Produktinformationen zu „The Sound of My Voice (ePub)“

'Playful, haunting and moving, this is writing of the highest quality . . . One of the most inventive and daring novels ever to have come out of Scotland' - Ian Rankin

'One of the classic post-war Scottish novels. It's simply a roaring success on all levels; it's a genius piece of fiction' - Irvine Welsh

'A profound and beautifully written study of human fragility in the face of the brutalism of modern life' - James Robertson

'One of the best books I have ever read' - Philipa Coughlin, Nudge Books

'Deserves to be talked about in the same breath as Saul Bellow's Seize the Day' - Metro

Morris Magellan is thirty-four years old and already two-thirds destroyed. By day he is an executive, after six and at weekends the husband of an understanding wife and the father of two. At all times he is a music lover and a drunk.

Of the past he remembers only fear, and of the future he senses even greater terror to come; he is a man struggling from moment to moment to salvage something of himself before that too slips from his grasp.

On one level The Sound of My Voice tells the story of an alcoholic: a frantic attempt by some inner voice to halt an apparent need for selfdestruction. More generally it presents the conflict between modern man's cowardice and cruelty, and a desperate attempt to recover humanity.
