What is Satin Island : A Novel about?

Tom McCarthy’s strange and elusive vision of a Kafkaesque world in contemporary London, where a company man begins to think for himself...U is employed as a corporate anthropologist. The company expect him to help decode and manipulate the world around them. But U has other ideas. As he meanders through an endless bombardment of information and images - African traffic jams, roller-blade processions, zombie parades - U begins to wonder. Is there, perhaps, a secret logic holding all this stuff together - a codex that, once cracked, will unlock the master meaning of our age?"Like Strauss’s ideal tribe, Satin Island hovers between the alien and the familiar, packaging experimental literature in a candy coating of easily digestible (and often slyly funny) narrative. Nevertheless, it retains, thanks to the self-referential enigma of its symbols, a certain inexhaustibility, creating a wheel of internal linkages that one might spend a lifetime attempting to unpack." - Marc Mewshaw, The AtlanticTom McCarthy's third novel, C, was shortlisted for the 2010 Booker Prize, the Walter Scott Prize and the European Literature Prize and his fourth, Satin Island, was shortlisted for the Goldsmiths
