Daniel Brodin - bibliophile, book thief, self-proclaimed poet - enters the heated atmosphere of the Cafe Serbier, home of the Parisian literati. Under pressure, he recites not one of his own surrealist poems but an obscure piece of Italian verse he's certain no one will know. It's plagiarism - but it's a triumph. In this milieu, the wine is good and the girls are beautiful - but can success last if it is founded on plagiarism, on theft?
The much-anticipated final volume of Rob Davis’s dark and inventive trilogyThe Motherless Ovenand The Can Opener’s Daughtermay have raised more questions than they answered, but The Book of Forks explains everything.
