Description
A masterful new novel from one of the greatest writers alive. Paul Rayment's life is turned upside down after a calamitous cycling accident results in the amputation of a leg, leaving him humiliated and his body truncated. As he struggles to come to terms with his new circumstances, he turns away from friends and hires a nurse named Marijana, who has a European childhood in common with him. However, Paul's feelings for Marijana and her teenage son are complicated by the arrival of Elizabeth Costello, a celebrated Australian novelist who threatens to take over the direction of his life. As Paul navigates this complex web of relationships, he must confront the harsh realities of suffering and the generosity of care. This is a powerful work of fiction that explores the human spirit with unflinching vision. A poignant and thought-provoking novel by one of the world's greatest writers, Slow Man is a masterful work of storytelling that will stay with readers long after they finish the book.
