Includes List of Other Books by Edward St. Aubyn; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments and About the Author. "Perhaps the most brilliant English novelist of his generation." - Alan Hollinghurst, Man Booker Prize winning author. "Nothing about the plots can prepare you for the rich, acerbic comedy of St. Aubyn's world - or more surprising - its philosophical density." - Zadie Smith, Harper's Magazine. "St. Aubyn conveys the chaos of emotion, the confusion of heightened sensation, and the daunting contradictions of intellectual endeavor with a force and subtlety that have an exhilarating, almost therapeutic effect." - Francis Wyndham, New York Review of Books. "Henry Dunbar, the once all-powerful head of a global media corporation, is not having a good day. In his dotage he handed over care of the corporation to his two eldest daughters, Abby and Megan. But relations quickly soured, leaving him to doubt the wisdom of past decisions. Now imprisoned in a care home in rural England, with only a demented alcoholic comedian as company, Dunbar starts planning his escape. As he flees into the hills, his family is hot on his heels, But who will find him first, his beloved youngest daughter, Florence, or the tigresses Abby and Megan, so keen to divest him of his estate? Edward St. Aubyn is renowned for his masterwork, the five Melrose novels, which dissect with savage and beautiful precision the agonies of family life. His take on King Lear, Shakespeare's most devastating family story, is an excoriating novel for and of our times - an examination of power, money, and the value of forgiveness." - from the inner front jacket flap. "William Shakespeare's KING LEAR, retold as Dunbar." - from the rear outer jacket. Brand, Christopher (jacket design); Allen, Timothy (author photograph) (illustratore).…
