THE CULT NOVEL RETURNS!"e;The best book I read last year is A Man Lies Dreaming by Lavie Tidhar... It is so cleverly constructed and such a spectacular conclusion unfolds that you are going to take it all very seriously."e; - Sting"e;Ambitious as hell"e; -Ian Rankin"e;An excellent novel"e; -Philip KerrSince its original 2014 publication, A Man Lies Dreaming has been translated into multiple languages and gained a cult following for its dark humor, prescient politics and powerful exploration of the impossibility of fantasy.1939: Adolf Hitler, fallen from power, seeks refuge in a London engulfed in the throes of a very British Fascism. Now eking a miserable living as a down-at-heels private eye and calling himself Wolf, he has no choice but to take on the case of a glamorous Jewish heiress whose sister went missing.It's a decision Wolf will very shortly regret.For in another time and place a man lies dreaming: Shomer, once a Yiddish pulp writer, who dreams lurid tales of revenge in the hell that is Auschwitz.Prescient, darkly funny and wholly original, the award-winning A Man Lies Dreaming is a modern fable for our time that comes "e;crashing through the door of literature like Sam Spade with a .38 in his hand"e; (Guardian).PRAISE FOR LAVIE TIDHARWinner - The World Fantasy AwardWinner - The John W.
