Description

From the author and translator of THE DETAILS, shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2024, comes SMALL COMFORT - a book about five people and one thing: money. From the successful child actor who has now turned into a failing thief; to an actor hired to give a speech at a stranger's wedding; to a couple feigning married bliss to keep their inheritance: Small Comfort is a brilliantly original examination of the value of people and money. How do financial structures, such as currency, relate to our own emotional landscapes? What does it really mean to be in debt to someone? And what do we lose when we supposedly win?
