Tom McCarthy.
Click to ContinueSynopsis: The first novel written by Booker finalist Tom McCarthy—acclaimed author of and — is set in a Central Europe rapidly fragmenting after the fall of communism. It follows an oddball cast—dissolute bohemians, political refugees, a football referee, a disorientated police agent, and a stranded astronaut—as they chase a stolen painting from Sofia to Prague and onward. Planting the themes that McCarthy’s later works develop, here McCarthy questions the meaning of all kinds of space—physical, political, emotional, and metaphysical—as reflected in the characters’ various disconnections. What emerges is a vision of humanity adrift in history, and a world in a state of disintegration.With an afterword by Simon Critchley, author ofRemainderCMen in SpaceThe Book of Dead Philosophers.
