A man with a borrowed name steps from a flashy red sports car also
borrowed onto the estate of his youth. But all is not as it seems.
There is a new family living in the drafty old house: the Godleys,
descendants of the late, world-famous scientist Adam Godley, whose
theory of existence threw the universe into chaos. And this mystery
man, who has just completed a prison sentence, feels as if time has
stopped, or was torn, or was opened in new and strange ways. He
must now vie with the idiosyncratic Godley family, with their
harried housekeeper who becomes his landlady, with the recently
commissioned biographer of Godley Sr., and with a wealthy and
beautiful woman from his past who comes bearing an unusual request.
With sparkling intelligence and rapier wit, John Banville revisits
some of his career s most memorable figures, in a novel as
mischievous as it is brilliantly conceived. The Singularities
occupies a singular space and will surely be one of his most
admired works.
