Description:
In
these eight immaculately realised strange stories, Quentin S. Crisp
delves deep into the decadence of contemporary life. The fresh
originality of the tales and their settings: an English country garden
in 'Cousin X'; contemporary Japan in 'A Lake': is matched by the
elegance of the writing. They are unified, perhaps, by a yearning for
the achingly perfect, ecstatic moment. As Mark Samuels points out in his
Foreword, Crisp's fiction is '. . . too multi-layered, too individual,
to be labelled. One can spot influences here and there, a dash of this
and a sprinkling of that, but the end result is much greater than the
sum of its parts.'
