Omtale fra forlaget
WINNER OF THE BETTY TRASK AWARDWINNER OF THE SOMERSET MAUGHAM AWARDLONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZEOn a street in a town in the North of England, ordinary people are going through the motions of their everyday existence - street cricket, barbecues, painting windows... A young man is in love with a neighbour who does not even know his name. An old couple make their way up to the nearby bus stop. But then a terrible event shatters the quiet of the early summer evening. That this remarkable and horrific event is only poignant to those who saw it, not even meriting a mention on the local news, means that those who witness it will be altered for ever.Jon McGregor's first novel brilliantly evokes the histories and lives of the people in the street to build up an unforgettable human panorama. Breathtakingly original, humane and moving, If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things is an astonishing debut.

And I kept trying to tell myself to calm down. To tell myself that this is not something out of the ordinary, this is something that happens. This is not an unbearable disaster, a thing to be bravely soldiered through. It's something that happens. But I think I need somebody to say these words for me to believe them, I don't think I can speak clearly or loudly enough when I say them to myself.

All the emails I get these days starts with sorry but I've been so busy, and I don't understand how we can be so busy and then have nothing to say to each other.
