Synopsis
Tim Binding is perhaps our finest chronicler of British 20th century history through the medium of fiction. With "Man Overboard "he has written the extraordinary and unlikely story of a real-life English war hero. Lionel Buster Crabb became renowned during the Second World War for his amazing feats of underwater daring. After the war he was celebrated for embodying a particular English ideal - a love for King and Country - that seemed to be dying out. Then, in 1956, during a visit to Britain by Nikita Khrushchev, who had arrived by ship, Commander Crabb disappeared. Some thought he had perished while attempting to inspect the Soviet vessel; others that he had been kidnapped and forced to work for the USSR. The truth remains unknown to this day, and out of this mystery Tim Binding has spun a wondrous piece of fiction - a deeply imaginative, gently funny and profoundly stirring exploration of the idea of Englishness. It is the story of a man who has made deep personal sacrifices for the sake of higher ideals and who must, towards the end of his days, measure their meaning and their worth.

Auction Description

In Man Overboard, Tim Binding tells the story of the man in that godless sanatorium, English war hero Commander Crabb, who disappeared in 1956 amid rumours of his capture by the USSR. Deeply imaginative and gently funny, this novel is a profoundly stirring exploration of Englishness and proves once more that Binding is perhaps our finest chronicler of twentieth-century Britain. Published by Picador with full number line. First edition, first impression.
