Über diesen Titel

THE WASHINGTON POST'S TOP TEN NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEAR • WINNER OF THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE • SHORTLISTED FOR PRIX FÉMINA ETRANGER • LONGLISTED FOR PRIX MÉDICIS • An exquisite, genre-defying new book from the Booker Prize–winning author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North, a reckoning with his life and family, and the role of fiction in our times

"Spectacular. . . A book that will have an overwhelming effect on readers.” Colm Tóibín, author of Long Island


Sometimes I wonder why we keep returning to beginnings—why we seek the single thread we might pull to unravel the tapestry we call our life...

By way of H. G. Wells and Rebecca West’s affair through 1930s nuclear physics to Flanagan's father working as a slave laborer near Hiroshima when the atom bomb is dropped, this daisy chain of events reaches fission when Flanagan as a young man finds himself trapped in a rapid on a wild river not knowing if he is to live or to die.

At once a love song to his island home and to his parents, this hypnotic melding of dream, history, place and memory is about how our lives so often arise out of the stories of others and the stories we invent about ourselves.

I really enjoyed this book and the fact that it was read by the author himself. It is an intriguing mixture of memoire, fiction and historical non-fiction, that covers very deep topics such as existential guilt, meaning, colonialism and subjectivity of memory. The language is very poetic and yet concise, so also a great audio experience for those learning English as a foreign language.

My favourite book by Flanagan
