Tom McCarthy’s first novel Remainder has been translated into more than ten languages and is being adapted for cinema by Film4. In 2008 it won the Believer Book Award. His avant-garde art “organization,” the International Necronautical Society, surfaces through publications, proclamations and denunciations, live events and conventional art exhibitions at institutions including Tate Britain and Moderna Museet Stockholm. He is also the author of the non-fiction book Tintin and the Secret of Literature, and has written for the New York Times, The London Review of Books, Harper’s and Artforum. His new novel C is published by Knopf.
