A Clean Slate presents a sharp, satirical novel of postwar British society, charting the life of a man who attempts to reinvent himself by erasing his past. Garnett constructs a narrative of identity, deception, and moral ambiguity, as the protagonist abandons his former self and manipulates his way into a new existence. The novel interrogates the fragility of social constructs and the ease with which personal history can be rewritten when memory and accountability are discarded. Garnett’s prose commands attention with its precision and wit, driving a narrative that critiques class pretensions and the superficiality of reinvention.
