The extraordinary new novel from David Flusfeder. 'John the Pupil' is a medieval road movie, Umberto Eco seen through the eyes of Quentin Tarrantino, recounting the journey taken from Oxford to Viterbo in 1267 by John and his two companions, at the behest of the friar and magus Roger Bacon, carrying a secret burden to His Holiness Clement IV. As well as having to fight off ambushes from thieves hungry for the thing of power they are carrying, the holy trio are tried and tempted by all sorts of sins: ambition, pride, lust - and by the sheer hell and heaven of medieval life.
Erudite and earthy, horrifying, comic, humane, David Flusfeder's extraordinary novel reveals to the reader a world very different and all too like the one we live in now.
David Flusfeder is an author who was born in the United States in 1960 but currently lives in London with his wife and two children. His novels are most recently, ‘A Film by Spencer Ludwig’ (2010) ‘The Pagan House’ (2007), ‘The Gift’ (2003), ‘Morocco’ (2000) and ‘Like Plastic’ (1996), which won the Encore Award. ‘Man Kills Woman’ (1993) was Flusfeder's first book. In 2011, Flusfeder became chairman of the Rules Committee of the International Federation of Poker (IFP), from which he resigned in 2013.
