The Tesseract - Thryft

Intense Manila night: lives collide in darkness.

If you found "The Beach" by Alex Garland thrilling, "The Tesseract" offers a similar rush, setting its gripping narrative in Manila's dark underbelly. You'll be quickly drawn into the interconnected stories of characters from different facets of life—gangsters, a family, street children—as they converge in a dramatic climax. It promises to keep you hooked, turning each page until the very end, and might leave you contemplating the complexities of fate and human connection.

Description

Gripping from the first pages, Garland's new novel is set over three hours during one night in Manila. With the pace and suspense of "The Beach", this novel intertwines three the shady dealings of gangsters, the tautly and emotionally drawn tale of a Phillipino family and the violent lives of a gang of street kids, until their different lives collide in a shattering finale. It is beautifully written and unputdownable. 'Is Alex Garland the new Graham Greene? After "The Tesseract" the question needs to be asked ...a powerful narrative drive, exotic locations that unfold like a corrupt and mysterious flower, and a moody intelligence that holds everything together' - JG Ballard.
