About this product

Product Information

A thrillingly original novel published in thirty-three countries to worldwide acclaim, The New York Times Magazine called The Raw Shark Texts a genre-founding work of fiction. Eric Sanderson wakes up in a house he doesn't recognize, unable to remember anything of his life. All he has left are his diary entries recalling Clio, a perfect love who died under mysterious circumstances, and a house that may contain the secrets to Eric's prior life. But there may be more to this story, or it may be a different story altogether. With the help of allies found on the fringes of society, Eric embarks on an edge-of-your-seat journey to uncover the truth about himself and to escape the predatory forces that threaten to consume him. Moving with the pace of a superb thriller, The Raw Shark Texts has sparked the imaginations of readers around the world and is one of the most talked-about novels in years.

"Exhilarating." Entertainment Weekly "Rousingly inventive." The Washington Post "Unforgettable fiction." Playboy "A thriller that will haunt you." GQ "Sharp and clear…writing on the edge of the form." Los Angeles Times "If Paul Auster and Haruki Murakami collaborated onMoby-Dickcrossed withThe Wizard of Oz, they might produce something like Hall's deliriously ambitious debut. . . . Riveting . . . A narrative feat of hallucinatory imagination."

Riveting . . . A narrative feat of hallucinatory imagination." --"Kirkus Reviews" (starred review), Razor sharp, it pulls you in from the first page. Eric Sanderson has lost his identity, and his journey to get it back will blow your mind. -- Geoffrey B. Jennings, Reading The Raw Shark Texts reminded me of the experience I had first reading Infinite Jest and House of Leaves--Here is a white-hot new talent who has created a different kind of landscape for words--a place where words can actually save you--and the deeper you read, the better it gets. His book is a high-concept myth told with popular conventions, and it will no doubt inspire a cult following. -- Jamie Kornegay, Steven Hall has delivered a trippy story, a meditation on love and loss (the kind of soul-crushing, impossible loss that makes one believe in conceptual fish), a thriller that will haunt you. Pass it on to a friend. Commence debate. -- Mickey Rapkin, Try saying The Raw Shark Texts ten times, as fast as you can... I couldn't either. But after reading Steven Hall's remarkable new novel I'm confident The Raw Shark Texts will be on everyone's lips when it debuts this spring. When a novel this inventive, this literary, is combined with a narrative that is this taut and this riveting, the only thing for a bookseller to do is learn how to repeat the title over and over again without screwing it up, because I'm confident all of us will be recommending it endlessly to anyone who'll listen. -- Mitchell Kaplan, "If Paul Auster and Haruki Murakami collaborated onMoby-Dickcrossed withThe Wizard of Oz, they might produce something like Hall's deliriously ambitious debut. . . . Riveting . . . A narrative feat of hallucinatory imagination." --Kirkus Reviews(starred review), Not since Fight Club have I read a book that sizzled with such fierce originality and searing vision as Steven Hall's electrifying debut novel. . . . The Raw Shark Texts pulls you under like a riptide, leaving you exhausted, exhilarated, and gasping for air." -- Brad Thomas Parsons

I am very pleased with the price of this new book (the lowest I found). I'm happy with the prompt shipping. The only problem was that the box was damaged during shipping. The new book itself sustained very minor cosmetic damage, no doubt from rough handling. The seller offered to send me a return label at no cost, which I do appreciate. However, I was able to repair the slight damage very easily. Thanks again for your concern.

  • AMAZING!

    I cannot put this book down literally. The first day I read about 50 pages of it, excellent! This book is mysterious! Never read one like this, it is true that it goes into its own genera all together. This book extends past the reality of creativity and consciousness. If there was a movie about it, the movie will not be able to capture the thrill and the picture that comes into the minds eye. Read this A++
