A Field Guide to Reality | Joanna Kavenna
4 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
'Extraordinary, wise, funny, adventurous' A. L. Kennedy 'So utterly startling and inventive, it's almost an act of resistance' Miriam Toews 'I couldn't put it down. A cult following seems certain' Literary Review 'Refreshing as well as disconcerting to read a novel that sets aside convention so resolutely' Guardian 'Opts to push the boundaries of what the novel is' Telegraph 'A comic metaphysical thriller' Scotland on Sunday In this darkly ironic novel - a quest for truth, a satire, an elegy - Joanna Kavenna displays fearless originality and wit in confronting the strangeness of reality and how we contend with the death of those we love. Beautiful, ethereal drawings by Oly Ralfe illustrate this haunting journey through time, space and human understanding.

This wonderfully quirky novel is set in an Oxford perpetually shrouded in #Fog.

This atmospheric book makes the city of Oxford almost another character in the book, and most of the action takes place on one or other #DarkNight

I was right. Last week was as stressful as the week before and ended with a heavy cold. No reading done. I watched a lot of West Wing though. This week is calmer if slightly snuffley. This book is making me feel better
