>The horn of a passing car made me snap to. I left my flat and hurried down to a phone box to call Marc Daubenay back. The nearest one was just round the corner, on Coldharbour Lane. As I crossed my road and walked down the one lying perpendicular to it, I thought about the sum: eight and a half million. I pictured it in my mind, its shape. The eight was perfect, neat: a Curved figure infinitely turning back into itself. But then the half. Why had they added the half? It seemed to me so messy, this half: a leftover fragment, a shard of detritus.>When my knee-cap had set after being shattered in the accident, one tiny splinter had stayed loose. The doctors hadn’t managed to fish it out, so it just floated around beside the ball, redundant, surplus to requirements; sometimes it got jammed between the ball and its socket and messed up the whole joint, locking it, inflaming nerves and muscles. I remember picturing the sum’s leftover fraction, the half, as I walked down the street that day, picturing it as the splinter in my knee, and frowning, thinking: Eight alone would have been better.Tom McCarthy, Remainder (honestly all of his other books too)

>>24723518Are you the anon that claims Watt made him go momentarily insane? That always brings me a hearty chuckle. Even so, after I finished Watt, I was under the delusion that I was Beckett reincarnated for a while. You see, the first time I read Watt was in French, but I knew what was about to happen on every page. It was like a flood of old memories were coming back to me. There was no other way to explain it except I was Samuel Beckett reincarnated.
