A Clue to the Exit: A Novel | Edward St. Aubyn

1 post | 1 read | 4 to read

A beautifully modulated novel that shows Edward St. Aubyn at his sparkling best Charlie Fairburn, successful screenwriter, ex-husband, and absent father, has been given six months to live. He resolves to stake half his fortune on a couple of turns of the roulette wheel and, to his agent's disgust, to write a novel-about death. In the casino he meets his muse. Charlie grows as addicted to writing fiction as she is to gambling. His novel is set on a train and involves a group of characters (familiar to readers of St. Aubyn's earlier work) who are locked in a debate about the nature of consciousness. As this train gets stuck at Didcot, and Charlie gets more passionately entangled with the dangerous Angelique, A Clue to the Exit comes to its startling climax. Exquisitely crafted, witty, and thoughtful, Edward St. Aubyn's dazzling novel probes the very heart of being.

A Clue to the Exit: A Novel | Edward St. Aubyn

I‘m not quite sure why I thought this would be a serious book. Maybe because the main character is given only six months to live. Maybe because I thought of St Aubyn as a serious writer. As in serious, stern, frowning. How did I get that impression I have no clue. But maybe that was why I‘ve not picked up his books until today. It is witty and delightful despite the impending death that hangs over.
