The Resource Faber, Michel
Name
Faber, Michel
Description
Dutch-born author Michel Faber writes stylistically complex literary fiction that's alternately surreal, satirical, and gritty. Primarily setting his work in Britain, often in the nineteenth century, his character-driven tales are intricately plotted and richly detailed. His varied protagonists are likely to be anyone from a London prostitute, to a Canadian linguist, to an extraterrestrial lurking in the Scottish Highlands. Faber doesn't shy away from the sexually explicit, nor does he feel the need for tidy, nicely wrapped endings, often preferring to leave readers hanging. Start with: The Crimson Petal and the White
