Marcel Theroux: Strange Bodies

from FaberBooks · host FaberBooks

Marcel Theroux's new novel Strange Bodies takes the reader on a dizzying speculative journey that poses questions about identity, translation, consciousness, metamorphosis, technology, necromancy, resurrection, immortality, not to mention Frankenstein, Ray Kurzweil and some of Communist Russia's most prominent thinkers. The book fizzes with ideas, but ultimately leaves you pondering just what it is to be human. Here is Marcel Theroux in conversation with Faber Podcast host George Miller.
