From the revered Booker Prize-winning author comes a playful multilayered novel of nostalgia life and death and quantum theory which opens with the return of one of his most celebrated characters as he is released from prison.A triumphant piece of writing…Prose of such luscious elegance…Exhilarating.” —The New York Times Book Review A man with a borrowed name steps from a flashy red sports car—also borrowed—onto the estate of his youth. But all is not as it seems. There is a new family living in the drafty old house: the Godleys descendants of the late world-famous scientist Adam Godley whose theory of existence threw the universe into chaos. And this mystery man who has just completed a prison sentence feels as if time has stopped or was torn or was opened in new and strange ways. He must now vie with the idiosyncratic Godley family with their harried housekeeper who becomes his landlady with the recently commissioned biographer of Godley Sr. and with a wealthy and beautiful woman from his past who comes bearing an unusual request. With sparkling intelligence and rapier wit John Banville revisits some of his career’s most memorable figures in a novel as mischievous as it is brilliantly conceived. The Singularities occupies a singular space and will surely be one of his most admired works.
