'Sharp, elegant prose ... It recalls, in tone, Vladimir Nabokov. The language is, by turns, delicately allusive and rich, even ripely comic' D.J. Enright, T.L.S. (TLS)

Translated from the original Dutch by Adrienne Dixon. Cover artwork by Graham Palfrey-Rogers. ; King Penguin; 150 pages; A disturbing story of a man's need to make sense of the world. Inni Wintrop knew that life was chaotic and accidental. He knew too that there were two ways to live it. As he did, with indolence and lethargy, a dilettante drifting along from day to day. Or as Arnold and Philip Taads did, each in his different way creating a personal system of ritual and control to keep the emptiness of the universe at bay. But, and Inni knew this as well, all paths lead to the same futile end. N° de réf. du vendeur 24587
