Produktinformationen zu „The Impossibly (ePub)“

When a hit man takes a sabbatical to focus on love, his bosses aren't happy in an award-winning debut novel that earns comparison to Paul Auster and Kafka. When the anonymous narrator botches an assignment from the clandestine organization that employs him, everyone in his life becomes a participant in his punishment. In the end, he is called out of retirement for a final assignment: to seek and identify his own assassin. A supple, near-surreal noir thriller that is "innovative, comic, bizarre and beautiful, The Impossibly reads as if Donald Barthelme were channeling Alain Robbe-Grillet, Samuel Beckett, Ben Marcus, and reruns of Get Smart" (Time Out New York). This new edition includes an introduction by Percival Everett, an afterword by the author, and the novella, "Green Metal Door," the first edition's "lost chapter."

Pressezitat

“The mystery runs at all levels . . . and the style and situation have appeal.” —Kirkus Reviews

“[Laird Hunt] captures the tone of Paul Auster’s City of Glass in the first few chapters, and he brings a decidedly Kafkaesque feel to the spy’s early adventures.” —Publishers Weekly

“Hunt is an intellect and a great spinner of claustrophobic noir plots, and his erudite gumshoe yarn owes as much to Georges Perec and Gertrude Stein as it does to Paul Auster.” —The Believer

“While most Kafka comparisons are specious and overstated, Hunt’s subtle humor, sophisticated intelligence and the graceful timbre of his prose place this novel firmly in the tradition of The Castle, as well as Nabokov’s The Eye and Thomas Bernhard’s The Loser. The Impossibly is a marvelous, wonderful novel.” —Review of Contemporary Fiction

“A fractured espionage story, John le Carré à la Borges.” —The Stranger
