Set in a near future (the novel was first published in 1961 and is
set in the period 1970-73), this is Angus Wilson's most allegorical
novel, about a doomed attempt to set up a reserve for wild animals.
Simon Carter, secretary of the London Zoo, has accepted
responsibility and power to the prejudice of his gifts as a
naturalist. But power is more than just the complicated game played
by the old men at the zoo in the satirical first half of this
novel: it lies very near to violence, and in the second half real
life inexorably turns to fantasy - the fantasy of war. This tense
and at times brutal story offers the healing relationship between
man and the natural world as a solution for the power dilemma.
