What is All Quiet on the Orient Express : A Novel about?

Magnus Mills’s First Novel, The Restraint Of Beasts, Was Hailed By Thomas Pynchon As A “comic Wonder.” His Second Novel, All Quiet On The Orient Express, Is An Equally Edgy Blend Of High-grade Comedy And Low-grade Paranoia. With Insidiously Beguiling Deadpan Charm, Mills Draws Us Again Into The World Of Contract Employment, This Time In England’s Lake District. The Novel’s Narrator, An Itinerant Odd-jobber, Is Camping Out, Waiting For Summer To End So That He Can Set Off For Some Vague Notion Of The East . . . Turkey, Persia, Overland To India. In The Meantime, He Agrees To Do A Small Painting Job For The Owner Of His Campsite. One Job Leads To Another. Before Long, Our Hero Is Hopelessly And Hilariously Enmeshed In The Off-season Mysteries Of The Placid Northern English Community, Grappling With Dark Forces Beyond His Power—some Of Which Hang Out At The Local Pub. To Think It All Began With A Simple Paint Job . . .
