Utz, a porcelain collector, lives in a very troubled Prague where
man is not in control of his life but subject to political events.
Utz deals with the situation by creating his own alternative world
- that of his Meissen figures, which retain their purity and beauty
while the surrounding world decays. A Booker-shortlisted novel,
rich in ideas. (Kirkus UK)
With Chatwin, the real excitement derives from an intellectual drama, in dialogues about art as a surrogate creation, a robbery of divine power, and art collecting as idolatry...For Chatwin ideas are the supreme fictions.' Observer
'Not a word is wasted in the telling of this tale. Each sentence is fashioned, polished, and put into place with microscopic care.'
