In a new novel, Before, the acclaimed author of The Book of Man continues his examination of the nature of loss - of lovers and friends - and the false narratives constructed by memory. Francoise was "improbably lovely," the type of character you see in movies. Of course, her life was a life, not a movie. But as the narrator, stunned by the news of her death, tells "her" story, he cannot find the reality of his friend in the dark, romantic film that flickers in his mind. As he searches for Francoise in a nightmare cityscape of desperate sex and casual violence, he finds only reflections of his own loss. In haunting, cinematic prose, Before looks unflinchingly at the impermanence of human connection and probes the arcane links between seemingly unrelated experiences. This volume also contains sixteen stories never before published in the US. Set in the urban jungles of America and Scotland, in a world of ravers and gangsters, Before marks its author as the cruelest and funniest chronicler of loneliness and terror today. Paperback, Label: Incommunicado Pr, Incommunicado Pr, Product group: Book, Published: 1997-08-01, Studio: Incommunicado Pr, Sales rank: 6271030.
