The Add Man by Malcolm Gluck


He sold the world its desires until he discovered what lies beyond them.

From postwar austerity to the excesses of the modern age, The Add Man traces the ascent of a working-class boy into the rarefied world of global advertising. It is a story of reinvention, ambition, and the seductive power of image. But beneath the glitter lies something darker. A single act of violence fractures the narrative, opening a doorway into a reality beyond the senses, a realm that unsettles everything he thought he knew. 

Both a social history and a metaphysical inquiry, this novel explores how we construct meaning and what happens when that meaning collapses.

Malcolm Gluck is the author of some 47 books on wine. For sixteen years he wrote the Guardian newspaper’s weekly Superplonk column. He also presented the BBC-2 TV programme Gluck Gluck Gluck. But tasting 14,000 bottles of wine a year became a chore and so he decided to concentrate on his first love: fiction. His appetite for words, people, and life, is undiminished. The Glassfull Press is the result. Twenty novels, fifty short stories, and two collections of novellas are in the pipeline.
