About book

The Museum of Doubt is a new collection of surreal and unnerving short stories from award-winning writer James Meek. The array of characters who populate Meek's vague and elusive worlds are driven by paranoia and doubts, as well as hopes and fears of things only half-glimpsed.

"Demanding and rewarding, lyrical and vernacular, smart and entertaining." - * Times Literary Supplement *

"Ricochets between the supernatural and the suburban throughout...the writing fizzes...This is true experimental writing: careless of taboo, teeming with ideas, elusive yet utterly controlled." - * Guardian *

"Bristling with wit and invention, these tales are full of hair-brained schemes, hair-raising moments, and incredibly close shaves...tongue-twisting wordplay, clipped dialogue and well-groomed characters ..These stories are all collector's items." - * Sunday Herald *

"The maniac energy of Kerouac pulses throughout the prose, but there is also a hallucinatory horror and hyper-realist constraint miraculously balanced in a manner which suggests the perfect fusion of Kafka and Kelman." - * The Scotsman *
