Description
Tom's life is filled with meaning by the voice of Malamock, the Octopus God - sometimes loving, sometimes cruel. This extraordinary novel tells the story of Tom, who has lost his way in the British mental health system. His sister Tess encourages him into an experimental drugs trial that promises to silence the voice forever. But the Octopus God does not take kindly to being threatened. As Tom navigates this complex and often disturbing world, he must confront fundamental questions about belief and love. With its deeply moving and tragicomic tone, The Octopus Man is a bravura literary performance that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
