In More Than This , a boy drowns in the first chapter and then arouse up back in the little Brtitish town where he live before moving to America . Except that it ’s derelict and covered with dust . Is he dead ? Is this a dream ?
Nesstells Publishers Weekly :
I do n’t desire to give away too much but there is an ambiguous element throughout . Is this a real shoes , or is it a kind of afterlife ? The interrogation stay on open . I tried to bet with dystopian image to see what other metaphorical and allegoric uses they could have .
The standalone novel come out this September , and Ness is bring down the ALA conference in Chicago , plus a five - city U.S. tour . [ Publishers Weekly ]
