In English, the novel of one of the most intelligent British writers is called “Terrible Privacy” (“Terrible loneliness”).

In English, the novel of one of the most intelligent British writers is called “Terrible Privacy” (“Terrible loneliness”). This is what we are talking about here – 48-year-old Maxwell Sim broke up with his wife and daughter. He has no friends, no favorite thing, he only goes to chain restaurants, because only they are predictable, slipping in a depressive drowsiness past everyone and everything. Unexpectedly for himself, Maxwell flies to his father in Sydney. This is where the story of his healing begins. By the end of the novel, having met a lot of people, having traded toothbrushes in the Shetland Islands, the hero makes a discovery: only the feeling that you are connected with others by a thousand threads turns our existence into true life. Coe this time remains a writer-philosopher, accurately recording the changes that have occurred with Europeans in recent years.
