Praise for C:

'C inserts itself, slyly yet confidently, into the history of modernism. This is a genuinely exciting and spookily beautiful book, a new kind of joy.'
Neel Mukherjee, The Times

'McCarthy is fast revealing himself as a master craftsman who is steering the contemporary novel towards exciting territories.'
Observer

'An intelligent, ambitious book... A beautiful, accessible novel with a thrilling tale. This is one of the most brilliant books to have hit the shelves this year and McCarthy deserves high praise for an electric piece of writing which should be enjoyed as well as discussed.'

McCarthy is the most celebrated of a new breed of English novelist questioning and attempting to reinvent the form for today's readers. His novel Remainder was crediting with defining a new path for the novel by Zadie Smith, who described it as 'one of the great English novels of the past ten years'.

A book for our ages: a rare and ambitious novel in that it attempts to articulate the contemporary - both its political and corporate global landscape and the individual's condition.

Returns to the register, contemporary setting and concerns of Remainder, which remains the book he is best recognised for. (The Film Four production of that novel will be released 2015.)

Author's bold views and the international significance, not to mention invention and quality, of this work should guarantee enormous coverage.
