The author of the “The Beach,” the most talked about backpacker travel novel of our time, has written a new novel entitled “The Coma.” Don’t look for another travel tale here. “The Coma” is about a man who is knocked unconscious, and any journey is inward. The London Telegraph features a story about Garland, who discusses his “intellect anxiety,” the new novel and the fact that “The Beach” began as a comic book.
