel Dressing Gown is a raw, unflinching descent into loss, masculinity, and the way trauma echoes through cities and generations.”
