Shortlisted for the Folio Prize and internationally celebrated by critics and readers alike, here is a dazzling and utterly original novel about making art, love, and children during the twilight of an empire. In prose that Jonathan Franzen has called 'hilarious... cracklingly intelligent... and original in every sentence', 10:04 charts an exhilarating course through the contemporary landscape of sex, friendship, memory, art and politics and captures what it is like to be alive right now.
