The Rider has no memory of who he is, where he is, or how he came
to be lying--dying-- in the brutal heat of the North African
desert. Rescued by a band of deserters, the Rider begins to piece
together his identity, based on shards of recollection and the
letters in his mailbag. The Letter Bearer is unlike any other novel
of World War Two. In the midst of profound trauma, terrible
warfare, and the nameless experience of desertion, this gripping
story asks us to consider how men build hope when they have nothing
left--not even a name. When first published last year in London,
Robert Allison's debut novel was met with wide praise and was
nominated for the Desmond Elliott Prize, described by one of its
judges as "'An excellent and elegant novel written with patience
and authority . . ." Readers of Michael Ondaatje and Paul Bowles
will find the landscape familiar, but no reader will ever forget
the haunting and haunted story of this remarkable victim.
