Drawing on anecdote, autobiography, and an extraordinary range of reading, novelist Tim Parks has fused together essay and narrative to create a beguillingly new reading experience, at once charming, gripping and intellectuarlly mind-blowing. Whether he is exploring ghosts or First World Ware heroes, Indian gods or Verona Football Club, adultery or the EC, each piece moves with masterful assurance towards those moments of illumination when finally we appreciate, if only fleetingly, the relationship between our most intimate experiences and the larger world of ideas, and in so doing grasp the principles that underlie our modern way of life.
