Reviews
"A stunningly strange book about the rarest of fictional subjects, happiness." --Jonathan Lethem, author of "Fortress of Solitude" ""Remainder" is a beautifully strange and chilly book. Bloody, cold, and more tasty than you'd probably like to admit. It's a very smart yet completely unpretentious novel, and unlike anything else you're likely to read for quite some time." --Scott Smith, author of "The Ruins" "It will remain with you long after you have felt compelled to re-read it." --"Time Out London" "Tom McCarthy has a singularity, a precision, a surreal logic and a sly wit that is all his own. It will be a long time before you read a stranger book-or a truer one." --Rupert Thomson, author of "Divided Kingdom" "Perfectly disturbing." --Kirkus Reviews "Strangely gripping . . . "Remainder" should be read (and, of course, reread) for its intelligence and humour." --"Times Literary Supplement" (London), "Captivating and challenging….Remainderisn't a mystery novelthere's no villain here apart from time and spaceso if its core ripples with ambiguity, all the better for the reader, as this is a book to be read and then reread, rich as it is with its insights, daring as it is with its contradictions." Los Angeles Times "The nameless narrator in this eerie debut is a Londoner severely injured in an accident. Months later, he received an £8.5 million settlement on the condition that he never speak about the payout or the incident againnot a problem, since he doesn't remember it. Our hero then begins to wholly recreate and re-enact portions of his old life with a salaried cast of extras, set designers, and stuntmen. In taut and chilly prose, McCarthy describes how this mission becomes a disturbing obsession; the horrifying conclusion is visible 30 pages off, but it's no less shocking when it arrives." Entertainment Weekly, A- "Tom McCarthy's first novel offers a vivid, subtle portrait of creeping madness." Time Out New York "A quick and gritty novel that begs, thanks largely to a cinematic plot, to be read in one sitting." BookSlut "A stunningly strange book about the rarest of fictional subjects, happiness." -Jonathan Lethem, author ofFortress of Solitude "Remainderis a beautifully strange and chilly book. Bloody, cold, and more tasty than you'd probably like to admit.

McCarthy's portrait of the pursuit of total control is arresting, and he is alert to the bland amorality that underlies it." -The New Yorker "What fun it is when a crafty writer plays cat and mouse with your mind, when you can never anticipate his next move and when, in any case, he knows all the exits to the maze and has already blocked them. . . . McCarthy's superb stylistic control and uncanny imagination transport this novel beyond the borders of science fiction. His bleak humor, hauntingly affectless narrator and methodical expansion on his theme makeRemaindermore than an entertaining brain-teaser: it's a work of novelistic philosophy, as disturbing as it is funny." -The New York Times Book Review "A chillingly clever novel of patterns that fools you into thinking it's a novel about plot . . . [McCarthy] is a new author who's ambitious and intelligent." -San Francisco Chronicle "Fresh, funny, and deeply disturbing." -New YorkMagazine "A novel of astonishing genius. . . . . It demands to be read in one sitting. So deftly does McCarthy absorb you into the mind of his hero that you quickly feel you are living with him inside his head. . . . The book caught me in such a delirious spin toward fragmentation and left me feeling every detail of the matter of life more keenly." -Sarah Cook,The Believer "Addictively strange." -Details "Tom McCarthy is shockingly talented. . . .Remainderis one of those novels that you finish and turn immediately back to the beginning, to fill in the gaps you may have missed the first time around. It leaves you feeling sort of shaken and very impressed." -Gawker.com "Nihilistically modern and classically structured. . . . Tightly knit, suspenseful . . . [Remainder] pursues an authenticity with the monomaniacal focus of Francis Ford Coppola circaApocalypse Now. . . . McCarthy tells his tale calmly, as if taking long, yogic breaths." -Bookforum "Captivating and challenging. . . .Remainderisn't a mystery novel-there's no villain here apart from time and space-so if its core ripples with ambiguity, all the better for the reader, as this is a book to be read and then reread, rich as it is with its insights, daring as it is with its contradictions." -Los Angeles Times "The nameless narrator in this eerie debut is a Londoner severely injured in an accident.

Synopsis
A man is severely injured in a mysterious accident, receives an outrageous sum in legal compensation, and has no idea what to do with it. Then, one night, an ordinary sight sets off a series of bizarre visions he can't quite place. How he goes about bringing his visions to life- and what happens afterward- makes for one of the most riveting, complex, and unusual novels in recent memory. "Remainder" is about the secret world each of us harbors within, and what might happen if we were granted the power to make it real., A man is severely injured in a mysterious accident, receives an outrageous sum in legal compensation, and has no idea what to do with it.

- h***l (91)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI was really excited to get this collection! It's such a large series that buying it individually on my own would have been a real pain. So built in value right there. The seller took a little while but stayed within the promised shipping time frame. Shipping was quite reasonable considering it was a box with 22 books. The books themselves were in good condition, just as described. The seller was very good about communication. I would highly recommend this store and will be a return shopper!

They were very receptive and open with communication. They did ship it accordingly when they received it as promised. Upon delivery, I was missing a second book. Again, seller was great and quick to response and Sent me the missing book. I was able to obtain the complete order. Very happy. Would recommend. Would buy again.
