Deborah Levy's surreal and disturbing first novel, Beautiful Mutants, introduces Lapinski, a manipulative and magical Rusian exile who summons forth a number of highly contemporary urban pilgrims. Through them, Levy explores broken dreams and self-destructive desires in a shimmering and dislocated allegory of our time.

Deborah Levy was born in 1969, studied theatre at Dartington College of Arts, and now lives in London. Her plays include Pax, which City Limits considered 'remarkable for its combination of intellectual rigour, poetic fantasy and visual imagination' and Heresies for the Royal Shakespeare Company, 'An ambitious, imaginative, sometimes funny, sometimes touching, passage across a terrain where moral parables and folk fancies meet' (Marina Warner, Independent). She has also published a collection of short stories, Ophelia and the Great Idea, and a novel, Beautiful Mutants, and, most recently, Swallowing Geography, all of which are published by Vintage.
This novel, the first from Deborah Levy, who has previously published poetry and prose in several anthologies, explores the themes of exile and emigration as forms of emotional displacement. It confronts the anxieties pervading England in the 1980s.
