FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER NOMINATED AUTHOR OF EUROTRASH

'Playfully surreal ... Kracht has taken a a familiar premise and made it suggestively strange' GUARDIAN

'Sublime and funny ... deserves to be his breakout book in the Anglophone world' TELEGRAPH, 5-STAR REVIEW

'A master of the well-formed sentence' DANIEL KEHLMANN

Two men venture through strange landscapes towards unknowable destinations. Paul, a feted designer, wanders the echoing corridors of a server farm in Norway - before, in a sudden blackout, he seems to vanish. In another time and space, a wounded stranger wakes in a forest, watched over by a young girl who helps him flee to an icebound settlement where perhaps he will find safety.

Inventive, enigmatic and chromatically resonant, Air is the seductively disorienting new novel from one of the most significant European writers working today. Heir to the ingenious fictions of Ursula K. Le Guin or Jorge Luis Borges, resistant to single interpretation, it unfolds as a haunting journey through a layered universe that may be a dream, the afterlife or reality's inverted twin.

'Air is as enigmatic as its title' TLS

'Christian Kracht is the great German-language writer of his generation' JOSHUA COHEN

'Read him for the experience of reading him. Read him and wonder' NELL ZINK

Translated from German by Daniel Bowles
