Anyone read any of his stuff apart from The Prestige (vey clever story with an equally clever adaptation). On the back of the Prestige I got The Affirmation on Amazon. It's about a man who after losing his father, breaking up with his girlfriend and being made redundnat moves into a cottage in a country and starts writing his biography. It's a bit of a head bender. I also got The Seperation about twins who after winning a medal at the Berlin Olympics take two different paths when World War 2 breaks out, one becomes a pilot for bombers and the other takes the role of concensious objector and works for the Red Cross, it's another head bender.
Next I got The Glamour, it's about a camera man who ends up in hospital after an explosion and starts to try to piece together his memory with the help of his ex girl friend. There's a few twists which turns the story around and the ending baffled me.
Has anyone read any of these and more importantly can some one explain The Glamour to me?

Yeah, think that makes sense. What I like about the books are they are very narrative driven with no big climaxes to rely on. You should try The Seperation if you like the whole ambiguity thing, but it's actually frustrating and was expecting a better pay off.

The first half of The Separation i loved but i agree the ambiguity of the finale was frustrating. Pretty sure i 'got it' though. Haven't read any of his other books.
