You Complete the Masterpiece: A Novel

Guy Mankowski

4.9/5 (27250 ratings)

Description:Millennial author Jude is lost in obscurity until he's saved by an award bequeathed by Alberto Valdez, the highly controversial surrealist Spanish author who first inspired him to write. But given Valdez’s unsolved disappearance, the motives behind his giving Jude the award are a mystery. Jude soon learns that there is more to the award than he'd first realised, and it requires him to complete Valdez’s final masterpiece. But why was he chosen? And can one person ever really know another - let alone complete their work? You Complete the Masterpiece is part jet-setting thriller, part literary puzzle, and part indictment of corruption in the #MeToo era.'An author who I've been reading for many years. He combines the genres of thriller with literary fiction, and this is his best book yet. Perceptive and intimate, you will want to savour every line in this timely book. Mankowski takes me into the world of this novel with such sensitivity, his writing is so poised it's a pleasure to read. Reminded me of The Talented Mr Ripley.' Ruth Dugdall, bestselling author of My Sister and Other Liars and the Cate Austin series ‘This is accessible literary fiction at its finest. An intimate portrait…yet the plot is dynamic with intrigue and crime stretched over a broad geographical canvas. A literary puzzle, satire and some important contemporary themes (#MeToo and inter-generational inequality) further elevate the novel. I loved it. Highly recommended.’ Helen Matthews, prizewinning author of Girl Out of Sight 'Mankowski writes with passion and intelligence, from meditations on the sublime to exploring complex emotional territories, we are shown his worlds through a unique lens of psychological inquiry.' Shaun Wilson, Northern Writers Award-winning author of 'Malcs Boy' 'As a long-term fan of the writing of Guy Mankowski I was really looking forward to this new story. His novels and nonfiction are always created with skill and a talent for page-turning prose. You Complete The Masterpiece is no different. The narrative is full of sensuous layering, interweaved with an edge of social justice commentary - integrating themes of the ever-widening distance between the rich and poor and the sometime rip-off culture in modern higher education. There is a core in the novel, reminding us of the continuing importance of the message in the MeToo movement and the absolute need to keep exposing sexual misconduct. I loved the moments of literary and philosophical immanence. And by the end of the novel's international journey, I felt deeply satisfied with the conclusion of people finding each other and true connections being the most important things of life. I loved it. It's a beautiful read. 'Guy Mankowski is the heir to the ground between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Graham Greene.'
