About the Book

C is the story of Serge Carrefax, a young man who sees the world uniquely and lives a short life unlike any other. Born at the dawn of the 20th century, Serge is quickly steeped in the weird emergent technologies and seductive new machinery of the day radio, cars, aeroplanes. When personal tragedy strikes, Serge s scientific passions shade into something darker, eclipsing his ability to engage with the world, people and daily life. But this existential malaise unleashes joyful new possibilities and an incredible story of death, sex, addictions and mythologies, taking us from the eerily idyllic settings of pre-war Europe to the battlefields and prison camps of World War One, and on to the London of the roaring twenties and finally the ancient tombs of Egypt. Reminiscent of Bolano, Beckett and Pynchon, this is a remarkable novel a compelling, sophisticated and sublimely imaginative book uncovering the hidden codes, patterns and dark rhythms that sustain human life.

About the Author :
Tom McCarthy was born in 1969 and grew up in London. His creation, in 1999, of the International Necronautical Society (INS), a 'semi-fictitious organisation' that combines literature, art and philosophy, has led to publications, installations and exhibitions in galleries and museums around the world, from Tate Britain and the ICA in London to Moderna Museet in Stockholm and The Drawing Center in New York. Tom regularly writes on literature and art for publications including The New York Times, The London Review of Books and Artforum.

Review :
A supercharged, fizzingly written Bildungsroman...the remix the novel has been crying out for. C is unquestionably brilliant...This is a genuinely exciting and spookily beautiful book, a new kind of joy. Beautiful ... a thrilling tale. This is one of the most brilliant books to have hit the shelves this year, and McCarthy deserves high praise for an electric piece of writing which should be read and enjoyed as much as dissected and discussed. A dizzying, mesmeric and beautifully written work...Tom McCarthy has written a novel for our times: refreshingly different, intellectually acute and strikingly enjoyable...it seems highly unlikely that anyone will publish a better novel this year. Spellbinding...[McCarthy's] ideas produce the electrifying, spooked ambience of a modernist symphony
