Sam Thompson JM Originals €15.65

Sam Thompson’s second novel is a strange piece about two young Irish friends living in London in the Thirties. Arthur is a psychiatrist, Louis a writer with psychiatric problems writing a novel about… a psychiatrist! A lot of readers will despair of the characters, particularly when the two friends go on long walks together in total silence. But those who stay the course will be rewarded with a shrewd portrait of a particular kind of male friendship, simultaneously intense and incomplete.
