High-concept fiction is having a moment. Funny, inventive and crackling with big ideas, these ambitious stories will have you instantly hookedFlorence Knapp’s first novel The Names, publishing this month, tells not one story but three. As it opens, a mother is preparing to take her newborn boy to formally register his name.
