RSSTom McCarthy’s second novel is an inspired shift from the cold, unidentified narrator’s voice that was central to the success of Remainder, his startling debut of last year. In Men in Space we are treated to a cacophony of voices, accents, languages and dialogue in myriad forms. It is a novel that practically rattles with noise. Just like his debut, though, it is a studied novel of ideas that is unlike many others we might read this year.
