Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2018, Winner of the Goldsmiths Prize 2018, Winner of The Roehampton Poetry Prize 2018, Winner of the 2019 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, and described as a "beautiful, vigorous, and achingly melancholy hymn to the common man that is as unexpected as it is daring" by John Banville in the Guardian, Robin Robertson's The Long Take is a remarkable and unclassifiable book of recent years. Set against the backdrop of a crucial period in American history, the novel follows D-Day veteran Walker as he seeks freedom, anonymity, and repair in the city, moving from New York to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and beyond. As he navigates the fractured landscape of post-war America, Walker witnesses the country's descent into paranoia, doubt, social and racial division, corruption, and the collapse of the inner cities.
At the same time, Walker is grappling with his own personal demons, including post-traumatic stress disorder and a haunting past. Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles he faces, Walker is determined to find kindness again, both in the world and in himself. The Long Take is a work of thrilling originality, blending the intensity of poetry with the noir narrative style to create a profound and unforgettable portrait of a man searching for meaning in a chaotic world.
