1. Penguin Engleby.
A darkly comic and unsettling first-person narrative follows an intelligent but socially awkward man from a modest background as he moves through Cambridge and into adulthood, nursing fixations on a young woman and steadily unraveling his own account of events; told by an unreliable narrator whose gaps in memory and self-justifications obscure motives and culpability, the novel probes class, identity, mental illness and the ways ordinary lives can conceal dangerous obsessions.

2. Парижское эхо
Роман рассказывает историю женщины, живущей в современном Париже, чья спокойная повседневность нарушается событиями, заставляющими воскресить давние травмы и утраты; через сдвиги между прошлым и настоящим автор проводит параллели между личной памятью и общественными потрясениями — терроризмом, миграцией и последствиями войн — и исследует, как прошлое формирует идентичность, отношения и восприятие города.
