A Lonely Man

The first novel by the acclaimed author of Mothers - a deft, delicate inquisition of identity and ambition, and a daring act of fiction.

' A Lonely Man is a remarkable debut; an accomplished and intricately plotted story that manages to be both thrilling and deeply considered. If you're a fan of existential crises, family dramas, Putin-era paranoias, and Bolaño-style multiplicities, and want to see them woven into one taut novel, you're in the right place. A lonely triumph.' - Jon McGregor

'A classy page-turner... Unbearably tense, the intricate narrative delivers electric drama as well as thought-provoking reflections on storytelling ethics.' - Mail on Sunday

Chris Power is the author of Mothers , which was longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize and shortlisted for the Edge Hill Short Story Prize. He lives in London.
