The Death of an Ordinary Man - Brossura

THE DEATH OF AN ORDINARY MAN by Glen Duncan
'Nathan is a specter at his own funeral: back from the dead he embarks on a quest to discover the cause of his death. The subsequent exploration of the margins of human experience is typical of Duncan, a fearless, merciless and often ruthless writer. Sometimes, the end result is a deliberately noiresque comedy, sometimes a journey into the dark side which imprints unforgettably bleak images. Like all his books, this one takes you on a complex and often uncomfortable trajectory towards a dizzying resolution: Duncan's unsparing brilliance makes it worth the ride'
Metro 13/7
‘Duncan is an appallingly intelligent writer, adept at deploying the most inflexible material while calling it continually into question’
Guardian 16/07
'What is important to Duncan is examining the secrets and problems that families hide even in the worst of circumstances and showing that despite his title, there is no such thing as an 'ordinary' life, family or man'
