Very Good Condition. 9781841958088 304 pages. Available Now. Book Description: The Museum of Doubt is a new collection of surreal and unnerving short stories from award-winning writer James Meek. The array of characters who populate Meek's vague and elusive worlds are driven by paranoia and doubts, as well as hopes and fears of things only half-glimpsed. : Review: Demanding and rewarding, lyrical and vernacular, smart and entertaining. (Times Literary Supplement): Ricochets between the supernatural and the suburban throughout...the writing fizzes...This is true experimental writing: careless of taboo, teeming with ideas, elusive yet utterly controlled. (Guardian): Bristling with wit and invention, these tales are full of hair-brained schemes, hair-raising moments, and incredibly close shaves...tongue-twisting wordplay, clipped dialogue and well-groomed characters ..These stories are all collector's items. (Sunday Herald): The maniac energy of Kerouac pulses throughout the prose, but there is also a hallucinatory horror and hyper-realist constraint miraculously balanced in a manner which suggests the perfect fusion of Kafka and Kelman. (The Scotsman) : From the Back Cover: 'Ricochets between the supernatural and the suburban ... it fizzes.' Guardian: 'Stories of antler eaters, fish smokers and suburban psychopaths make up this often startling and always disturbing collection.' Duncan McLean: 'One of the country's finest writers.' GQ: 'Demanding and rewarding, lyrical and vernacular, smart and entertaining.' Times Literary Supplement: 'The maniac energy of Kerouac pulses throughout the prose. A disturbing, magical blend of reality and: fantasy.' Scotsman Size: 12.9 x 1.9 x 19.7 cm. 304 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; Paperback; ISBN: 1841958085. ISBN/EAN: 9781841958088.
