About the Author:
John Lanchester is the author of Capital, a novel, How to Speak Money, and I.O.U., a New York Times best-selling book on the financial crisis. A regular contributor to The New Yorker and the New York Review of Books, he lives in London.
Review:
“Not only immensely enjoyable but important, too.”
- Claire Messud, author of The Burning Girl
“Lanchester [is] a brainy, pleasure-loving polymath [and] reading Capital is like getting a crash course in the transformation of British mores and class distinctions.”
- Liesl Schillinger, New York Times Book Review
“Full of spectacular comedy―and menace.”
- Ron Charles, Washington Post
“Perfect fireside reading that captures the Trollopean ‘way we live now’ without putting on grand airs.”
- James Wolcott, Vanity Fair
“Brilliant.”
- Lizzie Skurnick, NPR Books
“Searching, expert, on the money. I loved it.”
- Joseph O’Neill, author of Netherland
“Capital comes in a great tradition of novels which are filled with the news of now, in which the intricacies of the present moment are noticed with clarity and relish and then brilliantly dramatized. It is clear that its characters, its wisdom, and the scope and range of its sympathy, will fascinate readers into the far future.”
- Cólm Toibín, author of Brooklyn
“Fresh, astutely observed, and a lot of fun.”
- Sebastian Smee, Boston Globe
“A big, funny, sure-footed novel...rich in observation and warm in spirit.”
- Dan Kois, Slate
“As enrapturing as it is psychologically acute...Capital portrays an authentic slice of contemporary life on the eve of change in a way that recalls Franzen―with a welcome touch of wry humor.”
- Trisha Ping, Bookpage
- Claire Messud, author of The Burning Girl

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Pepys Road: an ordinary street in the Capital. Each house has seen its fair share of first steps and last breaths, and plenty of laughter in between. Today, through each letterbox along this ordinary street drops a card with a simple message: We Want What You Have. At forty, Roger Yount is blessed with an expensively groomed wife, two small sons and a powerful job in the City. An annual bonus of a million might seem excessive, but with second homes and nannies to maintain, he's not sure he can get by without it. Elsewhere in the Capital, Zbigniew has come from Warsaw to indulge the super-rich in their interior decoration whims. Freddy Kano, teenage football sensation, has left a two-room shack in Senegal to follow his dream. Traffic warden Quentina has exchanged the violence of the police in Zimbabwe for the violence of the enraged middle classes. For them all, this city offers the chance of a different kind of life. Capital is a post-crash state-of-the nation novel told with compassion and humour, featuring a cast of characters that you will be sad to leave behind. The bestselling, moving and hugely topical story of one street caught on the brink of the crash. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
