The Infinities by John Banville
John Banville is one of the finest and most critically-acclaimed writers of his generation. With elegance, insight and wit, he has secured a devoted readership and there can be few more eagerly anticipated literary events than a new John Banville novel. Having written several crime novels under the pen name Benjamin Black, this is the first novel under his own name since he won the 2005 Booker Prize with The Sea. First Light is a bitter-sweet erotic comedy with magical overtones, a sort of demotic Midsummer Night's Dream. Set across one single summer's day, from dawn to the early hours of the next day, this is a funny, moving and accessible novel that will delight Banville fans as well as bringing new readers to this most assured of writers.
John Banville was born in Wexford, Ireland, in 1945. He is the author of many highly acclaimed and prize-winning novels including The Sea, which won the 2005 Booker Prize. He has been awarded the Franz Kafka Prize and a literary award from the Lannan Foundation. He lives in Dublin.
