«The Man Who Saw Everything» is the contemporary novel by Deborah Levy, published by Penguin Books Ltd in paperback (208 pages, in English).
In 1988, Saul Adler, a young historian, is hit by a car on Abbey Road; his girlfriend Jennifer Moreau photographs him crossing the crossing and he travels to East Berlin. There he meets his translator, the translator's sister and the hippy Rainer. The plot jumps between eras and cities to explore memory, guilt and the weight of history, and returns to Abbey Road in 2016.
The novel appeared on the longlist for the Booker Prize 2019 and was a finalist for the Goldsmiths Prize 2019.
For readers of literary fiction with an interest in 1980s Berlin, the Cold War and non-linear narrative structures.
