Pincher Martin Introduced by Marlon James

<p><b>Experience a shipwrecked sailor's disintegration into 'a naked madman on a rock' by the radical Nobel Laureate and author of <i>Lord of the Flies</i>, introduced by Marlon James.</b><br> <i><b><br> An hour on this rock is a lifetime.</b></i><br> <br> Glistening limpets. Lobster claws. Wild tangles of seaweed. Slowly, his eyes open. Everywhere, there is sea. Only this jagged peak interrupts the vast expanse of the Atlantic: a tooth in a gaping jaw. But he will survive. Rainwater can be drunk; anemones eaten. He dries his oilskin beneath the screaming gulls, and discovers his papers: Christopher Hadley Martin, TY. Lieut., R.N.V.R. Weathering lightning strikes of memory, he must now reconstruct his fate - piece by terrible piece.<br> <br> <b>'Wizardry of the first order.'</b> Observer<br> <b><br> 'Terrifying ... Magnificently original.'</b> Sylvia Plath<br> <br> <b>'Devastating ... Violently real ... The unique kind of novel that compels you to reread it.'</b> Marlon James<br> <br> <b>'An amazing tour de force ... A blow-by-blow struggle for survival.</b>' Stephen Spender<br> <br> <b>'Immense ... To read it is to undergo a shattering and memorable experience.'</b> Kingsley Amis<br> <br> <b>'A master fabulist ... An iconoclast.'</b> John Fowles</p>
