'A comic tour de force, a biting satire on the hypnotized world of
artificial wants and needs that Huxley predicted, a moving study of
brotherhood and family failure, F is an astonishing book, a work of
deeply satisfying (and never merely clever) complexity' - John
Burnside Artful and subversive, F tells the story of the Friedland
family - fakers, all of them - and the day when the fate in which
they don't quite believe catches up with them. Having achieved
nothing in life, Arthur Friedland is tricked on stage by a
hypnotist and told to change everything. After he abandons his
three young sons, they grow up to be a faithless priest, a broke
financier and a forger. Each of them cultivates absence. One will
be lost to it. A novel about the game of fate and the fetters of
family, F never stops questioning, exploring and teasing at every
twist and turn of its Rubik's Cube-like narrative. **Shortlisted
for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2015**
