All Souls

“All Souls” is a compelling black comedy of Oxford life by Javier Marias, whose highly-anticipated new novel “The Infatuations” is published in 2013. This Penguin Modern Classics edition features a new Introduction by John Banville, author of “The Sea”. The pretty young tutor Clare Bayes attracts many eyes at an Oxford college dinner, not least those of a visiting Spanish lecturer (desperate to escape his conversation with an obese economist about an eighteenth-century cider tax). As they begin an affair, meeting in hotel bedrooms away from the eyes of Clare`s husband, the Spaniard finds himself increasingly drawn into the strange world of Oxford, `one of the cities in the world where the least work gets done`, in a story of lust, loneliness, vanity and memory. Filled with brilliant set pieces and pin-sharp observation, “All Souls” is a masterpiece of black humour.
