'An absolute page-turner' Mail on Sunday Dear Mr. M, I'd like to
start by telling you that I'm doing better now. I do so because you
probably have no idea that I was ever doing worse. Much worse, in
fact, but I'll get to that later on. Mr. M is being watched. As a
famous writer, he is no stranger to the limelight, although
interest in his work has been dwindling of late. His print runs are
smaller than they used to be, as are the crowds at his bookshop
signings . . . Our narrator clearly takes a keen interest in M.'s
work, and indeed in every aspect of his life. But what exactly are
his intentions? And to what does Mr. M owe the honour of his
undivided attention? Our narrator seems to be no stranger to
murder, while his own story appears to bear more than a passing
resemblance to the plot of Mr. M's most famous novel: a teacher has
an affair with a student, only to be brutally murdered by the girl
and her teenage boyfriend. The body is never found. That's the
problem with fiction: in real life, bodies have an awkward habit of
turning up. Mr. M has used some artistic licence, and our narrator
is not pleased, not pleased at all. And just before he fades into
obscurity, he's prepared to give Mr. M one last review. And it's
unlikely to be a rave. Dear Mr. M is an unsettling and irresistibly
readable novel, set in the world of writing and bookselling, by
Herman Koch, the author of the international bestseller, The
Dinner.
