Popis knihy

PRAISE FOR A MAN OF SHADOWS This superb novel of light, glass and blood proves again that Jeff Noon is one of our few true visionaries. - Warren Ellis A disturbing and bizarre journey by one of the great masters of weird fiction. - Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time Every Jeff Noon novel is a wonderful, precious thing. These are bad times, and we need him more than ever. - Dave Hutchinson, British Science Fiction Association Award-winning author of the Europe series Style has always been Noon's strongest suit, and in creating the varied cityscapes of A Man of Shadows, his talent for hallucinatory imagery has found a perfect match. This book is absolutely drenched in arresting visuals. - Sam Reader for The B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog Manchester's delirious prophet returns with scripture written in shadow and light. - Kieron Gillen, co-creator of The Wicked + The Divine Noon has written a kaleidoscopic noir novel of dizzying dream logic. - Publishers Weekly [Noon's] prose takes you to weird and scary places other novelists don't go - a reminder why he's so revered. - SFX magazine A fever dream of a tale about light, darkness, family, loss and time. - Scott Whitmore, Writer I highly recommend this book as it's very well done, with an interesting story, good characters, and original ideas. - Helen's Bookshelf Gripping. - Chicago Review of Books Surreal, dazzling, unusual and extraordinary - A Man Of Shadows will haunt you for a long time after turning that last page. - Liz Loves Books I loved the book so much its going in my must read again pile. 5/5 - The Dreamland Bookshelf I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would have recommended it just for the amazing world-building alone, however having fantastic characters and an excellent plot means that this is definitely a novel worth reading. - BrenhinesBooks Weird and creepy and very engaging. - Shadows of the Apt There's a lot of imagination infused in the dime-store detective facade that brings complexities conceived through clever concepts and well thought-out plot devices which make A Man of Shadows a joy to read. - Just A Guy That Likes To Read A Man of Shadows is a quite extraordinary novel. Its world building is absolutely fantastic - intricate, complex, moody and disturbingly real. Dayzone and Nocturna are brilliantly visualised and would have been sufficiently impressive on their own but the skill of Jeff Noon astounds even further with his treatment of time. - For Winter Nights I really enjoyed this one, as well as a clever story with a great protagonist, it's also an example of just how much Noon loves language. The descriptions, especially of the strange stuff are just a pleasure to read. If you're a fan of China Mieville, Brian Caitling or Jeff VanderMeer this is one for you. - Stefen's Books Wonderful and uniquely absorbing. - Starburst Noon takes the concept of time and plays with it from every possible angle. - Strange Alliances A vibrant, bizarre trip through the dark corners of the brain, ever so slightly out of the light. - Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog A truly original, extremely mind bending, speculative fiction/noir detective/weird book. Not for the faint of heart, A Man of Shadows will have you looking at the differences in time between different clocks in your home with growing suspicion. - Book Skill Jeff Noon's A Man of Shadows is undeniably a work of art, and an engaging one. - The 1000 Year Plan PRAISE FOR JEFF NOON Winner of the Arthur C Clarke Award 1994 for Vurt, listed in Lesher's Best Novels of The Nineties [Vurt] Winner of the 1995 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer Noon is the Lewis Carroll of Manchester's housing estates: eccentric, surreal, and ready to take everything to its most absurd conclusion. In Noon's stories the cocktail of alienation, narco
