`A man called Berg, who changed his name to Greb, came to a seaside
town intending to kill his father . . .' So begins Ann Quin's
madcap frolic with sinister undertones, a debut `so staggeringly
superior to most you'll never forget it' (The Guardian). Alistair
Berg hears where his father, who has been absent from his life
since his infancy, is living. Without revealing his identity, Berg
takes a room next to the one where his father and father's mistress
are lodging and he starts to plot his father's elimination.
Seduction and violence follow, though not quite as Berg intends,
with Quin lending the proceedings a delightful absurdist humour.
Anarchic, heady, dark, Berg is Quin's masterpiece, a classic of
post-war avant-garde British writing, and now finally back in print
after much demand.
