His debut novel, Hourglass, was nominated for the Desmond Elliott Prize.[1] The novel was praised by Nina Renata Aron in The Los Angeles Times, and received a more critical review from Alyssa Songsiridej in The Toronto Star.[2][3]
Goddard's second novel is I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning[4][5] In a review for The Guardian, Barney Norris described it as "a multivocal narrative focusing on a working-class community in Birmingham."[6] Kirkus Reviews praised the book's "extraordinary writing", but noted "[the five narrators] seem uncommonly reflective and articulate, even when drunk or stoned or suicidal."[7] The novel was published internationally and nominated for the Gordon Burn Prize.[8]
It is also being adapted for film[9] by Enda Walsh and Clio Barnard for BBC Film. It will star Daryl McCormack, Joe Cole, Lola Petticrew, Anthony Boyle, Jay Lycurgo, Millie Brady and Lucie Shorthouse.[10]
