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, of pride and regret, and of the sustaining power of art and imagination.

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

'A marvellous feat of storytelling that dives deep into the madness accompanying solitude and creativity' Daily Mail

'Haunting. Geppetto’s voice, full of wistful overemphases and bewildered revelation, is absorbing as he takes in the oddity of his situation. And the book, sentence by sentence, offers much in which to luxuriate' Sunday Times

'Strange and lovely'  Rhik Samadder

'A thing of physical beauty… The Swallowed Man can be read as an extended metaphor about the power of art. Or perhaps it’s just a strange and hypnotic story about a man stuck inside a fish' The Times

'Surprises and delights, and saddens and gladdens, from start to finish' The Big Issue

'Just as he did with Little, Edward Carey has taken a real story – here Pinocchio – sprinkled it with magic dust and made it his very own. A haunting and moving tale, told from the belly of a whale' Anna Mazzola

'A beautiful and dark meditation on fatherhood, mercy, redemption and the alchemy of isolation. Strange, moving and musical, it’s a delight'  A. L. Kennedy
