The Man Who Saw Everything by Deborah Levy


This was the first work of Deborah Levy’s that I’ve read, and it impressed me thoroughly. The setting, in late 1980s London and East Germany, sets the stage for a story told with a uniquely ethereal use of time, and characters who make you yearn to delve more deeply into their lives. Levy pushes you to consider the effects of perspective, of relationships, of chance, and she does it all masterfully.
