Penguin Engleby. by Sebastian Faulks
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.
