The Swallowed Man
I am writing this account, in another man’s book, by candlelight, inside the belly of a fish. I have been eaten...So begins this haunting reimagining of the damp, dismal years endured by Pinocchio's father when trapped within the belly of the shark. In absolute isolation and with no hope of escape, Geppetto's harrowing account of man in extremis becomes the perfect vessel for something rich, strange, and quintessentially human.With unrivalled verbal ingenuity, dark imaginings and an organic capacity for wonder, Carey transmutes his fantastical source material into something entirely his own.
