''A complex literary comedy from an extraordinarily powerful writer,.'' Malcolm Bradbury
''The great unbreakable wild horse of the 1960s British literary stable.'' Rose Tremain
''Rich as a compost heap.'' Melvyn Bragg

Locked in a lethal relationship, the two men stumble across Europe, shedding wives, self-respect and identities in a game of literary cat and mouse - and the climax of their odyssey, when it comes, is as inevitable as it is unexpected . . .
