A murderous Nazi-sympathiser on the loose, a dead father who has left a mystery to solve and a lost love all mix in this contemporary classic of anarchist literture. Overwhelmed by feelings of anger, guilt and loss at the death of his father, we are taken on a journey into a kind of madness in which the boundaries between fact and fiction break down. In a terrifying alternative reality, where even time seems unstable, we encounter the horrific figure of Pound, a murderous Nazi-sympathiser, determined to get his hands on a hidden diary and the protean but beautiful femme fatale Miss Waites. As art and life collide in this moving, often angry, but also funny book, the question remains whether art can make life whole again.
