The Museum of Doubt
“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.
Reviews of The Museum of Doubt
"This is true experimental writing: careless of taboo, teeming with ideas, elusive yet utterly controlled." GUARDIAN "Demanding and rewarding, lyrical and vernacular, smart and entertaining." TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT "Outstanding. It is rather as though David Lynch has been let loose on the set of a drawing-room comedy." THE TIMES"
