DUNBAR - Edward St Aubyn

Edward St Aubyn is renowned for his masterwork, the five Melrose novels, which dissect with savage and beautiful precision the agonies of family life. Dunbar is his take on Shakespeare’s King Lear in which he imagines the protagonist as a media despot, tragically falling from grace. It is a devastating family story and novel of our times – an examination of power, money and the value of forgiveness.

We commissioned Peter Strain to illustrate Dunbar, dwarfed by an epic, blizzardous landscape that wraps around the full jacket.

Dunbar is published by Hogarth Shakespeare and available now in hardback
