Sebastian Faulks's new novel is a bolt from the blue, unlike anything he has written before- contemporary, demotic, heart-wrenching - and funny, in the deepest shade of black.
Sebastian Faulks was born in April 1953. Before becoming a full-time writer in 1991, he worked as a journalist. Sebastian Faulks's books include A Possible Life, Human Traces, On Green Dolphin Street, Engleby, Birdsong, A Week in December and Where My Heart Used to Beat.
[A] book that made me realise there are fewer boundaries in fiction
than I'd believed
*Writing Magazine*
Like Human Traces, Engleby is distinguished by a remarkable
intellectual energy: a narrative verve, technical mastery of the
possibilities of the novel form and vivid sense of the tragic
contingency of human life... The combination of serious purpose and
playful execution is intensely exhilarating
*Sunday Telegraph*
Beautifully done... A portrait of one mind out of joint with its
times, and eventually defeated by them... Witty, poignant, Engleby
is as cold as a Fenland wind, as clever as a Cambridge don
*The Times*
His most brilliant novel yet
*Daily Telegraph*
Brilliant
*Observer*
