Asymmetry
Edité par Simon & Schuster - paru en 2018
In ?Asymmetry,? two seemingly unrelated sections are connected by a shocking coda. The first, ?Folly,? is the story of a love affair. It narrates the relationship between Alice, a book editor and aspiring writer in her mid-20s, and Ezra Blazer, a brilliant, geriatric novelist who is partly modeled on Philip Roth. The second section ? ?Madness? ? belongs to Amar Jaafari, an Iraqi-American economist who is being detained at Heathrow. Halliday?s prose is clean and lean, almost reportorial in the style of W.G. Sebald. This is a first novel that reads like the work of an author who has published many books over many years, and it manages to be, all at once, a transgressive roman à clef, a novel of ideas and a politically engaged work of metafiction.
