A concert pianist on the London scene, his career is upended when the train he is travelling on crashes into the wall at the end of a tunnel. The accident splinters his left wrist, jeopardizing his musical ambitions. On a whim, he uses his compensation pay-out to buy a house he has seen only once in a newspaper photograph, a replica of Le Corbusiers Villa Savoye on a stretch of coast outside Cape Town. Together with his wife, Mim, Mr. Field sets out in the hope that the house will make him happier, or at least less unhappy.But as time passes, the housewhich Le Corbusier designed as "a machine for living"begins to have a disturbing effect on Mr. Field. Its narrow windows educate him in the pleasures of frustrated desire. Its sequence of spaces, which seem to lead toward and away from their destinations at once, mirror his sense of being increasingly cut off from the world and from other people. When his wife inexplicably leaves him, Mr. Field can barely summon the will to search for her. Alone in the decaying house, he finds himself unglued from reality and possessed by a longing for a perverse kind of intimacy.OK, Mr. Field is a strange and beguiling novel that dwells in the silences between words, in the gaps in conversation, and in the unbridgeable distance between any two people. Through her restless intelligence and precise, musical prose, Katharine Kilalea confidently guides us into new fictional territory....3176458OK, Mr. Field193235https://www.gandhi.com.mx/ok-mr--field-9780525573654/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2336115/34c978a4-8db8-4a6c-9302-b1a77248b175.jpg?v=638383836907600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189780525573654_W3siaWQiOiI2YjZkNzUzOS1hOTFjLTRlZmQtOWNiYy1kY2I1Mjg2YTBiNmYiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIzMywiZGlzY291bnQiOjQyLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE5MSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDVUMDY6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780525573654_A mesmerizing debut novel about a concert pianist who fears he is losing his mindMr. Field wants a new life, a life cleansed of the old ones disappointments.
