Good book with dust jacket from the author of The Beach
*The Coma* by Alex Garland is a psychological thriller and surreal novel that explores themes of identity, consciousness, and the nature of reality. The story follows Carl, a man who is brutally attacked on a subway and subsequently falls into a coma. As Carl navigates his internal world, the novel blurs the lines between dreams, memories, and reality, creating a disorienting and atmospheric narrative.
Garland uses vivid imagery and sparse prose to evoke the eerie, detached experience of Carl`s journey, leaving the reader to question what is real and what is imagined. The novel`s structure and themes echo existential and philosophical ideas, making it a thought-provoking and unsettling read. The illustrations by Nicholas Garland, Alex Garland`s father, further enhance the dreamlike quality of the book.
Overall, *The Coma* is a brief yet intense novel, filled with ambiguity and introspection, that invites readers to delve into the complexities of the mind and self-awareness.
