![]() ![]() ![]() I was more than a little daunted by this brick of a novel by Michael Faber, but such is his incredible characterisation and ability to wrong foot you at every turn, that you’re left wishing you could stay in his world a little longer. This is a new feature for 2021 where I look back at a book that I’ve already read, possibly years ago, and bring it to reader’s attention. The truth is that you are an alien from another time and place altogether. You may imagine, from other stories you’ve read, that you know it well, but those stories flattered you, welcoming you as a friend, treating you as if you belonged. This city I am bringing you to is vast and intricate, and you have not been here before. Keep your wits about you you will need them. Publisher: Canongate Books, 2014 – Paperback Edition ![]()
