Wheldons writing is precise and chilly, the authoritative hand in the small of the back pushing one further down the corridor and into the dark... a convincing, disturbing read NEW STATESMANWhen the letter came, inviting Alexander to attend an unspecified course of instruction, he somehow felt oddly compelled to attend. From that moment on, his world changed, all of his certainties and logic called into question.No-one at the institution in the small provincial town was able - or willing - to tell him what his course was supposed to be, and life there seemed eerily ambiguous. Ideas and standards were different from anything he had experienced in the past, everything was slightly out of focus, and gradually, in the face of the nightmare reality that confronted him, he was forced to call everything into question and learn again. But perhaps it was already too late... Has the compelling interest of any story with a mystery... memorable surrealist scenes'...strongly recommended SUNDAT TELEGRAPH A stark, disorienting work...prose that is meticulously precise THE TIMES This exceptional and accomplished writer SPECTATOR
