About the Book

Mike Engleby says things that others dare not even think.A man devoid of scruple or self-pity, he rises without trace in Thatcher's England and scorches through the blandscape of New Labour.In the course of his brief, incandescent career, he and the reader encounter many famous people -actors, writers, politicians, household names -but by far the most memorable is Engleby himself.This work is a lament for a generation and the country it failed. It is also a meditation on the limits of science, the curse of human consciousness and on the lyrics of 1970s rock music.And beneath this highly disturbing surface lies an unfolding mystery of gripping narrative power. For when one of Mike's contemporaries unaccountably disappears the reader has to ask- is even the shameless Engleby capable of telling the whole truth?

About the Author :
Date- 2004-09-22 Sebastian Faulks's books include A Possible Life, Human Traces, On Green Dolphin Street, Engleby, Birdsong and the number one bestseller A Week in December. Sebastian Faulks was born in April 1953. He was brought up in Newbury, Berkshire. Before resolving to become a full-time writer in 1991, he worked as a journalist for the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph (1978-86) and as Literary Editor of the Independent (1986-91). His 'French trilogy' of novels - The Girl at the Lion d'Or, Birdsong and Charlotte Gray (1989-1997) - established him in the front rank of British novelists. UK sales of the trilogy are over 3.5 million. He was appointed CBE in 2002. Other novels include A Fool's Alphabet (1992), On Green Dolphin Street (2001) and Human Traces (2005). His biographical study, The Fatal Englishman, was published in 1996 and a book of literary parodies, Pistache, in 2006. Sebastian Faulks lives in London with his wife and their three children.

Review :
"Faulks is beyond doubt a master" "A novelist with muscle, with affinities to the great Europeans" "The best novelist of his generation" "If you've seen Anthony Minghella's 1991 film Truly Madly Deeply, you'll remember the lovely man, Michael Maloney, who breathes vim back into widow Juliet Stevenson's life. With a ragbag of note-perfect accents and infinite, understated charm, Maloney does the same for the audio version of Sebastian Faulks's new novel, Engleby...Engleby is not someone you want to spend much time with, unlike Maloney, whose subtle, faultless narration you'll want to listen to for hours." "Sebastian Faulks's Engleby is read by Michael Maloney, who makes Mike Engleby chippy, offhand, disconnected and seriously weird by turn...a compelling, disconcerting listen as you search for the truth only Engleby knows."
