So what really happened when Sidney Pyke, 60s hangover and darling of his students found himself alone in the university pool with Bess Hooper, militant feminist and Pyke's most vocal detractor, at the end of the women's hour? From the author of "The Decline of the West" and "Veronica".
Is Sidney Pyke, Professor of Media Studies and Green Party councillor, guilty of raping the arch feminist Dr Bess Hooper in the university swimming pool during the sacrosanct 'women's hour'? Sidney has a conspiracy theory, not unconnected to the fact that he has recently insulted the Minister for Higher Education, poured scorn on Radical Women, outraged local dog lovers and not only deeply offended his own wife but a succession of very formidable mistresses...
'Veronica or The Two Nations' and 'News From Nowhere' are also available in Flamingo.
'Highly entertaining. Characters and plot roam freely out of the lecture hall and into the intertwined worlds of book publishing, newspapers, television and international media conglomerates ... all of which gives scope for richly comic and brilliantly marshalled set-pieces. Words are the finely-honed weapons that he lends his protagonists, and language the spoils for which they do battle in this funny, cleverly executed novel of ideas.'
INDEPENDENT
'The combination of elegy and energy, of savagery and gentleness, of laughter and muted lament gives 'The Women's Hour' its distinctive quality.'
LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS
'Caute plays artfully with the idea of a "hero" whose fantasies are indistinguishable from fact. Pyke engages our sympathies and his verbal duet with the philistine Minister for Education is a triumph.'
