An Accidental Man
£8.26
This is the story of the comic & yet relentless struggle for survival of Austin Gibson Grey, the accidental man. Austin is one of those people who needs to survive through the destruction of others. The others, in Austin's case, include his successful elder brother, Matthew, & the women who, one after the other, are so touchingly convinced that they can 'save' him. In this latter role we meet Austin's estranged wife, Dorina, a crazed angel, & Austin's far from angelic alcoholic landlady, Mitzi. Other women interest themselves too in Austin's fate, with hilarious & appalling results. An Accidental Man is a novel of extraordinary scope & variety in which Iris Murdoch's astonishing fertility of mind & unerring narrative skill are most felicitously combined. ...

An African Elegy
£7.19
' Dreams are the currency of Okri's writing, particularly in this first book of poems. AN AFRICAN ELEGY, but also in his books of short stories & Booker prize-winning novel THE FAMISHED ROAD. Okri's dreams are made on the stuff of Africa's colossal economic & political problems, & reading the poems is to experience a constant succession of metaphors of resolution in both senses of the word. Virtually every poem contains an exhortation to climb out of the African miasma, & virtually every poem harvests the dream of itself with an upbeat restorative ending... Authenticity shines out of these poems in the way it does fromthe work of some East European & Russian poets. ' Giles Foden, TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT. ...
