Description
Clear: A Transparent Novel by Nicola Barker In September 2003, David Blaine's 44-day hunger stunt in a Perspex box near the River Thames captivated a huge crowd. While some saw it as a religious experience or an excuse for revelry, others were drawn to its spectacle. For Adair Graham MacKenny, the event was a chance to pick up girls. Barker's novel offers a humorous and thought-provoking portrait of a world where illusion and delusion collide with celebrity and hunger. A riotous peep-show of modern life unfolds as Adair navigates his own desires and insecurities in the midst of this extraordinary spectacle. With its witty prose and insightful commentary, Clear: A Transparent Novel is a compelling exploration of human nature and our fascination with the unknown.
