Spanning 50 years and three continents, from pre-war Suffolk to the Far East in the 1940s to Oxford and America in the present, this is the story of one man's re-examination of the meaning of his life, as juxtaposed with the lives of those around him.

Winner of two Hugo Awards, one Nebula Award, and named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Brian W. Aldiss has, for over fifty years, continued to challenge readers' minds with literate, thought-provoking, and inventive science fiction.Analyst Clement Winters is trying to write a biography of his recently deceased older brother, Joseph. Through the writings Joseph left behind-letters, diaries, notes, and confessions-Clement realizes how little he actually knows his brother and how vastly his perception of him differs from reality. As Clement tries to make sense of the life of his deceased sibling, he uncovers "little dark corners" of his family history and even his own life. This ebook includes an introduction by the author.

Cover Art: John Holmes (illustrateur). 1989 Edition. © 1988: 2nd in the 'Squire Quartet' series of books. 2nd printing of 1989 edition:- Synopsis: At 49, Clement Winter, distinguished psychoanalyst and Oxford don , is reaching a confusing time of life. Married to Sheila, ex-patient and now hugely successful fantasy writer, the cracks are beginning to show in an outwardly well-ordered and prosperous existence. For Clement is increasingly perturbed as he pores obsessively over the maze of papers left by his brother Joseph, who has recently died. Joseph, by contrast, led an adventurous if unsettled life, serving with the Forgotten Army in Burma and eventually returning to England after a poignant love affair in Sumatra. The more he puzzles over the lives of others the more Clement finds his own being called emotionally and professionally into question. Only from its apparent contradictions can life so oddly offer hope and revelation. Ranging from East to West, wartime to the present and the dead to the living, Forgotten Life shows Brian Aldiss at his most searching and inventive:- Review(s): "The mid-life crisis, with its fumblings, fudgings and miraculous accidents of self-knowledge, has seldom been better portrayed" - Observer / "Brian Aldiss works with such zest and Gaiety" - Nina Bawden / "Full of goodies. funny, human, tough, irresistibly lively" - Financial Times / "Excited me more than anything else I've read this year2 - Anthony Burgess:- (original cost unmarked).
