INCREDIBLE BODIES

Ian McGuire

Thirty-something Morris Gutman is a chronically indecisive temporary lecturer at the University of Coketown. Life hasn't turned out as he planned: he has a demanding wife, an insomniac child and teaches demeaning courses to ungrateful English students. However, he is willing to do whatever it takes to negotiate a permanent departmental job, even if it means finding his way through the minefield that is academia and winning over the alluring and manipulative research fellow Zoe Cable.

Ian McGuire was born in Warwickshire and grew up in Yorkshire. After University at Manchester and Sussex, he moved to the U.S. to do his Ph.D. in English at The University of Virginia. His short stories have appeared in The Paris Review, The Chicago Review and the Italian magazine Panta. He currently teaches American Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Manchester. INCREDIBLE BODIES is his first novel.
