Items related to Europa
A brilliantly comic, dark and dyspeptic novel about an obsessive love gone sour. Jealousy and revenge, passion and dread intertwine in one man's soul as he's trapped in the awful claustrophobia of a three-day coach journey across Europe with a group of people he loathes - and the woman who broke his heart. Written with extraordinary stylistic and emotional intensity and an hilarious sense of the absurd, this story of inescapably enchanted disenchantment is Tim Parks' finest novel to date.

Review:
"Europa is a full and rounded and very disturbing novel...guaranteed to intrigue and, more often than not, have you squirming and wincing." (The Times)
"Sheer enjoyment... Doffing his hat to Joyce and Beckett, Parks really hits his stride" (Mail on Sunday)
"The best thing about Europa is the voice Tim Parks conjures up: Marlow's wry, defeated reason keeps you turning the pages... A forlorn but seductive voice, reminding us that it is far easier to unite a sprawling continent than the few cubic metres that contain a human soul" (Sunday Times)
"The triumph of the work is its discomforting portrayal of an agile mind hampered by the twin shackles of longing and disgust... Europa is that rare beast, a book which demands and withstands a second reading" (Daily Telegraph)

*Lead title for Secker/Minerva, and a Booker entry. *Stunning package launches Tim's new fiction in trade paperback. *Features another of Tim Parks' wonderfully twisted and aggrieved anti-heroes - like Maurice in CARA MASSIMINA and MINI'S GHOST. *Publication coincides with paperback of ITALIAN NEIGHBOURS. *The finest novel to date by one of our most highly praised award-winning writers.
