Description
About the Book
Swift's Waterland established him as a major force in contemporary fiction--an "irrepressible, wide-ranging talent" (The Washington Post Book World). Out Of This World, his eagerly awaited new novel, confirms his status as a world-class novelist.Book Synopsis
Out of This World interweaves the history of a blighted family with the tragic and ludicrous history of the twentieth century. Its alternating narrators are a father and daughter--each obsessed with the other and irrevocably estranged--surveying their losses and grievances on opposite sides of the Atlantic. "A moving, ingenious and often very funny tale that takes us deep into his characters' wounded, resilient hearts with breathtaking virtuosity...rich, complicated, joyful, arresting."--USA TodayAbout the Author

His work has been translated into more than 30 languages.Dimensions (Overall): 8.01 Inches (H) x 5.24 Inches (W) x .68 Inches (D)
