A finalist for the 2010 Man Booker Prize
In this newest novel from South African writer Damon Galgut, a young loner travels across eastern Africa, Europe, and India. Unsure what he's after, and reluctant to return home, he follows the paths of travelers he meets along the way. Treated as a lover, a follower, a guardian, each new encounter-with an enigmatic stranger, a group of careless backpackers, a woman on the verge-leads him closer to confronting his own identity. Traversing the quiet of wilderness and the frenzy of border crossings, every new direction is tinged with surmounting mourning, as he is propelled toward a tragic conclusion.
In a Strange Room is a brilliant, stylish novel of anger and compassion, longing and thwarted desire, and a hauntingly beautiful evocation of life on the road. First published in The Paris Review in three parts, one of which was selected for a National Magazine Award, and another for the O. Henry Prize, In a Strange Room was shortlisted for the 2010 Man Booker Prize.

最近想读齐所有作品的作者。曾经有个七十多岁的澳大利亚人说，《断背山》消除了他对男同的讨厌，打动了他。Galgut的作品有同样的效果，甚至痕迹更浅，他的故事只关乎一段暧昧，一段情感，不关乎性别。

评分A voice that switches continually btwn 1/2/3 person, doubling back to correct itself, musing about how unsure it is of this or that detail.
