- Book Synopsis
- In the solitude of his room, Alan Bland confronts the shattering loss of his enigmatic best friend, known only as X. Armed with a typewriter and a heart on tenterhooks, Alan embarks on a marathonian six-day, six-night challenge, pouring out a torrent of memories to unravel the man who was both his confidant and rival. X, a figure cloaked in unsettling secrecy, formed one pinnacle of a tangled love triangle with Alan and the elusive Amara, a woman whose allure proved both magnetic and devastating. As Alan recounts their fraught romance, he lays bare the wounds of Amara's choice. As the hours blur and exhaustion takes hold, Alan's prose frays, veering into fevered, semi-conscious revelations. Exhausted and close to death, after hitting the wall, he makes a supreme effort at the climax of his tale to finally reveal the startling truth about X. For readers of Andrew Komarnyckyj's sharp wit and literary finesse, as seen in his novel Ezra Slef, Marathon d'Ecriture delivers a darkly romantic and intellectually provocative tale, laced with mordant humour and profound insight, a journey that will resonate with all those who have ever wrestled with the ghosts of love, secrecy, memory and death.
