Short-listed for the Man Booker Prize
A "New York" Magazine Best Book of the Year
In "Satin Island, " Tom McCarthy the acclaimed, Man Booker Prize-nominated author of "Remainder" and "C" captures the way we experience our world and our efforts to find meaning in the narratives we think of as our lives. U., a corporate anthropologist, is tasked with preparing the Great Report, an all-encompassing ethnographic document that sums up our era. Yet at every turn, he feels himself overwhelmed by the ubiquity of data. But just as U. begins to wonder if his project will ever take shape, his senses are startled awake by a dream of an apocalyptic cityscape. Unlike anything you ve read before, "Satin Island" is a mind-bending adventure from one of the most original voices in literature today."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
spends his days procrastinating, meandering through endless buffer-zones of information and becoming obsessed by the images with which the world bombards him on a daily basis: oil spills, African traffic jams, roller-blade processions.
