Notes From A Coma by Mike McCormack is a compelling novel that blends elements of speculative fiction and literary realism to explore themes of consciousness, identity, and social alienation. The narrative centers on the enigmatic experiment conducted at the Iris Murdoch Centre, where patients in a coma-like state are artificially sustained, raising profound ethical and philosophical questions. McCormack's prose is intricate and immersive, weaving together multiple perspectives and temporal strands that challenge traditional storytelling. The novel's contemplative tone and innovative structure invite readers to reflect on the nature of existence and the fine line between life and death.
