«Lean Fall Stand» is the contemporary fiction novel by Jon McGregor, published by Fourth Estate in hardcover (288 pages, in English).
A scientific expedition in Antarctica goes wrong and the consequences affect the men involved and their families. Robert 'Doc' Wright, a veteran of polar work, knows what happened but can no longer tell it; his wife Anna cares for him as he learns to live in a different way. A story about heroism, sacrifice and the urge to narrate when words fail.
Jon McGregor, author of Reservoir 13, won the Costa Book Award and has been longlisted for the Booker Prize on three occasions. The original publication is April 29, 2021.
For book clubs and for readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in Antarctica, family and language.
