The Executor Zusammenfassung

The Executor Blake Morrison

'Exquisitely metered, intimate and yet profound, glimmeringly intelligent...A worthwhile, interesting and impressive achievement' Edward Docx, Guardian

What matters most: fidelity or art? Marriage or friendship? The wishes of the living or the talents of the dead?

Literary executor Matt Holmes finds himself considering these questions sooner than he thinks when his friend, the poet Robert Pope, dies unexpectedly. A trail of clues Rob has left within his archives leads Matt to a series of shocking discoveries that begins to unsettle everything he thought he knew about his friend. Should Matt conceal what he has found or share it? After all, it's not just Rob's reputation that could be transformed forever...

The Executor Bewertungen

A novel of multi-level brilliance, which offers a smart, funny mystery built around ethical concerns over privacy and biography, while casting a beady eye on workplace politics and male midlife crises -- Anthony Cummins * Daily Mail *
Adept, attentive and occasionally beautiful ... When the poetry starts to break through, the book comes alive - reverberatingly, ravishingly so. Everything is illuminated... enter the revivifying excitements of adultery, incest, euthanasia; sex and lust and love; dreams, mortality and death... exquisitely metered, intimate and yet profound, glimmeringly intelligent, slyly sensual ... A worthwhile, interesting and impressive achievement -- Edward Docx * The Guardian *
Generously and skilfully written ... The unravelling of the novel's moral perplexity is both ingenious and persuasive... A pleasing and very satisfying novel. -- Allan Massie * The Scotsman *
A dark and compelling tale of what we leave behind us when we die -- Alex Preston * The Guardian *
A stylist and satirical take on Kindle-era publishing, and is also a timely interrogation on the pertinence of rampant masculinity in contemporary fiction. -- Kitty Grady * Financial Times *
