Written as a novel within a novel, Emil Brut is a hugely entertaining book that explores the intellectual landscape of Europe; additionally it is an extended conversation about the aspects of life - that is, cultural, morals and the nature of love. Emit Brut is a challenging, funny and smart novel, full of hip wit and wisdom and steeped in originality. It remains testament to the remarkable places fiction can take us."--Editor's description. |
