Adam Farrer is a bold and innovative new voice in nonfiction writing, known for his keen observations and gentle wit. His work explores the bleak truths of loss and deprivation alongside the eccentric humor of humans being themselves. Farrer's writing is witty, charming, moving, and authentic.

Before relocating to Withernsea in 1992, Adam Farrer had never heard of the Holderness coast. The move represented a chance for him to leave the insecurities of early adolescence behind and pursue his dreams anywhere. However, what he didn't know was how much he would grow to love the quirks and people of this faded Yorkshire resort, despite its dilapidated attractions and retreating clifftops.

While Adam documents the minutiae of small-town life, he also reveals universal experiences through stories of reinvention, seagulls, interdimensional werewolves, burlesque dancing pensioners, and his compulsion towards the sea. "Cold Fish Soup" is an affectionate look at a place and its inhabitants, exploring how they can shape and influence someone, especially during their impressionable age. Farrer's account delves into the meaning of loving and being shaped by a place under threat, while also finding hope and hilarity in community.

Adam Farrer's writing is a testament to his talent and ability to capture the essence of human experiences. His work is insightful, witty, and relatable, making him a rising star in the nonfiction genre. Whether he's exploring the quirks of small-town life or delving into deeper themes of loss and resilience, Farrer's writing always leaves a lasting impression. We can expect to see more of his work in the years to come, as he continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in nonfiction writing.
