Edward St. Aubyn’s Patrick Melrose series marked him as “the most brilliant English novelist of his generation” (Alan Hollinghurst). His new novel, Double Blind, follows the lives of three friends across a year’s entanglements and travel in its look at the themes of inheritance, determinism, freedom, consciousness, and the stories we tell about ourselves.
“Everything St. Aubyn writes is worth reading—for the cleansing rancor of his intelligence and the fierce elegance of his prose,” writes Anne Enright.
