"Men in Space" is the first novel written by Booker Prize finalist McCarthy, author of "Remainder" and "C"--a clever entre into the art world, and a look at the bohemian life that was Prague in the 1990s.

Tom McCarthy was born in 1969 and lives in London. He is known in the art world for the reports, manifestos, and media interventions he has made as General Secretary of the International Necronautical Society (INS), a semi-fictitious avant-garde network. His other books include C, Remainder, and Tintin and the Secret of Literature.
