Alms for Oblivion is a series of ten novels, all telling separate stories but at the same time linked together by the characters they have in common: schoolboys and businessmen, writers and soldiers, prostitutes and patient wives, actresses and models.
Simon Raven's sequence of colourful and funny novels about the English upper- class misbehaving continues against a backdrop of intrigue in Athens, radicalism in Cambridge, turmoil in India and movie-making in Corfu.
The narrative unfolds through a gripping series of dramatic events, including murders, suicides, and affairs, set against a backdrop of chaos with fires, an explosion, and blackmail. Themes of gambling, illness, and madness intertwine with a vibrant social scene filled with parties and sexual escapades. The collection features "Bring Forth the Body" and "The Survivors," showcasing a blend of intrigue and emotional turmoil that captivates readers.
