À propos de ce produit

Product Information

The first novel written by Booker finalist Tom McCarthy--acclaimed author of Remainder and C -- Men in Space 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 of The Book of Dead Philosophers

Reviews

"McCarthy is fast revealing himself as a master craftsman who is steering the contemporary novel towards exciting territories." - The Observer (London) "A confident and intelligent meditation on failed flights of transcendence." - Times Literary Supplement "[McCarthy] is the standard-bearer of the avant-garde novel." -Slate "A compelling and imaginative philosophical novel; McCarthy describes a world in which we are only occasionally party to brief, frightening intimations of greater forces at work, like the mysterious half-tuned transmissions at the ends of a radio dial." -Frieze Magazine "McCarthy [is] a formidable talent as a novelist." - The Nation, "Sophisticated. . . . A rich, encyclopedic text whose knowledge isn't confined to aesthetics. . . . An intellectually voracious cross section of a historical moment, and a thrilling indication of the vitality of the contemporary British novel." -- The New York Times Book Review "[McCarthy] is an agile and venturesome writer, adeptly shaping these disparate voices into a thrilling and satisfying symphony." -- The New Yorker "Imaginative, brooding, and stoutly thematic--even a bit romantic. The pacing is unique, and McCarthy is without a doubt an Important Literary Voice. . . . It's impossible to ignore the beautiful style of the prose. . . . It is clever that a treatise on the universal tendency to cut-and-paste, literally and figuratively, is set in the pre-email, pre-digital world. It is almost as if the goings-on were recorded in lush analog: everything that comes after moves too fast for the human eye to observe." -- The Houston Chronicle "There's an unmistakably desperate edge to the social frenzy among the Prague expats chronicled in Tom McCarthy's second novel, Men In Space . Their involvement in an art heist gone wrong on the eve of the Czech Republic's creation ultimately provides these foreigners with a sense of reckoning that suffuses all their good times. . . . McCarthy reports their struggles with irony but also kindness." -- The Onion A.V. Club "McCarthy depicts cosmopolitan street life with astonishing detail and humor. . . . Worth quoting at length." -- Open Letters Monthly "Intriguing. . . . McCarthy deftly knits together a continuous, chapterless narrative of changing viewpoints. The central story is intense and interesting. . . . Best described as Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly meets Milan Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting ; this is a tribute to what the novel can be. Enthusiastically recommended." -- Library Journal "The author, who lived through this tumultuous historical period and wrote this book in Prague, makes tangible the heady rush of freedom; his bone-deep understanding gives this transformative period a visceral charge." -- Publishers Weekly "McCarthy is fast revealing himself as a master craftsman who is steering the contemporary novel towards exciting territories." -- The Observer (London) "A confident and intelligent meditation on failed flights of transcendence." -- Times Literary Supplement, "Sophisticated. . . .
