Air

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

'Christian Kracht is the great German-language writer of his generation' Joshua CohenTwo men venture through strange landscapes towards unknowable destinations. Paul, a feted designer, wanders the echoing corridors of a server farm in Norway - before, in a sudden blackout, he seems to vanish. In another time and space, a wounded stranger wakes in a forest, watched over by a young girl who helps him flee to an icebound settlement where perhaps he will find safety.Inventive, enigmatic and chromatically resonant, Air is the seductively disorienting new novel from one of the most significant European writers working today. Heir to the ingenious fictions of Ursula K. Le Guin or Jorge Luis Borges, resistant to single interpretation, it unfolds as a haunting journey through a layered universe that may be a dream, the afterlife or reality's inverted twin.TRANSLATED BY DANIEL BOWLESPRAISE FOR EUROTRASH: 'Odd and evocative, a frolicking rumination' Times Critics' Best Book of the Year'Hilarious, unsettling and unexpectedly moving' Financial Times Best Translated Book of the Year
