Darkmans - Barker Nicola
Shortlisted for the 2007 Man Booker Prize, an epic novel of startling originality which confirms Nicola Barker as one of Britain's most exciting literary talents. Could it be John Scogin, Edward IV's jester, whose favourite skit was to burn people alive? If history is a sick joke which keeps on repeating, then who keeps on telling it?
Or could it be a Kurd called Gaffar whose days are blighted by an unspeakable terror of salad? Or could it be Andrew Boarde, physician to Henry VIII, who wrote John Scogin's biography? Or a beautiful bulimic with brittle bones?
Or a man who guards Beckley Woods with a Samurai sword and a pregnant terrier? Darkmans is a very modern book, set in ridiculously modern Ashford, about two old-fashioned subjects: love and jealousy. And the main character?
The past, creeping up on the present and whispering something quite dark into its ear. Darkmans is the third of Nicola Barker's visionary Thames Gateway novels. Following Wide Open (winner Dublin IMPAC award 2000) and Behindlings it confirms one of Britain's most original literary talents.
