Experience a shipwrecked sailor's disintegration into 'a naked
madman on a rock' by the radical Nobel Laureate and author of Lord
of the Flies, introduced by Marlon James. An hour on this rock is a
lifetime. Glistening limpets. Lobster claws. Wild tangles of
seaweed. Slowly, his eyes open. Everywhere, there is sea. Only this
jagged peak interrupts the vast expanse of the Atlantic: a tooth in
a gaping jaw. But he will survive. Rainwater can be drunk; anemones
eaten. He dries his oilskin beneath the screaming gulls, and
discovers his papers: Christopher Hadley Martin, TY. Lieut.,
R.N.V.R. Weathering lightning strikes of memory, he must now
reconstruct his fate - piece by terrible piece. 'Wizardry of the
first order.' Observer 'Terrifying . Magnificently original.'
Sylvia Plath 'Devastating ... Violently real ... The unique kind of
novel that compels you to reread it.' Marlon James 'An amazing tour
de force ... A blow-by-blow struggle for survival.' Stephen Spender
'Immense ... To read it is to undergo a shattering and memorable
experience.' Kingsley Amis 'A master fabulist ... An iconoclast.'
John Fowles
