Peter Sinclair goes to the country cottage of a friend to work on his autobiography. He intends simply to recount the story of his life, but the task soon develops into an act of imaginative reconstruction and he begins to drift between the shadowy worlds of memory and imagination.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Peter Sinclair is tormented by bereavement and failure. In an attempt to conjure some meaning from his life, he embarks on an autobiography, but he finds himself writing the story of another man in another, imagined, world, whose insidious attraction draws him even further in . . .
THE AFFIRMATION is at once an original thriller and a haunting study of schizophrenia; it has a compulsive, dream-like quality.

Revue de presse

"With formidable imagination and ingenuity, Christopher Priest turns the novel into an Escher tessellation in which figure and ground are interchangeable. Bringing home to the power of narrative to steal reality, affirming nothing, it abandons us mid sentence, posed between page and world, discomfited and hyper-aware." (Sam Thompson TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT)
