In the British author's latest novel of the uncanny, a concert pianist seeks to escape a humiliating public failure 'I use dreams,' Deborah Levy has said, 'to disturb the reality levels of my book[s]'; real life doubles up, scenes repeat, strange characters make unexpected appearances.

Her novels maintain a playful relationship with the laws of the physical world: time folds, loops and fragments.
