Spurious by Lars Iyer

In a raucous debut that summons up the ironic British classic Goon Show, writer and philosopher Lars Iyer tells the story of someone very like himself, who - together with his more successful friend - goes in search of more palatable literary conferences where they serve better gin. Another reason for their yammering journeys is the fact that the narrator's home is slowly being taken over by a fungus and no one knows what can be done about it. Before it completely swallows his house, the narrator feels compelled to solve some big philosophical questions.

Lars Iyer is a philosophy instructor at Newcastle University in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He is the author of the novel Spurious, as well as two volumes on Blanchot (Blanchot's Communism: Art, Philosophy, and the Political and Blanchot's Vigilance: Phenomenology, Literature, and the Ethical), as well as his blog Spurious.
