'In the blackened vacuum of his distant memory there would forever be that event from Paris.'
During the Paris uprising in May 1968 utopian student Tom Stepello witnesses his best friend Fabian get beaten by police. Forty years later, long into his academic career, Tom's reputation lies in tatters. He stands accused of authoring false intelligence used to justify arming the wrong side in an African war. Reconnecting Tilda, his first love from Paris with whom he has just been reunited, and Maxwell, Fabian's twin who seems in some way connected to his present trouble, Tom is forced to renegotiate conclusions he had drawn a lifetime ago.
Set between the stone-scratched skies of the Latin Quarter of Paris in 1968 and academic London four decades later, The Art of Throwing Stones is a story of trauma, guilt, memory and misinterpretation.
