FROM THE AUTHOR OF TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR, LITTLE

'Strange, moving and musical, it’s a delight' 
A. L. Kennedy

'Profound and delightful. It is a strange and tender parable of two maddening obsessions; parenting and art-making'
Max Porter, author of Lanny
THE SWALLOWED MAN
by Edward Carey

I am writing this account, in another man’s book, by candlelight, inside the belly of a fish. I have been eaten. I have been eaten, yet I am living still.

From the acclaimed author of Little comes this beautiful and haunting imagining of the years Geppetto spends within the belly of a sea beast.

Drawing upon the Pinocchio story while creating something entirely his own, Carey tells an unforgettable tale of fatherly love and loss, pride and regret, and of the sustaining power of art and imagination.
The Swallowed Man is published on November 5. The book can be ordered in hardback or trade paperback directly from our website or your local bookshop, and is also available in eBook.

Eleanor Catton, author of The Luminaries
‘It is Carey’s uniquely inventive style that makes this novel so completely, wickedly, addictive’
The Big Issue

'Edward Carey is one of the strangest writers we are privileged to have in this country’

‘Carey creates an indelible character in Little, sprinkles idiosyncratic drawings throughout and folds his narrative in cunning ways…’
