Tell

Jonathan Buckley'sTellis a probing, exuberant and complex examination of the ways in which we make stories of our lives and of other people's. Structured as a series of interview transcripts with a woman who worked as a gardener for a wealthy businessman and art collector who has disappeared, and may or may not have committed suicide, it is a thrilling novel of strange, intoxicating immediacy.

Calling his work "captivating," John Banville has asked: "Why isn't Jonathan Buckley better known?"
