UNCORRECTED PROOF. Softcover. The critically acclaimed author's second novel. The follow-up to his Booker Prize and Whitbread Award finalist debut 'The Restraint of Beasts'. "Told with insidiously beguiling deadpan charm 'All Quiet on the Orient Express' gives us the story of a hapless odd-jobber-our narrator-watching the dregs of summer run out in a campground in England's Lake District, and waiting to set off for the East. Quiet, unassuming, hardworking, he doesn't seem like the adventurous type, but traveling to the Orient has always been his dream-something to think about when you're eating beans out of a can and staring at the campfire. When the owner of the campground offers him a small painting job, our hero thinks it would be rude to refuse. Only a small paint job with some green paint. What's the harm? Besides, he could use the money to buy some more beans. One job leads to another, however, and then another, each stranger and more inscrutable than the one before. Beofre long he is hopelessly and hilariously enmeshed in the off-season mysteries of a placid northern community, grappling with dark forces beyond his power-some of which hang out at the local pub." 240 pages.
