Book Preview<\/h3>\n

A man lies in a coma after a near-fatal accident. His body broken, his memory vanished, he finds himself in the surreal world of the bridge – a world free of the usual constraints of time and space, a world where dream and fantasy, past and future fuse. Who is this man? Where is he? Is he more dead than alive? Or has he never been so alive before? <\/p>\n

‘Iain Banks of THE WASP FACTORY eclipses that sensational debut…a real dazzler’ Daily Mail<\/i><\/p>\n

‘Great artistry, great virtuosity … great exuberance’ New Statesman<\/i><\/p>\n

‘This one’s his best yet’ New Musical Express<\/i><\/p>\n

‘THE BRIDGE is serious, but playful; it is full of throwaway jokes, minor tangles for the reader to sort out, political\/cultural references to the kind of reality that rarely gets into British literature, and nuggets of surprising truth juxtaposed with outrageous lies… convincing in a way too little fantasy or mainstream literature is’ City Limits<\/i><\/p>\n
