Publisher : WN (13 May 2021). A story about a scandal that has shaken the literary world and an accusation of serial plagiarism. Reading Dead Souls feels like discovering the British Bolantilde;o and not just for the gleeful dismantling of the cultural ego: the restless searching sensibility; the precise tuning-in to contradictory voices.

About this product

Product Information

'I first heard about Solomon Wiese on a bright, blustery day on the South Bank...' Later that evening, at the bar of the Travelodge near Waterloo Bridge, our unnamed narrator will encounter that very same Solomon Wiese. In a conversation that lasts until morning, he will hear Solomon Wiese's story of his spectacular fall from grace. A story about a scandal that has shaken the literary world and an accusation of serial plagiarism. A story about childhood encounters with nothingness and a friend's descent into psychosis; about conspiracies and poetry cults; about a love affair with a woman carrying a signpost and the death of an old poet. A story about a retreat to the East Anglian countryside and plans for a triumphant return to the capital, through the theft of poems, illegal war profits and faked social media accounts - plans in which our unnamed narrator discovers he is obscurely implicated... A story that will take the entire night - and the remainder of the novel - to tell.
