Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

"A disturbing and memorable novel, in which public happenings and private thoughts and relationships are relentlessly intertwined -- the best kind of novel."- The Globe and Mail

"Not a book the reader is likely to forget, Out of This World--deserves to be ranked at the forefront of contemporary fiction." - The New York Times Book Review

"In unravelling the unhappy lives of members of the Beech family, the grandfather a war hero, the son a celebrated photo-journalist, the granddaughter estranged and undergoing analysis, the plot embraces the history of this century's warfare and the attempts of individuals to escape the legacy of their past.... A moving and painful saga." - Sunday Times (U.K.)

"Serious and interesting... Out of This World is asking Swift's characteristically painful, intelligent, difficult questions about the world." - The Observer (U.K.)

"Graham Swift is a writer of extraordinary power." - San Francisco Chronicle

"Powerful and exciting...intense as a thriller." - The London Times
