Title: Batlava Lake Author: Adam Mars-Jones ISBN: 9781913097622 Publisher: Fitzcarraldo Editions Published: 2021 Binding: Paperback Language: English Condition Note: New from the publisher Publisher Description: Exploring masculinity, class and identity, Batlava Lake is a brilliant story of men and war by one of Britain's most accomplished writers. Pristina, Kosovo, 1999. Barry Ashton, recently divorced, has been deployed as a civil engineer attached to the Royal Engineers corps in the British Army. In an extraordinary feat of ventriloquism, Adam Mars-Jones constructs a literary story with a thoroughly unliterary narrator, and a narrative that is anything but comic through the medium of a character who, essentially, is.
