INCLUDES 'PREQUEL' THE TOWER THE FIELDS THE TRANSMITTERS 'This book
spoke, it said "read me" from the very first sentence as if it were
alive, it gave me visceral joy' Kim Gordon 'Reading [Xstabeth]
feels like being cut open to the accompanying sound of ecstatic
music' Edna O'Brien 'Prepare for more of that inimitable Keenan
narrative voodoo brilliance' Wendy Erskine In St Petersburg,
Russia, Aneliya is torn between the love of her father and her
father's best friend. Her father dreams of becoming a great
musician but suffers with a naivete that means he will never be
taken seriously. Her father's best friend has a penchant for vodka,
strip clubs and moral philosophy. When an angelic presence named
Xstabeth enters their lives - a presence who simultaneously fulfils
and disappears those she touches - Aneliya and her father's world
is transformed. Moving from Russia to St Andrews, Scotland,
Xstabeth tackles the metaphysics of golf, the mindset of classic
Russian novels and the power of art and music to re-wire reality.
Charged with a consuming intensity and a torrential rhythm that
pulses with music, it is an offering of transcendence and a love
letter to the books of Chandler, Nabokov and Dostoevsky, by a
writer who is rewriting the rulebook of contemporary fiction.
