Description
Adam Mars-Jones' novel Caret continues the remarkable inner life of its protagonist, a character both original and unforgettable. Spanning multiple episodes, this semi-infinite novel is served in manageable portions, each providing a daily dose of literary nourishment. From John's idyllic time living out of his Mini in 1970s Cambridge to his musings on militant twelfth-century Hindu poetry and the intricacies of fine glassware, Mars-Jones' prose offers a unique blend of wit and insight. Caret is a long book, but its triple-whipped prose ensures a light and creamy texture. This novel is not for the faint of heart, but for those who appreciate a masterful work of comic observation, it is a true gift. Adam Mars-Jones' scrupulous eye enables him to see an entire era with clarity and precision, making even the most mundane subjects interesting. With its unique blend of wit, insight, and literary nourishment, Caret is a feast for readers who appreciate a well-crafted novel.
