After returning from a pleasant holiday with his wife, Astrid, and
their two children, Thomas walks out the front door. Thomas walks
up the street. Thomas keeps walking. Astrid gradually realizes that
her husband has not just gotten up early to go to work. She waits
for as long as she can and then puts as much energy as she can into
trying to find him - coming to understand, along the way, that
there is little she can do if Thomas is striving to stay lost. In
precise and hypnotic prose that cuts as cleanly as a scalpel, To
the Back of Beyond is a novel that takes away the safe foundations
of a marriage and a lifestyle to ask deeper questions about
identity, connection and how free we are to change our lives. It is
a graceful and resonant work from one of Europe's most important
writers.
