Skios: A Novel of Mixed and Mistaken Identities by British Author Michael Frayn

On June 16, 2012, in Book Reviews, Fiction, by Editor

In a spiraling farce about upright academics, gilded captains of industry, ambitious climbers, and dotty philanthropists, Michael Frayn, the farceur “by whom all others must be measured” (CurtainUp), tells a story of personal and professional disintegration, probing his eternal theme of how we know what we know even as he delivers us to the outer limits of hilarity.
