Delicate and detailed, this novel is a project to which Damon Galgut, whose fiction has often covered the terrain of love, race, and politics, seems perfectly suited as a writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this literary tour de force, twice Booker shortlisted novelist Damon Galgut evokes the life and work of E. M. Forster, his travels to India, and the freedom and inspiration he found there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1912, the SS Birmingham approaches India. On board is Morgan Forster, novelist and man of letters, who is embarking on a journey of discovery. As Morgan stands on deck, the promise of a strange new future begins to take shape before his eyes. The seeds of a story start to gather at the corner of his mind: a sense of impending menace, lust in close confines, under a hot, empty sky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt will be another twelve years, and a second time spent in India, before A Passage to India, E. M. Forster's great work of literature, is published. During these years, Morgan will come to a profound understanding of himself as a man, and of the infinite subtleties and complexity of human nature, bringing these great insights to bear in his remarkable novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt once a fictional exploration of the life and times of one of Britain's finest novelists, his struggle to find a way of living and being, and a stunningly vivid evocation of the mysterious alchemy of the creative process, Arctic Summer is a literary masterpiece, by one of the finest writers of his generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 322g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 128 x 198 x 30 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781838958855\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Main\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Damon Galgut","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44093704077562,"sku":"9781838958855","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1660949871242_book.jpg?v=1661359246","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/arctic-summer-author-of-the-2021-booker-prizewinning-novel-the-promise-9781838958855","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
