Remainder
Remainder

Obsessive quest for authenticity after traumatic windfall.

"Remainder" isn't just a novel; it's an experience. If you're intrigued by the psyche’s darker corners and the concept of reinvention after abrupt change, this book pulls you into an eerie journey of obsession and memory. Tom McCarthy crafts a fascinating narrative around the unsettling efforts of a man trying to claw back his sense of self, making you ponder the nature of reality. It will resonate if you appreciate art that challenges and doesn't provide easy answers.

Description

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.
