Synopsis

We live in an age when things that would once have seemed miraculous are starting to seem mundane - even if they still, sometimes, bring with them profound implications... In The Weightless World, Anthony Trevelyan - a new, supremely talented voice in fiction - takes us right up to (and beyond) the limits of possibility. He also weaves a story of deep-rooted humanity, jam-packed with unforgettable characters - and, at its core, an account of friendship, love and loss, which will touch your heart.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'The writing is wonderful, Steven's voice exquisite... I wouldn't be surprised to see this book at the very least on shortlists... I know I'll go back and read it again, delight in the story, the characters, the writing it is, I think, that good. It carries a certain sense of how should I say it gravity.' - Van Is Reading

'Engaging, funny and imaginative... The Weightless World is a fine debut, a well-aimed satire that manages to be equally enjoyable and thought-provoking.' Thom Cuell, Workshy Fop

'A brisk comic tragedy, the adventure undertaken by the narrator and his boss Ess leads to a surprising, contemplative and ultimately touching ending.' - Lonesome Reader

'A literary, speculative, to-hell-with-pigeonholes piece of fiction, The Weightless World blends reality with a fantastical premise... Galley Beggar Press is fast becoming a hallmark of great literary taste. Their back catalogue shimmers with glorious finds such as Randall, A Girl Is A Half-formed Thing, The White Goddess and Everlasting Lane. The Weightless World is a stylish addition to the canon.' - J.J. Marsh, Book Muse

'The backdrop of India is beautifully evoked, with its heat, colour, economic contrasts and the duplicity of the multi-national business community... Taut and captivating, this is a fabulous read.' --Jackie Law, Never Imitate
