The Finkler Question

Publisher synopsis: This title is the winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2010 and the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize. "The Finkler Question" is a scorching story of friendship and loss and of the wisdom and humanity of maturity. Funny, furious, unflinching, this extraordinary novel shows one of our finest writers at his brilliant best. Julian Treslove and Sam Finkler are old school friends. Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never quite lost touch with each other - or with their former teacher, Libor Sevick. Now all three are recently widowed, in their own way, and spend sweetly painful evenings together reminiscing. Until an unexpected violent attack brings everything they thought they knew into question. This recording is unabridged.
