A Man Lies Dreaming Lavie Tidhar 9781801100632 Affare

‘A twisted masterpiece’ Guardian 1939. In a grotty corner of London, in a flat above a shop, a private eye known as Wolf keeps his office. The city is in the throes of a very British Fascism, and Wolf is far from the life he left behind in Germany, before the Fall. Business hasn’t been good, so when a glamorous Jewish heiress comes through his door, he has no choice but to take on her case. It’s a decision Wolf will soon regret. For in another time and place, a man lies dreaming. Once a Yiddish pulp writer, but now imprisoned in a hell of humanity’s making, Shomer creates lurid tales of revenge in his sleep… Prescient, darkly funny and wholly original, the award-winning A Man Lies Dreaming is a modern fable for our time.
Winner of the Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize, A Man Lies Dreaming is a twisted masterpiece from a writer at the top of his game. Adolf Hitler is transported to London, 1939, where he makes a feeble living as a private eye, while in another time and place, a man lies dreaming…
