The Man Who Saw Everything (2019)
by Deborah Levy
The Man Who Saw Everything follows a young historian, Saul Adler. In 1988 he is hit by a car on Abbey Road in London, but suffers no serious injuries. His girlfriend breaks up with him and he goes to study in East Germany, months before the Berlin Wall comes down. In 2016 he is once again hit by a car on Abbey Road. Deborah Levy slips between time zones and explores memory, history, and love. The Man Who Saw Everything was longlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize.
