Field Ramble with Ben Pester
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Published by Granta earlier this autumn, Ben Pester’s debut novel is the story of Tom Crowley - a Willy Loman figure for our age - who is slowly and terrifyingly absorbed into the hallucinatory and labyrinthine surroundings of his work. From the deceptive nature of Luke Bird’s day-glow cover art to the impenetrability of the novel’s work-speak The Expansion Project is deeply unnerving precisely for its recognisable qualities. The alienation, accountability and obsolesce of corporation life at the ever growing 'Capmeadow Business Park,’ a dystopic setting that absorbs memory and demands disassociation.
‘A profoundly moving, extraordinary novel … Witty, touching, layered and entirely original’
Rose Ruane
‘A surrealist nightmare that flows with its own logic, humour, politics and plot energy’
Ross Raisin
‘This is a luminous and startling novel from a unique new voice.’
Samuel Fisher
