FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE PROMISE 'A masterly
piece of fiction. Delicate and detailed' Daily Mail 'It is a
project to which Galgut, whose fiction has often covered the
terrain of love, race and politics, seems perfectly suited as a
writer... A remarkable, lyrical tribute' Guardian In this literary
tour de force, twice Booker shortlisted novelist Damon Galgut
evokes the life and work of E. M. Forster, his travels to India,
and the freedom and inspiration he found there. In 1912, the SS
Birmingham approaches India. On board is Morgan Forster, novelist
and man of letters, who is embarking on a journey of discovery. As
Morgan stands on deck, the promise of a strange new future begins
to take shape before his eyes. The seeds of a story start to gather
at the corner of his mind: a sense of impending menace, lust in
close confines, under a hot, empty sky. It will be another twelve
years, and a second time spent in India, before A Passage to India,
E. M. Forster's great work of literature, is published. During
these years, Morgan will come to a profound understanding of
himself as a man, and of the infinite subtleties and complexity of
human nature, bringing these great insights to bear in his
remarkable novel. At once a fictional exploration of the life and
times of one of Britain's finest novelists, his struggle to find a
way of living and being, and a stunningly vivid evocation of the
mysterious alchemy of the creative process, Arctic Summer is a
literary masterpiece, by one of the finest writers of his
generation.
