Stephen May writes contemporary literary fiction about family, identity and people trying to escape versions of themselves they no longer want. *Life! Death! Prizes!* follows Billy, a young man suddenly responsible for his six-year-old brother after their mother is killed, combining grief with the practical absurdities of improvised parenting. *Wake Up Happy Every Day* centres on a man who takes over the identity of a dead friend and tries to construct a better life from the deception, while *Stronger Than Skin* examines the long consequences of a relationship begun years earlier. May’s novels are conversational, darkly comic and character-led. His work fits contemporary British fiction, family drama and identity-focused literary fiction rather than plot-heavy genre writing.
