Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Opening in England at the turn of the twentieth century, C is the story of Serge Carrefax, whose father experiments with wireless communication while running a school for deaf children.

But then again, everything about this book is unusual. [] Opening in England at the turn of the twentieth century, C is the story of a boy named Serge whose father spends his time experimenting with wireless communication while running a school for deaf children. Serge grows up amid the noise and silence with his older sister, Sophie, who provides him with companionship and connection to the outside world--until he sets off on a winding road of adventure and misadventure that leads him to Egypt, where he's bitten by a scarab in a tomb while having sex with a research assistant. Did I mention how unusual this book is? Tom McCarthy is quickly becoming one of our most original young writers. Here, he effortlessly mixes the generational breadth of Ian McEwan with the postmodern wit of Thomas Pynchon. C is a novel you won't soon forget."--Sonny Mehta, Editor in Chief, on back cover. "A tour de force . . . An intellectually provocative novel that unfurls like a brooding, phosphorescent dream."--Jennifer Egan. "C is for carbon and cocaine, Cairo and CQ, and many other things besides. Under the elegant curve of the letter lies a fantastically detailed landscape of tiny pen-strokes that, if seen from high enough above, coalesce into a face, laughing uproariously. Tom McCarthy's latest is terrifically stylish, acrobatic, and insidious."--Lucy Sante. Near Fine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.…
