Description
The Mark and the Void by Paul Murray is a comic masterpiece about love, art, greed and the banking crisis. A novel that weaves together a complex web of characters and events, including an investment bank, an art heist, a novel called For the Love of a Clown, and a pest control business run by an ex-KGB man. The story follows Claude Martingale, who becomes embroiled in a series of events when a down-on-his-luck author approaches him for his next great subject. As Claude's life becomes increasingly exciting under the author's fictionalizing influence, he finds himself falling in love with a beautiful waitress. But nothing is as it seems, and the Bank of Torabundo's dodgy dealings are about to come to a head. This novel is a stirring examination of the deceptions carried out in the names of art, love and commerce, and is also probably one of the funniest novels ever written about a financial crisis.
