_______________ 'McInerney is one of the most gifted writers of his
generation ... whatever he does makes fascinating reading' - Observer
'Ransom is cleverly written, intelligent, lively, concise and
humorous. And it gives the reader that final buzz - it's serious' -
Guardian 'Witty, acerbic and buoyed by observational gifts,
McInerney's writing is never less than deft' - Financial Times
______________ From the bestselling author of Story of My Life,
Brightness Falls and How It Ended comes Jay McInerney's novel of exile
... Living in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, Christopher Ransom
seeks a purity and simplicity he could not find at home, and tries to
exorcise the terror he encountered earlier in his travels - a blur of
violence and death at the Khyber Pass. Supporting himself by teaching
English to eager Japanese businessmen, Ransom feels safe amongst his
fellow expatriates. But soon he is threatened by everything he thought
he had left behind, in a sequence of bizarre events whose consequences
he cannot escape ... ______________ 'McInerney has a sure hand with
narrative, a sharp but forgiving eye for human frailty and a
considerable gift for deadpan comedy that kids the things he loves ...
a superb and humane social critic' - Newsweek
