Beautiful Mutants





A stunning early novel by the Man Booker-shortlisted author of Swimming Home

Lapinski, a manipulative and magical Russian exile, summons forth a number of highly contemporary urban pilgrims. Through them, Levy explores broken dreams and self-destructive desires in a shimmering, dislocated allegory of its times.
