Summary
Stoppard’s one novel, Lord Malquist and Mr Moon, is an often-overlooked work which explores the actuality of a historical crisis in national identity. The novel is an imaginative appropriation of contemporary attitudes and tropes. It deserves attention as the work of a writer whose cultural and political antennae are as finely tuned as his literary sensibility.
