Remainder

English

By (author): Tom McCarthy

NOW A CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FILM Traumatized by an accident which involved something falling from the sky and leaves him eight and a half million pounds richer but hopelessly estranged from the world around him, Remainders hero spends his time and money obsessively reconstructing and re-enacting vaguely remembered scenes and situations from his past: a large building with piano music in the distance, the familiar smells and sounds of liver frying and spluttering, lethargic cats lounging on roofs until they tumble off them... But when this fails to quench his thirst for authenticity, he starts re-enacting more and more violent events, as his repetition addiction spirals out of control. A darkly comic meditation on memory, identity and history, Remainder is a parable for modern times. See more
