Publisher's Synopsis
An elderly writer, driven by fear, guilt and loneliness, seeks an alternative existence to that which he fails to understand. At odds with an ever-changing world, and unsure of his place within that world, he sets out on a journey of self-discovery. This is not just a flight from familiar or expected evils, but a search for new or forgotten values, an attempt to find a spiritual landscape in which he feels comfortable and human. Moving from the town to a wilderness, through landscapes of beauty and grief, life becomes a blur of dream and reality, madness and sanity, memory and illusion. As he feels that the net is closing in on him, he has only his anger and humour to ward off his despair. This nightmarish portrait is of a man and modernity, painted in colours of sickness and death, of pursuit and imprisonment. This is a modern-day tale of persecution and paranoia.
