As If

<p><b>‘Dazzlingly clever, formally inventive and deeply moving’ </b><i><b>Times Literary Supplement</b></i></p><p>Two men meet in a flat in London. They are total strangers and yet they look remarkably alike. Lewis is grieving his dead wife; Korine is hiding from his very-much-alive one. Lewis never had children; Korine might have been better not having any. Lewis is a moderately successful, second-rate actor. Korine has tried a dozen dead-end jobs but never pursued his acting dreams.</p><p>Two men living mirror image lives. Each seeking a second chance to get things right. Each wanting what the other has.</p><p><i>As If</i> is an existential farce about the road not taken. Surreal and slyly poignant, it is a parable for the twenty-first century everyman: a hero trapped in reality’s hall of mirrors, endlessly searching for something to live for.</p><p><b>‘One of Britain's most exciting writers’ <i>New Statesman</i></b></p><p><b>‘A daring doppelganger puzzle’ <i>Observer</i></b></p><p><b>‘A triumph of narrative voice’ <i>Spectator</i></b></p>
