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

Praise for Edward Carey
'Edward Carey writes wonderfully weird books about wonderfully
weird things'
Celeste Ng,
author of Little Fires Everywhere
‘Delightful, eccentric, heartfelt, surprising, philosophical’
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’
The
Observer
‘Carey creates an indelible character in Little, sprinkles
idiosyncratic drawings throughout and folds his narrative in
cunning ways…’
BBC

THE READERS' ROOM REVIEWED
IN THE HERALD
'Laurain has spun a fantastically intricate web
here, where the smallest detail could be significant, and, no
matter how sure you are that you’ve grasped it, he is one step
ahead. Joyously far-fetched and metafictional, it’s sharp, funny
and, at 170 pages, declines to outstay its welcome.'

ANTOINE LAURAIN IN CRIME TIME OCTOBER ROUND-UP
'A brief blackly comic masterpiece. An
intelligent and well crafted, mildly deviant, mystery with a sense
of the poetic about it. An observation on life’s rich tapestry;
absurd, witty, truthful and engaging.'

BOOKANISTA
INTERVIEWS ANTOINE LAURAIN
'I think that fiction is a particularly unique
material to handle. It’s an illusion of life, nothing of it really
exists, the characters don’t exist… and yet I’ve often had the
feeling afterwards that some of my books contained a little piece
of the future.'
