The Coma

The Coma

The acclaimed author of <i>The Beach</i> returns with a mesmerizing and highly original work of intrigue. <br><br> Proclaimed "a gifted storyteller" by <i>The New Yorker</i> and "a huge literary talent" by Kazuo Ishiguro, Alex Garland, the internationally bestselling author of <i>The Beach</i>, <i>The Tesseract</i>, and writer of the critically acclaimed film <i>28 Days Later</i>, returns with yet another gripping page-turner that blurs the edges of reality and probes the boundaries of consciousness. A man is attacked on the Underground and awakens to find himself in a hospital, apparently having emerged from a coma. Or has he? Garland's brilliant tale is illustrated with forty haunting woodblock print illustrations by his father, Nicholas Garland, a well-known political cartoonist for the <i>Daily Telegraph</i> (UK) and noted artist.
