The Unnamed Summary

The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris

Tim Farnsworth is a handsome, healthy man, ageing with the grace of a matinee idol. He loves his work. He loves his family. He loves his kitchen. And then one day he stands up and walks out on all of it. He cannot stop walking. And, as his body propels him relentlessly forward, deep into the unfamiliar outer reaches of the city, he begins to realise he is moving further and further from his old self, seemingly unable to turn back and retrieve what he has lost. In his extraordinary novel Joshua Ferris delineates with great tenderness and a rare and inimitable wit the devastating story of a life taken for granted and what happens when that life is torn away without explanation or warning. The Unnamed is no less than a shimmering reflection of our times, of the lives we aspire to and the terrifying realisation of what is beyond our control.

The Unnamed Reviews

An important and individual work, a stage in the development of a significant talent Daily Telegraph He has teased ordinary circumstances into something extraordinary, which is exactly what we want our fiction writers to do Economist What an imagination - and what a memorable conceit ... This engaging and original novel confirms Ferris as a writer who, like his hero, is being taken - half voluntarily - on an unpredictable journey Literary Review Ferris writes hauntingly on the fragility of our minds and on the compulsions that drive us, despite our best intentions Vogue As a metaphor for any sort of addiction - particularly its impact on those around you - this is remarkable GQ
