Description
All Souls is a darkly comedic exploration of Oxford life, where the lines between work and leisure are blurred. A young tutor's life becomes entangled with that of a visiting Spanish lecturer, leading to a complex web of desire, loneliness, and vanity.
As they navigate their affair, set against the backdrop of a city notorious for its lack of productivity, Marías crafts a story of lust, memory, and the human need for connection. With brilliant observation and pin-sharp wit, he reveals the intricate workings of this strange world.
This Penguin Modern Classics edition features a new Introduction by John Banville, adding depth to this masterful novel of black humour.
