Never heard of Susanna Clarke or her novel. My first thought at hearing the name Piranesi is Brian Ferneyhough's Carceri d'invenzione cycle of works. Just goes to show that Piranesi, like other artists, inspired quite a lot of people and one can't expect a journalist to mention one's favourites among them when he/she is interested in the artist himself.

It was a recent and popular work of fiction, by a well known author. If you like anything related, I’d encourage you to check it out.
She has another book Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell which is fantastic. It’s a long one but I enjoyed it all the way
...Clarke's novel is the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth Google result, _and_ the sidebar, when one (incognito-)searches "Piranesi".
