Présentation de l'éditeur :

Dr James Darke has expelled himself from the world. He writes compulsively in his 'coming of old age' journal; he eats little, drinks and smokes a lot. Meditating on what he has lost - the loves of his life, both dead and alive - he tries to console himself with the wisdom of the great thinkers and poets, yet finds nothing but disappointment. But cracks of light appear in his carefully managed darkness; he begins to emerge from his self-imposed exile, drawn by the tender, bruised filaments of love for his daughter and grandson. Rich in ideas and feeling, Rick Gekoski's debut novel is provocative and timely. With scalding prose, ruthless intelligence and an unforgettably vivid protagonist, it faces some of the greatest, most uncomfortable questions about how we choose to live, and how to die.

Revue de presse :
"A very good storyteller" (Sunday Telegraph)

"Essential reading for any booklover, but it is also a supreme example of a natural and skilled storyteller at work" (Colm Toibin on TOLKEIN'S GOWN AND OTHER STORIES OF FAMOUS AUTHORS AND RARE BOOKS)

"Page after page of delight" (Sunday Times on TOLKEIN'S GOWN AND OTHER STORIES OF FAMOUS AUTHORS AND RARE BOOKS) --Sunday Times

"Gekoski's love of books is infectious" (Seattle Times on OUTSIDE OF A DOG) --Seattle Times

"Gekoski is endearing to read for his childlike enthusiasm for . . . well, for everything. There is nothing cynical or clever here, just real intelligence and true feeling - and the sense of humour" (Jeanette Winterson on OUTSIDE OF A DOG) --Jeanette Winterson
