I am deputy editor of Icon, a monthly architecture and design magazine.
I am also the author of Care of Wooden Floors, a novel about a man being driven insane by minimalist interior decoration, which is OUT NOW from HarperPress. Buy from Waterstones or Amazon, or support your local independent bookshop..
Care of Wooden Floors is one of the Waterstones 11, the bookseller's pick of the best debut novels of 2012.
Praise for Care of Wooden Floors:
"Highly idiosyncratic, well-written, with a vivid sense of place – and weirdly compelling." - Michael Frayn
"Ye Gods - Care of Wooden Floors is a wonderful work. Precisely constructed, with an eye that sees in between the everyday spaces of our lives, it sheds new light, not only on ourselves, but on the contemporary novel itself." - Lee Rourke
“... reads like “Some Mothers Do ’Ave ’Em” as if written by Kafka. This very funny novel has a fantastic twist and asks us to consider how important our environment is to life, love and creativity." - Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Bookseller, 18 November 2011
“4/5 stars ... For the most part, Wiles's farcical plot (in its essence a staple since at least the days of silent comedy) is sharpened by his aphoristic asides. This is a smart and polished debut." - Brian Dillon, The Daily Telegraph, 28 January 2012
"Weirdly addictive, and rather clever, too." - Stephanie Cross, Daily Mail, 3 February 2012
"It’s hilarious, it’s cringe-worthy, it plays havoc with everyday situations we’ve all encountered, and it’s utterly, utterly brilliant." - Lisa Randall, We Love This Book
"The story twists through some brutal slapstick, then gets darker than matt-black leather." - Shortlist, February 2012
