Sinossi
Traumatised by an accident which involves something falling from the skyA" and leaves him eight and a half million pounds rich- er but hopelessly estranged from the world around him, Remainder's hero spends his time and money obsessively reconstructing and re-enacting vaguely remembered scenes and situations from his past: a large building with piano music in the distance, the familiar smells and sounds of liver frying and spluttering, lethargic cats lounging on roofs until they tumble off them...But when this fails to quench his thirst for authenticity, he starts reconstructing more and more violent events, as his repetition addiction spirals out of control.

Recensione
'The storyline mesmerises in its imaginative brilliance.' -- The Sunday Telegraph
'Its minatory brilliance calls for classic status' -- The Independent
'This isn t how we expect a novel to be, but it s why it s a very good novel indeed.' -- London Review of Books
'McCarthy delivers his wacky tale, an enquiry into authenticity and experience, with persuasive logic and a nice line in absurdist humour.' -- Literary Review

'a refreshingly idiosyncratic, enjoyably intelligent read.' --The Guardian
'Remainder is an intelligent and absurd satire on consumer culture.' --The Times
