Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. A very clean copy. 'Open yourself up again to all that terrible light and savage bliss and deafening reverberation .' Nicola Barker's readers are primed to expect surprises, but her tenth novel delivers mind-meld on a metaphysical scale. From quiet beginnings in the picturesque English seaside enclave of Pett Level, 'In The Approaches' ultimately constructs its own anarchic city-state on the previously undiscovered common ground between G.K. Chesterton and Philip K. Dick. On the one hand, this is an old-fashioned romantic comedy of fused buttocks, shrunken heads and Irish-Aboriginal saints; on the other it's Barker's wildest and most haunting book since 2007's Booker Prize-shortlisted 'Darkmans'. Following previous celebrations of the enduring allure of the posted letter ('Burley Cross Postbox Theft') and the pre-lapsarian innocence of pre-Twitter celebrity (Booker-longlisted 'The Yips'), this concluding instalment of Barker's subliminally affiliated 'digital trilogy' imagines a basis for the internet in Catholic theology. Set in a 1984 which seems almost as distantly located in the past as Orwell's was in the future, 'In the Approaches' offers a captivating glimpse of something more shocking than any dystopia - the possibility of faith.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -'Made me almost tearful with gratitude that a book as clever as this could give such uncomplicated pleasure . And when you find a book like this, you grab it, and you hold it close.' JOHN SELF'A delight . As funny and vivid as Dickens, as moving and memorable as Nabokov . An extraordinarily large-hearted work.' THE CRITICPicked as a 'Book of the Year' in the Guardian____________________________________mountweazel, noun: a fake entry deliberately inserted into a dictionary or work of reference. Often used as a safeguard against copyright infringement.In the final year of the nineteenth century, Peter Winceworth has reached the letter 'S', toiling away for the much-anticipated and multi-volume Swansby's New Encyclopaedic Dictionary. Overwhelmed at his desk and increasingly uneasy that his colleagues are attempting to corral language and regiment facts, Winceworth feels compelled to assert some sense of individual purpose and exercise artistic freedom, and begins inserting unauthorised, fictitious entries into the dictionary. In the present day, young intern Mallory is tasked with uncovering these mountweazels as the text of the dictionary is digitised for modern readers. Through the words and their definitions she finds she has access to their creator's motivations, hopes and desires. More pressingly, she must also field daily threatening anonymous phone calls. Is a suggested change to the dictionary's definition of marriage (n.) really that controversial What power does Mallory have when it comes to words and knowing how to tell the truth And does the caller really intend for the Swansby's staff to 'burn in hell' As their two narratives combine, Winceworth and Mallory must discover how to negotiate the complexities of an often nonsensical, untrustworthy, hoax-strewn and undefinable life._____________________________________The Liar's Dictionary explores themes of trust and creativity, naming the unnameable, and celebrates the rigidity, fragility and absurdity of language. It is an exhilarating debut novel from a formidably brilliant young writer._____________________________________'Eley Williams's debut novel, The Liar's Dictionary, is a lexicographical delight.' OBSERVER'Deft and clever, refreshing and rewarding . An assured and satisfying writer, her language rich and intricate and her characters rounded enough to be sympathetic and lampoonist enough to be terribly funny.' LITERARY REVIEW'[The] most exciting of young British writers . Williams luxuriates in words and wordplay, in definition and precision and invention .The Liar's Dictionary is a public joy, and Eley Williams a free-spirited literary kook with bags of potential.' BIG ISSUE'A singular, hilarious, word-drunk novel, which I suspect will be seen in the future as a classic comic novel.' DAVID HAYDEN, IRISH TIMES'The Liar's Dictionary is the book I was longing for . Positively intoxicated with the joy and wonder of language . Eley Williams brings erudition and playfulness - and lovely sweetness - to every page.' BENJAMIN DREYER, New York Times bestselling author of DREYER' 288 pp. Englisch.

To temple owner, Rani Rashmoni, he is the Brahmin fated to defy tradition.
