A narrative firework display about a rather extraordinary family, where platforms of books hang from the ceiling and stories are brought to life. And about three siblings bound together by deep love and a great loss.

What do an obsessed Laurence Sterne fan on a daring quest for the alleged tenth volume of Tristram Shandy, a particle physicist who, shielded by kilometers of solid rock, spends years trying to eavesdrop on dark matter particles, a cinema enthusiast concocting wildly experimental films, a small town in northern England, and a sensational discovery have in common?

They all appear in »The Enthusiasts«, probably the most turbulent and daring novel in recent years – a book that recklessly pushes the boundaries of what storytelling can be and what human-made art is capable of. Also featured: a mysterious Thai woman, an infinitely lovable, book-obsessed and headstrong mother who vanishes without a trace, and a father who responds exclusively to questions that have never been asked before.
