F by Daniel Kehlmann, review: 'clever in all the right ways'

01 Nov 2014  |  The Telegraph  |  English  |  Literature

Daniel Kehlmann's latest book, F, translated by Carol Brown Janeway, is an intelligent, acerbic, and surreal tale of three brothers who have diverged into radically different paths, each embodying a form of contemporary faithlessness. The narrative explores themes of fate and self-determination, with characters including a doubting priest, a fraudulent City trader, and a bogus art dealer. The book is praised for its subtlety and philosophical depth, with Kehlmann's storytelling having a hypnotic effect on readers.
