O knihe

'The big read with the big answers. A dizzying voyage that touches on many of the key issues of our time' Sunday Times

Early one September morning in 2008, a man arrives, unannounced and agitated, at the home of an old friend. The friend takes a minute to place him: they have not seen each other since Zafar disappeared suddenly some years before.

Zafar has returned to make a confession of unsettling power.

Told in the quiet of a London house, in a conversation as epic as it is intimate, his story is, in many ways, the story of our century.

'An extraordinary meditation on the limits and uses of human knowledge, a heart-breaking love story and a gripping account of one man's psychological disintegration' Observer

'Utterly absorbing' Guardian

'A brilliant novel' New York Times
