Description

The author's first novel in 14 years, a novel full of what many readers will see as tantalizing hints of autobiography. The central character is an elderly writer, well respected abroad but almost unknown in his own country. His life intersects with others in obsessive and disturbing ways. A literary achievement as rich in subplot as it is in character, raising many questions and dealing with many ideas. A rich, complex, brilliant book where "things start going off in the wrong directions". Name of previous owner on ffep. else fine
