Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A beautifully modulated novel that shows Edward St. Aubyn at his sparkling best</b> <p/>Charlie Fairburn, successful screenwriter, ex-husband, and absent father, has been given six months to live. He resolves to stake half his fortune on a couple of turns of the roulette wheel and, to his agent's disgust, to write a novel-about death. In the casino he meets his muse. Charlie grows as addicted to writing fiction as she is to gambling. <p/>His novel is set on a train and involves a group of characters (familiar to readers of St. Aubyn's earlier work) who are locked in a debate about the nature of consciousness. As this train gets stuck at Didcot, and Charlie gets more passionately entangled with the dangerous Angelique, <i>A Clue to the Exit</i> comes to its startling climax. Exquisitely crafted, witty, and thoughtful, Edward St. Aubyn's dazzling novel probes the very heart of being.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"St. Aubyn delivers memorable characters, dark humor, and sublime writing in this stand-alone effort." --<i>Library Journal</i> <p/>"One of the great comic writers of our time." --<i>The New York Times Review of Books</i> <p/>"Perhaps the most brilliant English novelist of his generation." --<i>Alan Hollinghurst</i> <p/>"One of the preeminent writers of his generation." --<i>Will Self</i> <p/>"One of the great prose stylists in England" --<i>Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones</i> <p/>"St. Aubyn is utterly fearless." --<i>Lev Grossman, Time</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>EDWARD ST.
