Satin Island is a novel written by Tom McCarthy. It is McCarthy's fourth novel and fifth book. Plot. The novel follows a protagonist, "U.", an employee of "the Company" which is a consulting firm. U is a former anthropologist who now applies his skills to cases handled by the Company. Reception. The novel was well received. Satin Island is really the quintessential display of McCarthy's style. Using the mouthpiece of a corporate anthropologist who's working on some mysterious, impossible project, McCarthy tells essentially a series of seemingly unrelated anecdotes -- little nuggets of interesting historical facts, stray observations about people walking around, random musings about things from the television. KELLY MCEVERS, HOST: Now, "Satin Island." It's the title of the new book by Tom McCarthy, the acclaimed experimental novelist. It is a novel, but our reviewer Alan Cheuse says it might be more apt.
