Remainder (novel)
''Remainder'' is a 2005 novel published by British author Tom McCarthy. It is McCarthy's third published work, first written in 2001, although not published until 2005 in a limited run of 750 copies printed by the French Metronome Press. The novel was later re-printed by UK publishing house Alma Books, and Vintage Books printed the book in the United States. The plot revolves around an unnamed narrator who has received a large settlement after an accident, and his obsession with recreating half-remembered events from his life before the incident.
''Remainder'' was published to acclaim from critics. McCarthy received the 2007 Believer Book Award for the novel, after its republication.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Believer - The Believer Book Award )〕
==Plot summary==
''Remainder'' tells the story of an unnamed narrator traumatized by an accident which "involved something falling from the sky". Eight and a half million pounds richer due to a compensation settlement but hopelessly estranged from the world around him, ''Remainders protagonist spends his time and money paying others to reconstruct and re-enact vaguely remembered scenes and situations from his past. These re-enactments are driven by a need to inhabit the world "authentically" rather than in the "second-hand" manner that his traumatic situation has bequeathed him. When the recreation of mundane events fails to quench this thirst for authenticity, he starts re-enacting more and more violent events.
