Beschreibung

<b>Franz Kafka meets Yorgos Lanthimos in this provocative novel from one of America’s most brilliant and distinctive writers—"a dreamlike exploration of human nature, seen through a speculative lens" (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>)</b><br><br>In a speculative future, Abel, a menial worker, is called to serve in a secretive and fabled jury system. At the heart of this system is the repeat room, where a single juror, selected from hundreds of candidates, is able to inhabit the defendant’s lived experience, to see as if through their eyes.<br><br>The case to which Abel is assigned is revealed in the novel’s shocking second act. We receive a record of a boy's broken and constrained life, a tale that reveals an illicit and passionate psycho-sexual relationship, its end as tragic as the circumstances of its conception.<br><br>Artful in its suspense, and sharp in its evocation of a byzantine and cruel bureaucracy, <i>The Repeat Room</i> is an exciting and pointed critique of the nature of knowledge and judgment, and a vivid framing of Ball's absurd and nihilistic philosophy of love.
