You know, love is love, he says. But what about the revolution?
Intricately built and wickedly humorous, this is a novel in five parts, all about one thing: money.
From an interview with a child star turned thief to the mysterious death of an employee at a drug manufacturer - or the couple feigning married bliss to keep their inheritance, Small Comfort carefully unravels the value we place on both money and people.
What does it really mean to be in debt to someone? How does our financial worth permeate the ways we think and feel? And what do we lose when we supposedly win? Small Comfort skewers its characters, slyly implicating the reader along the way.
A brilliantly original and thought-provoking novel from the author and translator of The Details, shortlisted for the 2023 International Booker Prize.
