The artist Jed Martin returns after ten years of absence with good news. It is not related to his broken boiler, the arrival of another awkward Christmas with his father, or the memory of his doomed love affair with the beautiful Olga. The good news is that for his new exhibition, he has secured the participation of the renowned Nobel Prize-winning author Michel Houellebecq. The exhibition brings Jed to new levels of global fame. However, his boiler remains broken, his sick father is at risk of aphasia, and, worst of all, an inspector contacts him seeking his help in solving an unspeakably horrific crime, in which the renowned author Michel Houellebecq is also involved... Nominated for the 2013 Dublin IMPAC Literary Award. Pages: 304, Dimensions: 13x13cm
