From the revered Booker Prize-winning author comes a playful, multi-layered story of nostalgia, life and death, and quantum theory, which opens with the return of one of his most celebrated characters as he is released from prison.
Felix Mordaunt, recently released from prison, steps from a flashy red sports car onto the estate of his youth. But there is a new family living in the drafty old house: descendants of the late, world-famous scientist Adam Godley.
Felix must now vie with the idiosyncratic Godley family, with their harried housekeeper who becomes his landlady, with the recently commissioned biographer of Godley Sr, and with a wealthy and beautiful woman from his past who comes bearing an unusual request …
With sparkling intelligence and rapier wit, John Banville revisits some of his career’s most memorable figures, in a novel as mischievous as it is brilliantly conceived. The Singularities occupies a singular space and will surely be one of his most admired works.
'The Singularities proves that [Banville] deserves a summons from Stockholm ... Time and again Banville stuns with sentences so dazzling they're like a lightning-quick boxer's jab.'
The Boston Globe
'The Singularities is Banville at his most inventive ... His verbal dexterity and poetic flourishes keep us absorbed throughout.'
Minneapolis Star Tribune
'Gorgeously written and superbly choreographed.'
Irish Independent
