Synopsis
Nicholas Slopen has been dead for months. So when a man claiming to be Nicholas turns up to visit an old girlfriend, deception seems the only possible motive. Yet nothing can make him change his story. From the secure unit of a notorious psychiatric hospital, he begins to tell his tale: an account of attempted forgery that draws the reader towards an extraordinary truth - a metaphysical conspiracy that lies on the other side of madness and death. "Strange Bodies" takes the reader on a dizzying speculative journey that poses questions about identity, authenticity, and what it means to be truly human.

Revue de presse
What is on the menu is superior science fiction ... the novel exercises a grim fascination. (Mail on Sunday )
Brilliantly imagined ... You'll be left with much to ponder by Theroux's intellectually engaging imagination. (Metro )
A bold and wonderfully weird novel by Marcel Theroux, which reads like an intelligent, witty flirtation between serious literature and science fiction ... The perfect literary thriller for the internet age ... Theroux weaves a taut, edge-of-your-seat tale which asks whether one way or another we can live on after death. Couldn't put it down. (Red ) --Red
'An absorbing and disturbing metaphysicall tale, challenging everything we believe about what it means to be human.' --John Gray
