Reading Edward Docx: Pravda

  • Docx-event_large

London author Edward Docx has snatched the title of "brilliant young writer" from Zadie Smith, and now all eyes are on him. Docx's work draws comparisons to Julian Barnes and Martin Amis for its stylish prose and cynical wit. Long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, his second novel, Pravda (titled Self-Help in the UK), tells the saga of the dysfunctional Anglo-Russian Glover family, whose members are spread across London, Paris, New York, and St. Petersburg. The Glovers' secret history is slowly revealed in a story of identity, family, and relationships.
